Question 125Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhen power is restored after a complete power failure, how will the steering gear pump motor which was on-line respond?
The correct answer is A) It will restart automatically. When power is restored after a complete power failure, the steering gear pump motor that was previously online will automatically restart without any manual intervention. This is because the steering gear pump motor is designed to automatically restart when power is restored, as per the requirements set forth in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. The other options are incorrect because: B) and C) would require manual intervention to restart the motor, which is not the case; D) the motor would not trip its overload relays simply due to a power failure and subsequent restoration.
