🔍 Key Concepts

• Compressor operating cycle (on/off sequence) • Meaning of frequent starts and stops in mechanical systems • Difference between time and cycle terminology in maintenance language

💭 Think About

• Which word in the choices best describes how often something turns on and off, not how long it runs each time? • In HVAC and refrigeration, what common term is used when equipment turns on and off more than it should? • Look at the root words: which options focus on duration and which focus on number of cycles?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices use the word cycle versus time • Decide whether "starts and stops" refers to duration of running or number of on/off events • Eliminate any term that would describe running for a long period instead of very frequently starting and stopping
