🔍 Key Concepts

• Winch rated capacity and what it actually means in practice • Purpose of an overload safety device on electric winches • How a circuit breaker responds to excessive current or load

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens inside the winch motor as the load approaches and then exceeds the rated capacity — does the protection wait for a prolonged condition or react as soon as overload is detected? • Consider why the manufacturer installs an overload safety device: is the priority protecting the equipment and personnel, or squeezing the maximum possible pull from the winch? • Which choice best matches how typical electrical protective devices (like overload relays and breakers) behave when their setpoint is reached?

✅ Before You Answer

• Review how overload relays and circuit breakers are designed to act when current exceeds a preset value. • Consider whether a precise value like 99% of rated capacity is realistic for standard marine winch protection devices. • Ask yourself if a "short build-up of torque" is desirable from a safety perspective, or if protection should act without intentional delay.
