Q

In an electro-hydraulic steering system, damage due to rudder shock is prevented by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering systems use hydraulic oil under pressure to move the rudder • Rudder shock happens when the rudder hits heavy seas or is put over quickly, causing a sudden pressure spike in the hydraulic lines • Devices that protect systems from over‑pressure are common in hydraulics and piping systems

💭 Think About

• Which option is specifically designed to protect a hydraulic system when pressure suddenly becomes too high? • Which devices in the choices are mainly for smoothing motion versus protecting against pressure spikes? • Think about common safety devices used on pumps, piping, and hydraulic power units to prevent damage when pressure exceeds a set limit.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a standard over‑pressure protection device used in many hydraulic and piping systems • Eliminate any options that mainly absorb mechanical motion rather than limit fluid pressure • Ask: which device would open or react when the system pressure gets too high, allowing fluid a safer path so components are not damaged?
