🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of space heaters in generators/alternators that are not running • What happens to moisture/condensation inside idle electrical machinery • Normal shipboard practice when a generator is on standby but not in use

💭 Think About

• Think about which action would best prevent moisture-related insulation breakdown in an alternator that is simply sitting idle for a few days • Ask yourself: Which option sounds like a standard, usually automatic standby condition rather than a special maintenance step? • Consider whether we normally want to keep parts like brushes and collector rings in their normal operating configuration if the unit might be needed on short notice

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice mentions something that is usually automatic for idle/standby generators • Check which option directly addresses keeping the alternator dry rather than mechanically changing its parts • Eliminate any options that sound like unusual or maintenance-only actions rather than routine short-term idle procedures
