🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter J requirements for portable cables and plugs • Safety purpose of male vs. female connectors in preventing exposed energized pins • How regulations treat energized parts that could be touched when unplugged

💭 Think About

• If a cord can be energized when unplugged, which connector design best reduces the chance of accidental contact with live conductors? • Think about household extension cords: which end has recessed contacts and which has exposed blades, and why? • Would the Coast Guard electrical regulations allow a design that leaves live metal parts easily touchable?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter J how portable power cables between receptacles must be arranged for safety • Note which side (male or female) has exposed blades/prongs versus recessed contacts • Confirm that the correct option aligns with the principle that no live conductive parts should be readily accessible to touch
