It is to reduce the impact of electrical shock to the workers (in case any). By having less voltage the consequence would also be diminished. Installation with higher voltage (110 V, 220 V, or 380 V) is possible to create a fatal incident depending upon the environment (wet, metal surface, etc.)

∙ 11y agoOther voltages are used in confined space applications. Depending on what the electrical reason power is needed in confined space different electrical equipment is used. In wet well applications explosion proof equipment is used and the voltages can go as high as 600 volts. Non explosion proof areas that are still confined space ordinary lighting can be used and low voltage applications do not apply.
Before entering any confined space an air sample must be taken.

What is the bacharach carbon monoxide detector used for?
A portable carbon monoxide detector is used to sniff an area in a confined space to make sure that there is no carbon monoxide gasses present before any personnel are allow to enter the confined space.
How many volts do needed to light a bulb per hour?
You generally need the same number of volts for a given amount of light (lumens), regardless of how many hours you use it. They typically measure the amount of energy used by a bulb in "watts", not volts, and you can find a wide range of wattage ratings from milliwatt LEDs to 1000-watt floodlights and on up.
How many 100w light bulbs connceted 6a circuit?
On 120 volts seven could be used, on 240 v fourteen of them.
What type of electromagnetic signals are currently used to communicate through space?
Infrared light Microwaves Visible light
What measurements are used to measure space?
(LY) Light Years and (AU) Astronomical Unit.
How much is the light voltage in confined space?
The voltage can be any voltage that you like or what is available. It is the specifications of the light fixture that defines whether it is suitable to be used in a confined space. One has to know what the environment is in the confined space before a light fixture can be chosen. The environmental conditions can be any one of a number of conditions including explosive gases. With explosive gases present, the wiring and devices within the space must all be explosion proof equipment.
What is the bacharach carbon monoxide detector used for?
A portable carbon monoxide detector is used to sniff an area in a confined space to make sure that there is no carbon monoxide gasses present before any personnel are allow to enter the confined space.
What fire extinguisher not to use in coffined space?
A carbon dioxide extinguisher (used on electrical installation fires) should not be used in a confined space, as the user could be overcome and be asphyxiated (deprived of air).
Is gold used in for space crafts?
yes it is used in space crfts and space suit to protect them from heat and light
Why only 24v light bulb is to be used in a confined space?
Interesting and totally arbitrary rule, (if 24 v is good, the 3 v should be better). I assume a rule like that comes from the fact that light bulbs generate significant heat which could significantly raise the temperature within the space. (Which means the wattage and not the voltage should be limited.)
How do you test for exhaust fumes in a confined space?
You need a special measuring device, generally known as a Gaseometer, used to detect and quantify fumes.
How does light effect in the interior of a space?
It makes it not dark, or less dark, depending on the exact amount of light (lumens) used in the space.
What is the meaning of the word caged?
The word "caged" refers to being confined or imprisoned within a cage-like structure. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a feeling of being trapped or restricted in some way.
WHAT used to measure how much space an object takes up?
To measure large distances in space, since light is used.
How many amps is a 100 w light?
Roughtly speaking, watts = volts x amperes. So, you divide the watts by the voltage used in your area. The voltage is usually either around 110 volts, or around 220 volts, depending on the region.
What is the measurement used to measure distance in space?
Distance in space is measured in 'light years' or in 'scientific notation'
What is used to measure space?
Units of volume are. For big distances, astronomers use "light years" and "parsecs". A light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.
