Question 407Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) The brake will be set by spring force. If the brake solenoid coil burns out on a cargo winch with an electrical brake, the brake will be set by the spring force. This is because the electrical brake is designed to be normally set, and the solenoid coil must be energized to release the brake. When the coil burns out, the spring force will cause the brake to be applied, stopping the winch and preventing the load from falling. The other options are incorrect because: B) The load will not fall if the brake is applied, C) The motor will not overspeed since the brake will stop the winch, and D) The winch will not continue to operate as usual if the brake solenoid coil is burned out.
