What type of equipment is explicitly mentioned to require an alarm system for ground-fault conditions?

Light fixtures
Cranes
Power panels
Fan units

The correct answer is: Cranes

An alarm system for ground-fault conditions is particularly critical for cranes due to the safety implications associated with their operation. Cranes often work in environments where they may be exposed to moisture or other conditions that could create ground faults. Implementing an alarm system can alert operators to potentially hazardous situations, ensuring prompt corrective action to prevent accidents or electrical failures. Unlike the other equipment listed, cranes operate at significant heights and move heavy loads, making it essential to mitigate any risk that a ground fault might introduce to the system, thereby protecting both personnel and equipment. Other equipment such as light fixtures, power panels, and fan units might have varying standards, but they do not emphasize ground-fault alarm systems to the same extent as cranes do in their operational requirements.
