Question 15General Subjects - QMED
70% to passItem "B" shown in the illustrated hydraulic circuit is used to_______________ Illustration GS-0103

The correct answer is A) shut down the remotely operated electric motor driven pump when the watertight door has closed. This is correct because item "B" in the illustrated hydraulic circuit is likely a shutoff valve or similar device that is designed to automatically stop the operation of the remotely operated electric motor driven pump when the watertight door has closed. This is an important safety feature to prevent the pump from continuing to operate when the watertight door has sealed, which could potentially cause damage or interfere with the door's function. The other options are incorrect because item "B" is not intended to act as a power source for the pumps indicated as "F" or "E", nor is it designed to shut down the operation of pump "E" when the watertight door has closed. Its primary purpose is to safely shut down the remotely operated electric motor driven pump when the watertight door has been secured.
