Question 1506 Deck General
70% to passWhich statement about the use of portable electric lights in petroleum product tanks is TRUE?
A
No portable electric equipment of any type is allowed.
B
The fixture must be explosion-proof and the line must have a ground wire.
C
They must be explosion-proof, self-contained, battery-fed lamps.
D
They can be used only when the compartment is gas free.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) They must be explosion-proof, self-contained, battery-fed lamps. This is correct because the use of portable electric lights in petroleum product tanks is strictly regulated to ensure safety. Explosion-proof, self-contained, battery-fed lamps are required to minimize the risk of ignition in these potentially hazardous environments. The other options are incorrect - option A is too restrictive, option B requires grounding which may not be feasible, and option D is not specific enough, as gas-free conditions may not always be maintained.
