FAA regulated questions part-1

• The type of electric wire terminals used for most aircraft applications, in addition to providing good carrying capabilities, are designed primarily-- to prevent circuit failure due to terminal disconnection.
• To test generator or motor armature windings for opens,--Place armature in a growler and connect a 110V test light on adjacent segments, light should lit.
• What is the color & orientation of the position lights for navigation on civil airplanes?--Left side-red, Right side- green, Rear aft- white.
• To what depth is the mica insulation between the commutator bars of a dc generator undercut?-- Equal to the width of the mica.
• A voltage regulator controls generator output by-- Varying current flow to generator field coil.
• Which type of dc generator is not used as an airplane generator?-- Series wound.
• What is the most accurate type of frequency- measuring instrument?- Integrated circuit chip having a clock circuit.
• During ground operation, aircraft generator cooling is usually accomplished by--An integral fan.
• What does a rectifier do?- Changes AC into DC.
• What type of instrument is used to measuring very high values of resistance?- Megohmmeter.
• When a diode is checked for an open circuit or a short circuit, it should be-- Disconnected from the circuit.
• When handling a high voltage capacitor in an electrical circuit, be sure it--Is fully discharged before removing it from the circuit.
• Cause of Thermal-Runaway in a Ni-Cd battery-- Excessive current draw from the battery.
• How can it be determined if a transfomer winding has some of its turns shorted together?--The transformer will get hot in normal operation.
•  For general electrical use in aircraft, the acceptance method of attaching a terminal to a wire is by--Crimping.
