Question 1 of 27070

In accordance with 46 CFR Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering), which of the following electrical repairs is permitted?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter J rules on splices and terminations for conductors and flexible cords • Differences between permanent wiring (fixed conductors) and flexible cords/cables • Requirements for strain relief so that tension is not transmitted to terminals or splices

💭 Think About

• Identify which choices rely on twist-on connectors and recall whether these are generally allowed on vessels for repairs to conductors or cords • Separate what the rules say about splicing flexible cords from what they say about connecting flexible cords to fittings • Think about why the regulation is concerned with vibration, strain, and insulation integrity on a moving vessel

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter J whether twist-on connectors are permitted for marine wiring repairs • Check the specific requirement that flexible cords must be connected so that any pull on the cord is not transmitted to the terminals • Confirm whether the regulation allows splicing flexible cords at all, or requires replacement instead

Question 1 of 27070

In accordance with 46 CFR Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering), which of the following electrical repairs is permitted?

Splice a damaged conductor with twist-on connectors if the insulated cap is firmly secured to prevent loosening due to vibration.

Splice a flexible cord or cable with twist-on connectors if smaller than 18 AWG.

Connect a flexible cord or cable to a fitting with so that tension is not transmitted to joints or terminal screws.

Extend the length of a circuit with twist-on connectors if in an enclosure and wrapped securely with insulating tape.
