As shown in the illustration, what event would give the same indication that would occur when a stern light circuit fuse blows open? EL-0058
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — stern light "2" burns out
In a navigation light monitoring circuit, the relay is energized by the current flowing through the lamp filament. If the stern light burns out, the current path is interrupted, causing the relay to drop out. This action closes the trouble circuit, triggering the buzzer and lamp, identical to a fuse failure.
