SMRP CMRP Sample Question Answers

Question # 1

Motor current analysis reveals an unbalanced motor current in excess of 40% when the motor is loaded to over 70% of its nameplate full bad ampere rating. What should you suspect and or what should you do?

A. Do nothing. Current unbalance is normal in a motor that is not fully loaded.
B. Order the motor to be removed from service immediately, since failure due to overheated winding insulation is imminent.
C. Order more on-line tests to confirm the problem, allowing production to continue as long as possible.
D. Atthe first opportunity, shut down the motor and have motor circuit analysis performed to locate the cause so it can be corrected.

B. 25% of all work is preventive and predictive. 60% of work is planned and scheduled at least one week before execution, 15% of all work is emergency
C. 95% of all work is preventive and predictive. 90% of work is planned and scheduled at least one week before execution, 5% of all work is emergency
D. 30% of all work is preventive and predictive. 40% of work is planned and scheduled at least one week before execution, 20% of all work is emergency

Question # 6

For the oil in a pressurized lubrication system, oil samples for analysis and trending should be taken from:

A. The center of flowing oil line upstream of the oil filter, to assure that the sample is representative of the oil leaving the lubricated components.
B. The center of a flowing oil line downstream of the oil filter, to assure that the sample is representative of the oil being supplied to the lubricated components.
C. A low point in the oil sump, to assure that the sample includes wear particles, water, and other contaminants that may have settled out of the oil.
D. The oil sump at a point above the bottom, to assure that the sample does not include wear particles, water, and other contaminants that may have settled out of the oil.

Question # 7

Why is change management essential to the implementation of a Maintenance and Reliability Program?

A. To create an appropriate paradigm shift where required
B. To explain past mistakes and lost profits
C. To overcome the "program-of-the-month" syndrome
D. Because management systems are slow to react
