Incorrect!
#6. A circuit that has a conductor in electrical contact with the hull of a ship is called what?
Incorrect!
#7. A generator has been exposed to water and needs to be checked before it can be operated safely. After performing the necessary procedures for drying the generator, what test needs to be performed before safe operation can resume?
Incorrect!
#8. A capacitor is to be tested with a digital multimeter set up to measure ohms. If the meter is connected to a shorted capacitor, how would the meter display respond?

Incorrect!
#11. A single-phase capacitor-start induction motor starts, comes up to about 75% rated speed, slows down to a lower speed, and accelerates again. Where is the problem most likely to be?
Incorrect!
#12. An electrical connection between the wiring of an electric motor and its metal frame is known as what?
Incorrect!
#13. A current-carrying conductor making electrical contact with a wiring conduit will be indicated by a change on the switchboard from the norm. Assuming that the distribution system is an ungrounded system, what will change?
Incorrect!
#14. A capacitive AC circuit has fixed capacitors connected in series. If the line voltage remains constant, what factor can allow the capacitive reactance of the circuit to be varied?
Incorrect!

Incorrect!
#18. According to 46 CFR, Subchapter J(Electrical Engineering), the type of control circuit logic associated with auxiliaries vital to the operation of propulsion equipment, where automatic restart after a voltage failure would not create a hazard, is termed what?low voltage protection
