Question 29Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhich of the listed items will stop a motor due to a reduction in voltage and automatically restart it when the voltage is restored to normal?
The correct answer is D) Low voltage release circuit. A low voltage release circuit is designed to automatically disconnect a motor from the power source when the voltage drops below a predetermined level, and then automatically reconnect the motor when the voltage is restored to normal. This protects the motor from potential damage caused by running at low voltage, which can lead to increased current draw and overheating. The other options are incorrect because: A) A renewable link fuse would simply interrupt the circuit and need to be manually reset, rather than automatically restarting the motor. B) A non-renewable link fuse would permanently interrupt the circuit and not automatically restart the motor. C) A low voltage protection circuit may disconnect the motor, but would not automatically reconnect it when the voltage is restored.
