NFPA 70E Article 245 addresses Portable Electric Tools and Equipment.

• A. Fixed Equipment
• B. Stationary Tools
• C. Hand Tools
• D. Portable

Answer: (D)

The main concept being tested is that NFPA 70E Article 245 is specifically focused on safety requirements for portable electric tools and equipment—tools that can be moved from one location to another during work. This article covers how to protect workers when using these portable devices, including proper cord management, insulation, grounding or double insulation, GFCI protection where required, and the need for regular inspection and safe-use practices. It distinguishes portable tools from fixed equipment (which stays in one place) and from hand tools, which aren’t the portable electric tools this article addresses. Because the topic targets portable tools and equipment, the correct choice is Portable.
