Question 537General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) Door interlocks are used to prevent elevator operation if the doors are still open and only allow elevator operation if the doors are proved closed. This is correct because door interlocks on passenger elevators are a safety feature designed to prevent the elevator from operating if the doors are not fully closed. This ensures that passengers cannot be caught between the elevator car and the doorway, which could lead to injury. The interlocks only allow the elevator to operate when the doors are confirmed to be in the closed position. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of door interlocks. Option B is the opposite of the correct function, option C is about elevator use during emergencies rather than normal operation, and option D is the opposite of the intended function of door interlocks.
