What chapter of the RPM is related to casualty power?

• A. Chapter 6
• B. Chapter 4
• C. Chapter 8
• D. Chapter 2

Answer: (A)

Casualty power is about restoring essential electrical support after a disruption using temporary or alternate power sources while keeping safety in mind. In the RPM, the procedures and guidelines for implementing casualty power are found in Chapter six. This chapter lays out how to determine priority loads, how to bring in portable generators or emergency power sources, and how to energize switchboards and distribution paths in a controlled sequence. It also covers important safety steps like lockout/tagout and avoiding backfeed or overload during restoration, so critical systems can come back online quickly and reliably.

The other chapters cover different aspects of electrical systems, such as normal power distribution, maintenance practices, or general safety procedures, rather than casualty-specific methods. So Chapter six is the section that directly addresses casualty power.
