A.Under 150 V to ground
B.Under 750 V
C.Under 1,000 V
D.Any voltage, without limitation
Explanation: A Class B FSR Certificate of Qualification entitles the holder to submit declarations of compliance for regulated electrical work on installations where the completed voltage is under 1,000 V. For high-voltage systems (1,000 V and above), a Class A FSR certificate is required, except for underground raceways.
3Under the BC Electrical Safety Regulation, what is the scope exception that permits a Class B FSR to declare compliance for installations exceeding 1,000 V?
A.Emergency backup generator systems
B.Underground raceway installations at any voltage
C.Temporary construction services up to 5,000 V
D.There are no exceptions; Class B is strictly limited to systems under 1,000 V
Explanation: The Electrical Safety Regulation grants an exception to Class B FSRs by including the Underground Raceway scope, which allows them to declare compliance for underground conduit installations at any voltage, even if the conductors inside will operate above 1,000 V.
4How often must a Technical Safety BC Electrical FSR Certificate of Qualification be renewed, and what is a primary condition of renewal?
A.Every year; must pay the renewal fee only

A.90 days
B.180 days
C.1 year
