# Quiz — Electrical Safety: 10 Questions with Answers

> 10 multiple-choice questions on safety: 5-minute discharge wait, 0.5 A DC switch rule, full-job PPE, heatsink temperature, and authorized-only actions.

Ten questions from the [Safety](/safety/safety-first) group. Work through all ten before scrolling to the answer key. Suggested pass mark: **8 / 10**. Each miss points to a specific source page — re-read that page, not the whole group.

## Questions

**1.** After powering an inverter fully OFF, how long must you wait before opening any cover or touching internal conductors?

* A. 30 seconds — the display going dark is the signal
* B. 5 minutes — timed, regardless of display state
* C. 15 minutes — only for battery work
* D. No wait is needed if the PV DC switch is open

***

**2.** The Kent G3 PV DC switch may only be operated when the string current is below:

* A. 5 A
* B. 2 A
* C. 0.5 A
* D. Any value — the switch is rated for full load

***

**3.** Who may open an inverter enclosure to work on internal parts?

* A. Any licensed electrician on site
* B. The installing technician, provided the 5-minute discharge wait has passed
* C. Nobody in the field — there are no user-serviceable parts inside; internal work is Kent service only
* D. The customer, for dust cleaning using a dry cloth

***

**4.** During normal operation, the Kent G3 heatsink surface can reach approximately:

* A. 45 °C
* B. 60 °C
* C. 75 °C
* D. 95 °C

***

**5.** The correct power-OFF sequence on both Kent platforms is:

* A. The exact reverse of power-on — battery side off first, grid AC last
* B. Grid AC off first, then battery
* C. PV DC switch first, always
* D. Any order, as long as the display is dark before disconnecting battery

***

**6.** PPE must be worn:

* A. Only during battery terminal work
* B. Only when the inverter is energised and running
* C. Throughout the entire installation process, from arrival to sign-off
* D. Only during AC termination work at the DB

***

**7.** For battery work specifically, the manual's footwear and hand protection rule is:

* A. Cotton gloves are sufficient for low-voltage packs
* B. Rubber shoes and insulating gloves
* C. Standard site safety boots are adequate
* D. No specific rule — follow general site PPE

***

**8.** Grid protection points — voltage and frequency trip settings — may be changed:

* A. By the installer whenever the local DISCOM supply seems unstable
* B. Freely, if export readings look wrong
* C. Once per season to match seasonal voltage profiles
* D. Only with utility consent, by authorized personnel, using the Kent-issued parameter sheet

***

**9.** After completing the labelled 5-minute discharge wait, and before touching any conductor, you must also:

* A. Tap the terminals with an insulated tool to check for spark
* B. Meter-verify that no dangerous voltage remains on the relevant conductors
* C. Wait a further 5 minutes as an additional buffer
* D. Nothing further — the timed wait alone is sufficient per the manual

***

**10.** The Kent rule for the earth-pit resistance reading at every installation site is:

* A. Measure the earth resistance and photograph the reading; escalate poor soil to Kent before energising
* B. Assume the builder's earth is adequate for a residential installation
* C. Only measure on commercial or industrial sites
* D. Quote the manual's reference figure to the customer as the confirmed site resistance

## Answer key

| Q  | Answer | Why                                                                                                                                                              |
| -- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1  | **B**  | The manual specifies a 5-minute wait after full power-off before opening any cover. The display state is not the trigger.                                        |
| 2  | **C**  | The 0.5 A arc-prevention rule applies to the Kent G3 DC switch. Operating under load risks a DC arc.                                                             |
| 3  | **C**  | Neither platform has user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the enclosure in the field is not permitted — internal work is Kent service.                         |
| 4  | **C**  | The Kent G3 heatsink can reach 75 °C during operation. Do not touch the heatsink during or shortly after operation.                                              |
| 5  | **A**  | Power-off is the exact reverse of power-on: battery (and any GEN source) off first, then grid AC.                                                                |
| 6  | **C**  | PPE applies throughout the entire installation process, not only at specific steps.                                                                              |
| 7  | **B**  | The manual's battery safety instructions specify rubber shoes and insulating gloves for battery work.                                                            |
| 8  | **D**  | Grid protection points are utility-consent settings. They are never adjusted freely by the installer or by improvisation.                                        |
| 9  | **B**  | After the discharge wait, verify dead with a meter before touching conductors. The wait alone is not a substitute for measurement.                               |
| 10 | **A**  | Measure and photograph the earth-pit reading at every site. Escalate poor soil results to Kent before energising — never assume the builder's earth is adequate. |
