Question 233Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passAs shown in the illustrated steering hydraulic pump motor controller, what statement is true? Illustration EL-0119

The correct answer is A) The pump motor is protected by low voltage release and protected from motor overload by visual warning. This is correct because the illustrated steering hydraulic pump motor controller shows that the pump motor is protected by a low voltage release mechanism, which would disconnect the motor if the voltage drops below a safe level. Additionally, the controller indicates that the motor is protected from overload by a visual warning, likely an indicator light or gauge, rather than an overload trip that would automatically disconnect the motor. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the protection features shown in the illustration. Options B and D incorrectly state that the motor is protected by an overload trip, and options C and D incorrectly state that the motor is protected by low voltage protection, rather than low voltage release.
