Correct Answer: Option D — 220 volts AC

Motor controller control circuits on marine switchboards often derive their control voltage directly from the main power supply via step-down or direct connections. When supplied by a 220-volt system, the control circuit operating voltage matches at 220 volts AC per IEEE 45.
