  2. A tube that is used to protect and route electrical wiring
  3. A signal cable that carries HF signal
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 2. A tube that is used to protect and route electrical wiring

Explanation: The electrical conduit is best defined as a tube that is used to protect and route electrical wiring

An electrical conduit can be made of:

  1. Metal
  2. Plastic
  3. Fiber
  4. All of these

Correct answer: 4. All of these

Statement: Non-metallic conduits are light-weight

Assertion: Non-metallic conduits have reduced installation labor cost as compared to metallic conductors

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the above statement and assertion:

  1. Both statement and assertion are correct
  2. Statment is correct, assertion is wrong
  3. Statement is wrong, assertion is correct
  4. Both are wrong

Correct answer: 1. Both statement and assertion are correct

The non-metallic conduits are lightweight as well as they have reduced installation cost

Which one of the following is heaviest:

  1. RMC
  2. EMT
  3. IMC
  4. All are equal

Correct answer: 1. RMC

RMC or Rigid metal conduit (RMC) is a thick-walled threaded tubing that is heaviest of all three. The other two being EMT (Electrical metallic tubing) and IMC (Intermediate metal conduit).

The most suitable conduit for embedded use:

  1. RMC
  2. EMT
  3. PVC
  4. Aluminum

Correct answer: 3. PVC

Explanation: The plastic material resists moisture and different corrosive substances thus making PVC conduits PVC the most suitable for embedded use

  1. PVC conduit
  2. GI
  3. EMT
  4. Flexible conduit

Correct answer: 4. Flexible conduit

The power distribution on a floor of residential complex requires 30 cables that are to fed 30 different rooms and having a common corridor. Which one of the following is the most economical method for routing through corridor area:

  1. Use a cable trunking
  2. Use 30 GI conduits
  3. Use EMT conduits
  4. Use 30 flexible conduits

Correct answer: 1. Cable trunking
