Question 5
Note: Read the entire question before answering (a), (b) and (c).
A three-phase fixed-wired induction motor running an industrial refrigeration
plant is protected by HRC fuses mounted on a switchboard. The motor requires
new bearings.
The motor is controlled by an adjacent isolating switch. However, the switch has
a broken operating handle and cannot be used.
You have been requested to:
Warning:
If any part of your answer is dangerous or hazardous, you
will get no marks for this question.
(a)
Describe how you would safely isolate the motor and its isolating switch.

Question 6
Note:
Another electrical installer has isolated, disconnected and repaired a 400V threephase circular saw in a joinery factory. You are required to:
Reconnect the machine by connecting the flexible cord to the DOL (directon-line) starter mounted on an adjacent pillar, and
Recommission the circular saw
There are no danger tags or lock attached to the isolator controlling the DOL
starter. The isolator has a locking facility.
The only test instrument you have is a multi-meter that has all the required
functions (scales).
