Charging system regulator |
|
Which of the following governs highway truck exterior lighting standards in N. American trucks |
FMVSS 108 |
|
In a standard SAE relay, which of the following is normally open |
5 |
|
In an older standard SAE relay which pair of terminals energizes the coil circuit |
85 and 86 |
|
The headlights on a truck with electromechanical controls and circuit breaker protection continuously lights then goes out, Tech A says that if the circuit breaker is a type 1 replacing it with a type 2 should fix teh problem. Tech 2 says the type 2 circuit is broken. Who is correct |
Neither A nor b |
|
Tech A says that the standard SAE relay terminal 3 is always the common terminal. Tech B says that in a standard SAE relay the coil circuit must be energized to close the normally open 5 terminal. Who is correct |
Both A and B |
|
What is the maximum acceptable total voltage drop across all of the terminals and cables on the insulated side of a cranking circuit |
0.5 |
|
Tech A says that a corroded light unit terminal could result in an increased voltage drop across the terminal. Tech B says that a corroded light unit terminal could result in heat at the terminal. Who is correct? |
Both A and B |
|
Tech A sas that a disadvantage of using LEDs as stoplights is that when the circuit is switched on, they illuminate at a slower speed than incandescent bulbs. Tech B says that xenon headlamps are a disadvantage in trucks because they have a shorter service life than halogen bulbs. |
Neither A nor B |
|
What type of filament is used in a halogen headlight |
Tungsten |
|
Tech A says that HID headlights consume more electrical power than equivalent halogen headlamps. Tech B says that HID headlamps are brighter and their blue light is more similar to natural sunlight than that of Halogen lamps. |
Tech B |
