Question # 11

A PV system is located at 41 N latitude. The sun angle is 23 on December 21 at solar noon. Assuming that the 65 ft tree is directly south of the PV array and will grow 20 ft. over the life of the PV system, what is the MNIMUM distance the tree to the button of the prevent shading?

A.

98 ft.

B.

153 ft.

C.

167 ft.

D.

201 ft.

Question # 12

A PV system includes a 600V DC disconnect with a fault current rating of 10 kA. The available fault current from the inverter is 12 kA. What must be done to comply with NEC 110.10?

A.

Install a current-limiting fuse upstream

B.

Replace the disconnect with a 15 kA-rated unit

C.

Reduce the array size to lower fault current

D.

No action needed; the rating is sufficient

Question # 13

A.

1 foot

B.

3 feet

C.

7 feet

D.

10 feet

Question # 14

Which is a requirement for designated battery rooms?

A.

must be equipped with panic hardware and open m the direction of egress.

B.

illumination shall be provided by lighting outlets controlled by automated means only.

C.

Gas pipe equipment must be constructed and installed for a Hazardous Class I location.

D.

Battery cabinets, racks, or trays must have a minimum clearance of 12 in. from any wall.

Question # 15

A commercial 600v carport-mounted PV system is installed with rigid running under the parking lot to an inverter pad located at the edge of the parking lot. At what depth below the parking lot base MUST condult be buried?

A.

12 in.

B.

18 in.

C.

24 in.

A.

Guardrails only

B.

Personal fall arrest system

C.

Safety net system

D.

Any of the above

Question # 17

A rooftop PV system is being installed on a residential building with a 30-degree tilt angle. The modules are oriented directly south in a location where the solar noon altitude on December 21st is 30 degrees. What is the minimum distance required between two rows of modules to avoid shading between 9 AM and 3 PM solar time, assuming the module height is 3 feet?

A.

3 feet

B.

6 feet

C.

9 feet

D.

12 feet

Question # 18

A connector not listed to be used in a concealed location and being used as a disconnect for PV equipment shall comply with which of the following?

A.

The connector shall have a non-polarized configuration.

B.

The connector shall be installed so as to guard against inadvertent with live parts by persons.

C.

The grounding member shall be last to make and first to break contact with the mating connector

D.

The grounding member shall be interconnectchangeable with receptacles in other electrical systems.

Question # 19

A grid-connected PV system on a dwelling is producing 30% less power than expected. The conductors from threes strings of modules enter into a 3-pole fused dc disconnect, and each ungrounded conductor is connected to a separate pole. On the inverter side of the switch terminals, the three strings are combined. The dc disconnect switch is opened. The voltages on the array side of the switch are 440 on string #1, 444V on string #2, and 0V on string #3. The dc disconnect is then closed and the inverter resumes operating, still producing about 30% less power than expected. A clamp-on ammeter is used to measure the dc current of each string of each string of modules where they enter the rooftop junction box. The operating currents of each string are 3.9A for string #1, 3 85A for string #2, and 4.3 A for string #3. What is the MOST likely with the system?

A.

Positive and negative output conductors of string #3 are faulted together.

B.

String #3 has an open connection and is not contributing any voltage.

C.

A ground fault is causing the current from strings #1 and #2 to flow into string #3.

D.

There is lower module mismatch in string #3 than in string #1 and #2.

Question # 20

When installing a ground-mounted PV array, which of the following grounding methods complies with NEC Article 690 requirements for equipment grounding?

A.

Connecting the module frames to the racking with bare copper wire only

B.

Using a grounding electrode conductor connected to a separate ground rod for each array

C.

Bonding all metal parts to the equipment grounding conductor tied to the main service ground

D.

Installing a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the DC side of the system
