Correct answer to question 11021
- A: Class 3 allows higher voltage and power levels, so additional safeguards against shock are needed
Explanation
Class 2 circuits are limited so they are safe from both fire and electric shock in most cases. Class 3 circuits operate at higher levels, so they are considered safe from fire initiation but need additional protection against shock.
