Which of the following is true about outdoor electrical installations?

They require no barriers
Must be accessible for routine checks
Should deter access by unqualified persons
Only qualified personnel can enter

The correct answer is: Should deter access by unqualified persons

Outdoor electrical installations must be designed to deter access by unqualified persons to ensure safety. This principle is vital in preventing accidental injury or damage that could occur from unauthorized tampering or use of electrical equipment. Creating barriers or implementing designs that limit access helps protect both the installation itself and the general public from potential hazards associated with electricity. While there are various considerations like accessibility for routine checks and the qualifications of personnel handling the equipment, the emphasis on deterring unqualified access plays a critical role in safety protocols. Ensuring that only trained individuals can approach and interact with outdoor electrical installations mitigates the risks associated with mishandling or improper use.
