A person holding a current MN special engineer license could be in charge of...?

Low pressure boilers only
High pressure boilers only
High and low pressure steam boilers only
High and low pressure boilers not to exceed a total of 50 bhp

The correct answer is: High and low pressure boilers not to exceed a total of 50 bhp

Holding a current Minnesota special engineer license means that the individual is qualified to operate boilers within certain parameters. The correct choice indicates that a person with this license can oversee both high and low pressure boilers, but with a limitation on the total capacity, which should not exceed 50 boiler horsepower (bhp). This restriction is crucial as it ensures that the person in charge has the requisite skills and knowledge to manage boiler operations safely and efficiently, especially considering the potentially hazardous conditions that can arise with higher-pressure systems. The limit of 50 bhp also aligns with regulatory standards that govern the operation of boilers, ensuring that operating personnel are adequately equipped to handle the specific requirements of the equipment they oversee. The other choices do not encompass the full scope of what a special engineer is allowed to manage under the Minnesota regulations. Low pressure only, and high pressure only options would incorrectly limit the capabilities of a special engineer license, while the inclusion of both high and low pressure steam boilers without a bhp limitation does not reflect the operational constraints typically associated with this license.
