Question 402Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhen the control handle is in the 'off' position, what is the status of the solenoid actuated brake of an electric winch?
Aenergized and the brake is released
Benergized and the brake is set by a spring
Cde-energized and the brake is set by a spring
Dde-energized and the brake is released
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) de-energized and the brake is set by a spring. When the control handle of an electric winch is in the 'off' position, the solenoid actuated brake is de-energized. In this state, the brake is set by a spring, which applies the brake to stop the winch from moving. This is a safety feature to prevent unintended movement of the winch when it is not in use. The other options are incorrect because: A) the brake would be released if the solenoid was energized, B) the brake would not be set by a spring if the solenoid was energized, and D) the brake would not be released if the solenoid was de-energized.
