Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #1150 (Set 39)

In what situation would an electrical phase sequence indicator be useful?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — connecting shore power lines to the ship

An electrical phase sequence indicator is essential when connecting to a three-phase power source, like shore power. It verifies that the incoming phases are in the correct order (e.g., A-B-C) to ensure proper rotation of motors and prevent damage, as mandated by electrical safety standards.
