Diagram for USCG Electrical Chief: What type of control circuit logic is featured in the electrical schematic...
Alow voltage release
Blow voltage protection
Creduced voltage starting
Dresistance starting
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) low voltage protection. The low voltage protection circuit is a type of control circuit logic that is designed to prevent the motor from starting or continuing to run if the voltage supply drops below a certain threshold. This is an important safety feature to prevent damage to the motor or other electrical components in the event of a voltage drop or brownout. The other answer choices are not correct in this context. Low voltage release is a different type of circuit that disconnects the motor from the power supply if the voltage drops. Reduced voltage starting and resistance starting refer to methods of starting the motor, not the control circuit logic.
