The 'correct' answer is probably something like http://www.whsalisbury.com/blankets/images/blankets.pdf Page 14 states: “Tested to 20kV — Maximum use 17,000V”.

That is an incredibly stupid exam question, based on a cryptic ASTM Standard. Knowing that sort of minutia does not demonstrate any significant trade knowledge.

But you knew it..... [Linked Image]


One of my journeyman's test questions was how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.

It is in the code book both ways and if I need the formula I can find it.

This demonstrates trade knowledge how?
