With the same scenario but additional evidence that there is no outage to manufacturing or data equipment blocks, which bracket indicates the new area for testing?

• A. Bracket #1
• B. Bracket #2
• C. Bracket #3
• D. Bracket #4

Answer: (C)

When you know there’s no outage affecting the manufacturing or data equipment blocks, you look for the testing area that can be powered without impacting those critical loads. The best bracket is the one that represents a portion of the system that remains energized but does not feed those blocks, so testing can proceed safely without disrupting essential operations. This bracket is the one that corresponds to the energized, non-critical side of the setup, allowing you to observe the test behavior while keeping manufacturing and data equipment powered and unaffected. The other brackets would either involve zones tied to the critical blocks or wouldn’t reflect the new condition, so they aren’t appropriate given the evidence.
