Question 298Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) using strip heaters inside the switch box. Moisture damage from condensation inside the cargo winch master switches can be reduced by using strip heaters. Strip heaters help maintain a slightly elevated temperature inside the switch box, which prevents condensation from forming and reduces the risk of moisture damage to the electrical components. This is a common practice to prevent moisture-related issues in switch boxes and other enclosures on vessels. The other options are not as effective in addressing the problem of condensation. Installing a light bulb (B) may provide some heat, but it is not as targeted and controlled as a dedicated strip heater. Venting the switch box regularly (C) does not directly address the root cause of condensation formation. Coating the switch box internals with epoxy sealer (D) may provide a temporary barrier, but it does not actively prevent condensation from occurring.
