🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T requirements for small passenger vessels • Electrical installations in spaces with gasoline-powered machinery • Differences between ignition protected, intrinsically safe, and explosion-proof equipment

💭 Think About

• Which of these protection methods is specifically associated with equipment used around gasoline vapors on small passenger vessels? • Is there one best-suited type of protection for this situation, or does the regulation require all possible protection types? • Think about which term you’ve seen most often in USCG regulations concerning gasoline engine spaces and fuel tanks.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 46 CFR electrical requirements for spaces containing gasoline-powered machinery or gasoline fuel tanks • Verify which term (ignition protected / intrinsically safe / explosion-proof) is explicitly used in the small passenger vessel regulations • Confirm whether the rule lists one specific standard or allows a combination such as “all of the above”
