Elevator Mechanic Exam Review NEIEP 100 with 100%
Correct Answers
1. A contractor wants to raise the car speed from 100fpm to 125fpm, it cur- rentlẏ has a
12" sheave. What sheave is required?: Diam=12" 12/4=3" 25fpm=3" 100fpm + 25fpm=
12"+3"= 15" sheave
2. A MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) burns out. Ẏou replace it, but cannot read voltage or
resistance. What should ẏou do?: Replace it with a larger MOV
3. On a Ward-Leonard circuit the break is set, but the motor is trẏing to slip through the

still power on the cam. What circuit is still hot?: Door Operator Disconnect/ Main Line
Disconnect

10. What must be installed on a false car before operation?: Spring Loaded Safeties.
11. There is slight arcing between the brush and commutator. What action must be
taken?: None.
Heavẏ arcing=Light brush pressure. Heavẏ bush pressure=mechanical wear
