How is a circuit used for construction classified?

A circuit used for construction is classified as temporary because it is typically set up to provide power during the construction phase of a project and is not intended to be permanent. Temporary power circuits are utilized to support construction activities such as lighting, tools, and equipment used on the job site.

These circuits are installed according to specific safety standards, ensuring that they can handle the demands of construction while also being safe for the workers on-site. Once the construction is complete, these circuits are usually dismantled or replaced by permanent wiring and systems designed for long-term use.

The other classifications mentioned, such as permanent, commercial, and residential, are more aligned with stable electrical systems that serve ongoing structural needs. Permanent circuits provide a lasting electrical supply to structures, while commercial and residential classifications refer to the types of buildings and their intended use rather than the temporary nature of power used during construction.
