Diagram for USCG Electrical Chief: Which of the following statements concerning figure "6" of the illustration is...
AThe symbol represents a switch which functions with analog parameters.
BThe symbol represents an overload relay.
CThe symbol represents a computer cable pin plug.
DThe symbol represents a switch using maintained contact with "either/or" logic.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) The symbol represents a switch using maintained contact with "either/or" logic. This is correct because the symbol in figure "6" of the illustration EL-0026 depicts a switch with maintained contact, meaning the switch will remain in the selected position until manually changed. The "either/or" logic refers to the switch having two mutually exclusive positions, where selecting one position automatically deselects the other. The other options are incorrect because A) the symbol does not represent an analog switch, B) it does not represent an overload relay, and C) it does not represent a computer cable pin plug. The symbol is specifically a maintained contact switch with "either/or" logic, which is the correct interpretation based on the information provided in the illustration.
