According to 46 CFR, Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering), what statement is true concerning the use of twist-on connectors?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Twist-on connectors may be used in enclosures as long as the insulating cap can be secured to prevent loosening due to vibration.
This is correct because 46 CFR Subchapter J allows the use of twist-on connectors in electrical enclosures, provided that the insulating cap can be secured to prevent the connector from loosening due to vibration. The regulation does not permit the use of twist-on connectors for splicing conductors, making cable joints, or extending the length of a circuit.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they describe uses of twist-on connectors that are not permitted by the regulations.
