Enclosures that are controlled by lock and key are considered accessible to which of the following?

  1. Unqualified persons

  2. Anyone

  3. Qualified persons only

  4. All technicians

The correct answer is: Qualified persons only

Enclosures that are secured by lock and key are designed to restrict access to only those individuals who have been authorized based on their training, knowledge, or skills. The term "qualified persons" refers to individuals who have received the necessary training and possess the skills and understanding to work with or around electrical equipment safely. In this context, access is intentionally limited to those who can responsibly manage or operate the equipment within the enclosure, thereby ensuring safety and compliance with electrical standards. This restriction helps protect the equipment and the security of the environment, as well as to prevent any unauthorized tampering or potential safety hazards that could arise from untrained individuals gaining access. Therefore, only qualified persons, who have the requisite training and expertise, are considered appropriate to access these locked enclosures.
