The voltage of electric light used in confined space should not exceed
- A.
12V
- B.
24V
- C.
220V
- D.
230V
Correct Answer
B. 24VExplanation
The voltage of electric light used in confined spaces should not exceed 24V. This is because confined spaces typically have limited ventilation and can pose a higher risk of fire or explosion. Lower voltage systems, such as 24V, reduce the risk of electrical arcing and ignition of flammable materials. Higher voltages, such as 220V or 230V, increase the risk of sparks and potential hazards in confined spaces. Therefore, it is safer to use a lower voltage of 24V in confined spaces.Rate this question:
