Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #963 (Set 33)

Which of the following fixed temperature heat-actuated fire detectors can be reused after it has detected a fire?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — bi-metallic snap-disc

Bi-metallic snap-disc detectors utilize a pre-calibrated disc that flexes at a specific temperature to close contacts and resets automatically upon cooling. Unlike fusible metals or liquid expansion bulbs that require component replacement, snap-discs are fully reusable.
