According to CFR, Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering), which of the following statements is true concerning flexible electric cord and cable used aboard ship?
• 46 CFR Subchapter J – Electrical Engineering requirements for flexible cords and cables used aboard ship • Specific limits in 46 CFR 111.60-19 on when flexible cords may be spliced for repairs • Relationship between American Wire Gauge (AWG) size and allowable repair methods
• Look up 46 CFR 111.60-19 and identify which AWG sizes are specifically mentioned regarding splicing for repairs. • Consider why the regulation might allow splicing only above or below a certain conductor size—how does wire size relate to mechanical strength and safety? • Compare each answer choice to the exact text of the CFR: which one matches the gauge size actually named in the rule for permitted repair splices?
• Verify the exact AWG size that 46 CFR 111.60-19 allows to be spliced for repairs in flexible cords/cables. • Confirm that the statement includes the condition “if made in compliance with CFR 111.60-19” and that this matches the language in the regulation. • Make sure you are reading the section for flexible cords and cables aboard ship, not for other types of fixed wiring or shore power.
