Question 49Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) The circuit for the supply fan is wired for low voltage protection. The reasoning behind this is that electrical circuits for critical equipment like engine room supply fans are often designed with low voltage protection. This means that if the main power supply is lost, causing a blackout, the circuit will automatically disconnect the equipment to prevent damage when the power is restored. The fan must then be manually restarted once power has been restored, as the low voltage protection circuit will not automatically reconnect the equipment. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the underlying reason for the manual restart requirement. Option A is incorrect as a thermal overload would not cause this behavior. Options B and C describe different circuit behaviors that are not relevant in this case.
