Hi,

I'm getting ready to take my test soon, and have been using the Journeyman exam books, and other test prep books as well. I came across 2 questions today that I'm not sure if it's a typo or something I overlooked, so if someone would be willing to review my answers I'd appreciate it :)

Q 1:

The conductor insulation of MI cable shall be a highly-compressed refractory mineral that will provide proper ____ for all conductors.

A. Covering B. spacing C. resistance D. none of these.

I chose B. Spacing, from art. 332.112, but it says it's A. Covering. Art 332.112 doesn't say anything about that, so I'm kinda thinking it's a typo, but just want to make sure to be on the safe side :)


Q 2.

The Grounding of electrical systems; circuit conductors; surge arresters; and conductive non-current-carrying materials and equipment shall be installed and arranged in a manner that will prevent objectionable current over the grounding conductors or grounding paths.

A. True B. False

I chose A. True... like it says in Art 250.6 (A), but the book says it's B. False. Again, not sure if I'm overlooking something or if it's a typo.

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated :)

Re: Exam Prep Questions

I don't think there is a single book or reference I have ever read that didn't have a error or typo of some kind. Check the very front of the book. Most publishers and authors will provide a "notice" or "disclaimer" to the reader that explains errors and typos are possible, or that the information may be opinion and not fact. In many cases, a phone number or address is provided to submit questions and comments about the text or information provided. In some cases, an errata sheet can be sent to you or even a revised edition.

Re: Exam Prep Questions

I believe the answer to Q1. is (B) Spacing. The mineral insulation keeps multi-conductor MI cable separated so they will not short out.

For Q2, I agree with you that the answer is (A) True.
