70% to passAs shown in figure "6" of the illustration, what does the symbol represent as used in electrical drawings? Illustration EL-0026
Amaintaining type push button with an electrical interlock
Bnormally closed contact held open mechanically by an interlock
Climit switch with one set of normally open contacts
Dmaintaining type push button with a mechanical interlock
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) maintaining type push button with a mechanical interlock. The symbol shown in figure "6" of the illustration EL-0026 represents a maintaining type push button with a mechanical interlock. This type of switch is commonly used in electrical systems to control a circuit and ensure that a specific sequence of operations is followed, often for safety reasons. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) does not represent a mechanical interlock, B) represents a normally closed contact held open by an interlock, and C) represents a limit switch with normally open contacts, none of which match the symbol shown in the illustration.
