UPS Maintenance Mechanic Test – Overview and Sample Questions
Here is a breakdown of all 6 sections of the UPPS Maintenance Test, including sample questions.
Electrical
This very broad topic covers the following:
- Motors
- Digital and Analog Electronics
- Computers / PLC and Test Instruments
- Power Supplies
- Power Distribution and Construction / Installation
- Mechanical and Hand / Power Tools
The extent of this section on your UPS maintenance technician test will vary depending on your position. If you are applying to an electricity-related position, consider preparing with the Electrical Maintenance Test Preparation.
Electrical Sample Question
In induction motors, the difference between the synchronous and asynchronous speed of the rotor is referred to as:
Reading Schematics
Reading schematics is one of the most important skills for a maintenance worker.
This section of the test is fairly challenging because it is not limited to testing your knowledge of symbols and charts but also requires you to look critically at the charts and make use of your deduction skills to determine the right answer to a given question.
Reading Schematics Sample Question
What will happen if the forward button is pressed and released after a while?
Hydraulics & Pneumatics
This section deals with both practical and theoretical knowledge related to hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Being a relatively heavily theoretical section, the Hydraulics & Pneumatics section is especially challenging for experienced workers who have managed to forget some of the theoretical material they've studied.
Hydraulics & Pneumatics Sample Question
Which type of valve should be used when a precise, low flow is required?
Welding
This section tests your knowledge of welding procedures, standards, and both theoretical and practical issues that relate to welding, proper work standards, and safety.
Welding Sample Question
The advantage of intermittent welding is that it is:
Conveyor Belt Systems
Anyone who's been to a package handling facility knows how important conveyor belts are to the work there.
As such, it should come as no surprise that to work at UPS you must demonstrate knowledge of conveyor belt systems. In this section, you will be asked both questions about the operating principles of conveyor belt systems, safety rules applied to them, and troubleshooting and repairing conveyor belt systems.
Please note that the UPS Maintenance Mechanic Test Practice currently does not cover the Conveyor Belt Systems section.
Mechanical Systems
In this section, you will have to deal with theoretical and practical issues related to mechanical systems, particularly the ability to find and repair malfunctions.
Examples of topics in this section are pumps, piping, HVAC, and more.
Please note that the UPS Maintenance Mechanic Test Practice currently does not cover the Mechanical Systems section.
