an open service mast cap

GFCI electrical outlet plate cover

roof flashing around the mast or a

meter base

2.What is the primary purpose of an electrical service drip loop? Hint:to prevent water from what?

3.All electrical wires should clear flat roofs by:

4.Should Oil furnace exhaust flues run level?

Hi Steve, welcome to the TIJ. I'm Jim Katen, the moderator of the electrical forum here.

Please don't take offense, but before anyone responds to this, I'd like to know where these questions came from. You see, if they're part of an association exam, that association might not appreciate having them discussed openly.

If you got them from a book or study guide, that's fine. We can discuss them all you want.

So where are they from?

My guess would be the NACHI online exam.

Possibly, the poser's prose is proving that an unproctored exam may not be proof of proficiency.

Chad, Surely Steve may be simply striving to understand the service entrance and solve the test, not swindle the school.

Alliteration as an alternative allegory always assists altruistic attempts, allowing all angles an appropriate analysis.

So, Jim might be right.
