🔍 Key Concepts

• Study which master switch (MS) contacts are closed in ALL hoist positions but not required for lower. • Trace the control power path from the UV (undervoltage) relay through the master switch to the H (hoist) contactor coil. • Compare this with the path to the L (lower) contactor coil to see which MS contact is unique to hoist operation.

💭 Think About

• If the winch works in every LOWER speed, what parts of the circuit (including certain MS contacts) can you rule out as faulty? • Looking at the contact chart on the left, which one of MS 2, MS 3, MS 4, or MS 5 is in series with the hoist circuit for all hoist speeds, such that if its springs failed the hoist coil would never energize? • How do the limit switches LSH/LSL and the H/L selector contacts interact with the MS contacts—where is the single point that affects only hoist, not lower?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify for each of MS 2, MS 3, MS 4, and MS 5 exactly which hoist positions (1–5) they are closed in—look for the one used in every hoist speed. • Confirm which MS contact is in the supply line that feeds the H contactor coil but not the L contactor coil. • Make sure that the fault you pick would still allow full operation in all lower positions, consistent with the symptom given.
