A special engineer shift engineer can operate a plant of what size maximum?

50 bhp
100 bhp
Unlimited bhp
30 bhp

The correct answer is: 100 bhp

A special engineer shift engineer in Minnesota is authorized to operate a boiler plant that has a maximum capacity of up to 100 boiler horsepower (bhp). This limit is set to ensure that the engineer possesses adequate knowledge and experience necessary to operate and maintain a boiler system effectively and safely within that capacity. Operating within this range helps to manage the complexities involved with larger systems, where there may be higher risks and additional regulations. The choice reflecting a limit of 100 bhp indicates a balance between the engineer's capabilities and the operational demands of a boiler plant. Understanding these regulations helps ensure that safety and efficiency are prioritized in boiler operations. Larger boiler systems or those with capacities that exceed this threshold would require a higher class of certification, reflecting the need for greater expertise in managing more complex boilers.
