A first class grade B engineer can be responsible for the operation of boilers of not more than how many bhp?

  1. 200 bhp

  2. 500 bhp

  3. Unlimited bhp

  4. 100 bhp

The correct answer is: 500 bhp

A first-class grade B engineer is licensed to operate boilers with a capacity limit defined by state regulations. In Minnesota, the limit for a first-class grade B engineer is set at 500 boiler horsepower (bhp). This means the engineer can oversee the operation and maintenance of boilers that do not exceed this capacity, ensuring safety and proper functioning within prescribed operational parameters. This regulation is put in place to ensure that only adequately trained individuals manage larger and potentially more hazardous boiler systems. The knowledge and skills required to safely operate higher capacity boilers necessitate advanced training and experience, which are reflected in higher grade licenses or classes. Understanding these classifications is crucial for compliance with safety standards in the boiler industry, which aims to prevent accidents and ensure efficient operation.
