What is the name of the type of motor control circuit that will not permit automatic restarting after power is restored, following a power failure?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — low voltage protection
Low-voltage protection utilizes a three-wire control circuit incorporating a holding contact across the start button. Following a power failure, the holding contact opens, dropping out the main contactor and preventing automatic restarting when power returns, thereby safeguarding personnel and machinery per IEEE 45.
