Blow voltage release
Coverload lockout
Dreduced voltage restart
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) low voltage protection. The low voltage protection circuit is designed to prevent automatic restarting of the motor after a power failure. This type of circuit will not allow the motor to restart automatically once power is restored, in order to prevent potential damage or safety issues that could arise from an unexpected restart. The other options are incorrect because: B) low voltage release would allow the motor to restart after power is restored, C) overload lockout is related to overload protection, not power failure, and D) reduced voltage restart refers to a different type of motor starting mechanism.
