NEW QUESTION # 53
A diesel emergency generator is rated at 500 KVA. When the generator is tested, the load on it is 220 KVA.
According to the NFPA, the MINIMUM testing requirements are to run the unit

• A. monthly until the water temperature and oil pressure have stabilized.
• B. monthly under load for 30 minutes.
• C. annually with supplemental loads for 2 hours.
• D. annually with supplemental loads for 30 minutes.

Answer: A

Explanation:
NFPA 110 (Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems) requires that emergency generators be tested monthly under load. If the available load is less than 30% of the generator's nameplate rating, the test may be conducted until operating parameters (water temperature, oil pressure) stabilize. For longer durations, supplemental loading or load bank testing applies, but the minimum standard is monthly operation until systems stabilize.
Reference: NFPA 110 (2010), Section 8.4.2.

NEW QUESTION # 56
The following information is available:

Which building has the best overall building condition?

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: B

Explanation:
To evaluate overall building condition, the Facility Condition Index (FCI) is commonly used. FCI = Deferred Maintenance ÷ Current Replacement Value. A lower FCI indicates better building condition (less deferred maintenance relative to value).
* Building 1: 1,200,000 ÷ 25,000,000 = 0.048
* Building 2: 200,000 ÷ 2,500,000 = 0.080
* Building 3: 25,000 ÷ 600,000 = 0.0417
* Building 4: 900,000 ÷ 10,000,000 = 0.090
Building 3 has the lowest FCI (0.0417), which means it has the least deferred maintenance compared to its value and therefore is in the best overall condition.
Incorrect Options:
* Building 1 (0.048) - Good, but not the lowest.
* Building 2 (0.080) - Higher FCI means poorer condition.
* Building 4 (0.090) - Highest FCI of the group.
