Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is true about the "lockout control" on a synchronous self-shifting (SSS) clutch?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SSS (synchronous self-shifting) clutch basic purpose in a marine gas turbine drive • What the lockout control is intended to prevent or allow during operation and testing • Whether the lockout is normally a manual/selected function or an automatic feature

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Why would an engineer want to "lock out" an SSS clutch—what specific operation needs to happen without turning the main reduction gear or shaft? • Think about where a lockout device has to act in order to stop the clutch from engaging—does it matter which side of the clutch it is built into for this exam-level question? • Consider whether the word "lockout" usually means something that happens automatically, or something a human must deliberately select for safety or maintenance.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the primary function of a lockout on an SSS clutch (what motion is being prevented, and why). • Decide whether a lockout is normally automatic or manually selected on marine propulsion clutches used with gas turbines. • Eliminate any choice that conflicts with the basic purpose of a lockout: to prevent unintended engagement of the clutch under certain conditions.
