In relation to the circuit presented below, mark the alternative(s) that you consider correct.
1 To enable actuator A2 to advance, it is necessary to switch valve V2 to the leftmost position and ensure that valve V1 is in its initial (intermediate) position.
2 Switching valve V2 to the leftmost position allows actuator A2 to advance, but for this to happen, valve V1 must also be switched to the leftmost position.
3 When activating valve V1, using the locking lever installed on the left side of it, the two actuators (A1 and A2) are allowed to advance.
4 Hydraulic pump B1 is a simple variable displacement type.
5 Valves V1 and V2 have a TANDEM center.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 310. When would the amber pilot light be turned on? a. When the manual/automatic switch is set in themanual position. b. When the float switch contacts are closed. c.

When the stop button is pressed the motor stops running. Which of the following could NOT cause this problem? a. The forward push button is defective. b. The F starter coil is open. c. The overload auxiliary contact is open. d. The normally closed R contact is open.arrow_forwardAn open winding in an electric motor means that A. the winding is making contact with the motor frame.

- Name two requirements that must be met before a motor can be used for wye-delta starting.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 15-6. If an overload should occur on the compressor motor and the overload contact open, would it affect the operation of the lube oil pump?arrow_forwardAssume that all three motors shown in Figure 12–14 are running. Now assume that the STOP button is pressed and motors #1 and #2 stop running, but motor #3 continues to operate. Which of the following could cause this problem? STOP button is shorted. The 2M contact between wire numbers 31 and 32 is hung closed. The 3M load contacts are welded shut. The normally open 3M contact between wire numbers 23 and 31 is hung closed.arrow_forward
- Refer to the schematic in Figure 7-10. Assume that when the START button is pressed, the control transformer fuse blows. What is the most likely cause of this trouble? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 4221. Assume that the THIRD SPEED push button is pressed. The motor starts in second speed, skipping first speed. After 5 seconds, the motor accelerates to third speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. S1 contactor coil is open. b. CR1 contactor coil is open. c. TRl timer coil is open. d. S1 load contacts are shorted.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 25–5. Assume that timer TR1 is set for a delay of 10 seconds and timer TR2 is set for a delay of 5 seconds. When the START button is pressed, the motor starts. After 10 seconds the S1 contacts open and the motor continues to accelerate, but never reaches full speed. After a delay of about 30 seconds, the motor trips out on overload.
