During an inspection of aircraft electrical systems, what should be determined about the terminal studs?

  1. The terminal studs are insulated

  2. The terminal studs are replaceable

  3. The terminal studs are anchored against rotation

  4. The terminal studs can rotate freely

The correct answer is: The terminal studs are anchored against rotation

During an inspection of aircraft electrical systems, it is important to determine if the terminal studs are anchored against rotation. This ensures that the studs will stay securely in place and prevent any potential hazards or malfunctions during flight. Option A is incorrect because while it is important for the terminal studs to be insulated, this is not the main focus during an inspection. Option B is incorrect because while terminal studs may be replaceable, it is more important to check if they are properly anchored. Option D is incorrect because if the terminal studs can rotate freely, it can cause loose connections and lead to electrical malfunctions. Therefore, option C is the best answer as it is crucial to ensure that the terminal studs are anchored against rotation during an inspection.
