(418) What is the frequency of inspection when you substitute a corrosion resistant steel (CRES) cable for a carbon steel cable?
- A.
  
  Double the time of normal inspection
- B.
  
  Follow the normal inspection schedule
- C.
  
  One-half the time of normal inspection
- D.
  
  Three-quarters the time of normal inspection
Correct Answer
C. One-half the time of normal inspection

Explanation
When substituting a corrosion resistant steel (CRES) cable for a carbon steel cable, the frequency of inspection is reduced to one-half the time of normal inspection. This is because CRES cables are more resistant to corrosion, which means they are less likely to deteriorate or require maintenance compared to carbon steel cables. Therefore, inspections can be done less frequently while still ensuring the cable's integrity and safety.

(419) You cannot cut cables by using a
- A.
  
  Torch.
- B.
  
  Cold chisel
- C.
  
  Cable swager
- D.
  
  Cutting machine
Correct Answer
A. Torch.

Explanation
A torch is not a suitable tool for cutting cables because it uses an open flame, which can cause damage to the cable insulation and potentially lead to a fire hazard. A cold chisel is a tool used for cutting and shaping metal, not cables. A cable swager is used for crimping and securing cable ends, not cutting them. A cutting machine, specifically designed for cutting cables, would be the most appropriate tool for this task.

(419) What is the maximum amount a terminal may be bent after swaging?
- A.
  
  ¼º.
- B.
  
  ½º.
- C.
  
  ¾º.
- D.
  
  1º
Correct Answer
B. ½º.

Explanation
Swaging is a process used to connect two pieces of metal together by compressing and reshaping the terminal. The maximum amount a terminal may be bent after swaging refers to the acceptable degree of bending or angling that the terminal can withstand without compromising its structural integrity. In this case, the correct answer is ½º, which means that the terminal can be bent up to half of a degree after the swaging process. This limit ensures that the terminal remains secure and functional while allowing for some flexibility in its positioning.

(419) In order to properly pull-test a cable, you keep the cable under tension for
- A.
  
  One minute.
- B.
  
  Two minutes
- C.
  
  Three minutes
- D.
  
  Four minutes.
Correct Answer
C. Three minutes

Explanation
To properly pull-test a cable, it is necessary to keep the cable under tension for three minutes. This duration allows for a thorough evaluation of the cable's strength and durability. A shorter time may not provide enough stress on the cable to accurately assess its performance, while a longer time may lead to unnecessary strain or potential damage. Therefore, three minutes is considered an appropriate timeframe for conducting a pull-test on a cable.
