Hi Guys, I'm getting ready to take a state civil service test and I'm using a Passbook to prepare for the test. I came across an interesting question which I can't say that I agree with the answer as given in the answer key. Here goes:
The best way to determine the insulation resistance of a new wiring system installed in conduit would be to measure
A. between individual wires only
B. from each wire to conduit only
C. between individual wires from each wire to conduit
D. from the hot legs to the neutral
My choice was 'C' because you are looking for leakage between a wire and ground in this case being the conduit. But I could be wrong. The answer key gave 'D' as the answer which doesn't make any sense to me. What do you think?
