Q

Which of the following conditions will occur if the brake solenoid coil burns out on a cargo winch with an electrical brake?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fail-safe design of electrically released brakes on cargo winches • Normal (energized) vs. loss-of-power position of an electrical brake solenoid • What happens to a spring‑applied, electrically released brake if the coil is no longer energized

💭 Think About

• Think about what the brake solenoid coil does when it is energized during normal winch operation. Does it hold the brake ON, or does it hold the brake OFF? • If the coil burns out, it can no longer be energized. In that "no power" condition, what must a safely designed cargo winch do with a suspended load? • Compare each option with standard marine safety practice: which options would be considered unsafe design for a cargo winch holding a load aloft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the typical arrangement: spring-applied, electrically released vs. electrically applied, spring-released • Decide whether loss of coil power should cause the brake to engage or release on a cargo winch • Eliminate any answer that would obviously violate basic fail-safe principles for lifting equipment
