Question 1079 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to the regulations, the only portable electrical equipment permitted in a compartment that is not gas free is a lamp that is self-contained, approved explosion proof, and battery-fed. This is to mitigate the risk of ignition sources in an environment that may contain flammable gases or vapors. The self-contained and battery-fed requirements ensure the lamp does not draw power from the vessel's electrical system, while the explosion proof rating means the lamp is designed to contain any internal sparks or heat that could ignite the surrounding atmosphere. The other options (A, B, and C) are all correct components of the full regulatory requirement, so D) All of the above is the comprehensive correct answer.
