  1. Which IEEE standard governs the testing and performance requirements for rubber insulating gloves used by BGE linemen performing live-line work?

    Answer: ASTM D120

    ASTM D120 (Standard Specification for Rubber Insulating Gloves) defines the classes, performance requirements, and test methods for rubber insulating gloves.

  2. According to NFPA 70E, an arc flash hazard analysis must be updated or reviewed at a minimum every:

    Answer: 5 years

    NFPA 70E requires arc flash hazard analysis to be reviewed and updated at intervals not to exceed 5 years, or when major modifications occur.

  3. A BGE crew discovers that a customer's service entrance conductor is undersized per NEC 230.42. Who is responsible for correcting this deficiency?

    Answer: The customer/property owner, since NEC 230 governs the customer's service entrance

    The service entrance conductors from the weatherhead to the meter base are the property owner's responsibility and must comply with NEC Article 230.

  4. Under NERC CIP standards applicable to BGE's transmission operations, which CIP standard addresses physical security of critical cyber assets located at substations?

    Answer: CIP-006

    NERC CIP-006 (Physical Security of BES Cyber Systems) requires utilities to implement physical security controls at facilities housing critical cyber assets.

  5. When BGE performs switching operations to de-energize a feeder for maintenance, the NESC requires the crew to follow which safety principle to verify the line is de-energized?

    Answer: Test-Before-Touch using an approved voltage detector

    The NESC and OSHA 1910.269 require workers to test conductors with an approved voltage detector (Test-Before-Touch) before treating them as de-energized.

  6. Which FCC regulation requires BGE to coordinate the installation of new transmission structures above a certain height to prevent interference with air navigation?

    Answer: FCC Part 17

    FCC Part 17 (Construction, Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures) governs the lighting and marking of structures that may pose hazards to air navigation.

  7. Under the Maryland Healthy Air Act and EPA regulations, BGE must report SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas emissions from transmission equipment because SF6 is classified as:

    Answer: A potent greenhouse gas under the Clean Air Act

    SF6 is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential ~23,500 times that of CO2, and utilities must report emissions under EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
