Q17. Insulation resistance testing is being performed on the conductors of a 3-year-old PV system. With a constant high test voltage being applied to a dc conductor, the test results in a high resistance reading. Which does this finding indicate?

Q18. Which of the following tests measures axial uplift whenperforming load testing of driven-pile foundation members

Q19. An 8KWsc roof-mounted array is placed on a school building. The inverter is located within 1 ft, of the array boundary and has an integrated ac-and dc-disconnecting switch. The system is to be connected to a 400A load center, protected by a 400A main breaker. Which of the following MUST be included to meet NEC requirements?

Q20. A ground resistance measurement on a newly installed grounding electrode indicates a resistance of 130. The earth connection may be improved by connecting the existing electrode to a:

Q21. An 8 AWG bare copper equipment ground conductor (EGC) is wire tied to the module mounting structure of a commercial rooftop solararray. After a few years of operation, some spots on the EGC begin to turn a green color and appear to be corroding more significantly that other places. What would the MOST likely cause of the problem?

Q22. A PV array with 58 in. X 38 in modules in portrait orientation is to be mounted at a 35 tiit angle on a shingle roof that has a 5:12 pitch. Assuming the support leg is attached to the top of the modules and is perpendicular to its face, what is the length of the support leg for the modules?

Q23. Aerial lifts used to hoist equipment and PV modules to roof levels may be fieldmodifiedfor uses other than those intended by the manufacturer with which approval or certification?

Q24. A PV system was installed in July 2017 under the 2017 NEC. The system has a string inverter located inside a garage on a wall 10 ft, from the outside wall and 1oft, from the ac load center at the point of utility connection.
The PV system has a PV array on the roof. Which of the following represents the PV rapid shutdown system requirement for the controlled PV system conductors associated with this PV array?

Q25. Which of the following requires a UL listing or its equivalent?

Q26. Thermal imaging infrared cameras can be used to help find which of the following system operational issues?

Q27. The point-of-utility connection of a residential utility-interactive PV system is in the main distribution panel. If the busbars of the main distribution panel are rated at 200A, and if the distribution panel has a 200A main breaker, the rated output current of the inverter cannot exceed.

Q28. A AWG THWN-2 PV output conductors from two PV arrays are run in the same 3 in, conduit to their respective functionally grounded inverters in the building. The three PV source circuits are each protected by a
15A fuse in the combiner box at the array. The conduit, which is strapped directly to the roof,is exposed to design temperatures of 140′ F (60’C) during its 30 ft.
Exposed run. What is the MAXIMUM current carrying capability value of the PV output conductors?

Q29. A homeowner is weighing the PV module options for a roof-mounted solar array. Which is a correct option to present to the homeowner?

Q30. A bank of batteries with capability of supplying 250A and a maximum voltage of 325V is housed in a concrete structure in a very humid location. There is service access alsie between rows of batteries. What is the REQUIRED safety distance between the rows of batteries.

Q31. When performing a system checkout after completing the installation, what is the SAFEST sequence of tasks to detect installation errors before closing any disconnects to the inverter, charge controller, or batteries?

Q32. An installer has decided to use 31 in. long. 3.1/2 in diameter conical ground screws as the footings for a
3.840W solar electric system. Access to he is too difficult to pour concrete footings. The soll is classified as sandy loam. The design wind speed is 90 mph with an uplift force of 32 ibs/ft2. What is the MINIMUM number of screw required to resist uplift loads?

Q33. A7KW/ 14 KWh multimode systemhas been installed at a residence, ac-couple with the customer’s existing
6.7kwh ac PV system. The system providers uninterrupted power to a protect loads subpanel, which is connected to a refrigerator, Microwave, 1.0 ton are conditioner, three lightning circuit, and the 6.7kwac PV system. One month later, the homeowner moves additional circuits to the protected loads subpanel, substantially increasing the loads. Why would this cause, the backfed interconnection breaker in the main service panel to trip?

Q34. Which of the following MUST be referenced for determining a site’s design wind speed?

Q35. A homeowner is concerned that a 6kWdc PV system might be experiencing a performance issue. The homeowner has noticed what appears to be declining production. The installer analyzes the following data acquisition system (DAS) results for each year since the installation:

Given the data, which is the MOST likely conclusion to draw?

Q36. A PV system equipped with rapid shutdown requires a label stating ”RAPID SHUTDOWN SWITCH FOR SOLAR PV SYSTEM”.
Which is the BEST description of where this label is required?

Q37. In the middle of a winter day, the data acquisition system for a ground-mounted PV system with large central inverters sends an email alert that system performance is at 50% based on irradiance and temperature performance calculations. No inverters are completely offline. The closed technician is a 4-hour drive from the site, and there are no cameras on site. Which is the BEST response to this situation?

Q38. Which of the following is an NEC-indicate means to identify PV source and output circuits at accessible points of termination connection, and splices?
