Basic Requirements
Amanda,
In regard to your question about the capacitor, you have not considered the fact that you stated it was three-phase!
It would appear you are trying to study examination questions rather than learning the basic code requirements and related technical knowledge that a journeyman electrician is expected to know.
When I see questions such as the ones you are posting, questions that seem very specific, but yet lack complete details, well you wonder where they are coming from.
Don't waste your time trying memorize questions that seem confusing because someone only remember part of the information, or does not recall the complete context. DLI has probably changed the variables of the question anyway.
The proper application of code requirements is dependent upon have all the details and context!
Get some good study material that has clear, consise questions and provides answers that include step-by-step solutions.
It does not seem unreasonable that a licensed journeyman should understand grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, conductor ampacity, branch circuit calculations, placement of required outlets and switches, etc.
So, if half the individuals taking the Minnesota Examination don't understand the items listed above, or can't sovle for an unknown variable in single-phase or three-phase system, wouldn't know what an ungrounded or grounded conductor was, then I wouldn't be surprised if the passing rate was 50%
