Diagram for question 405
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Action of door closed limit switch (LSC). When an electrically operated watertight door is fully closed, the door closed limit switch (LSC) is activated, which automatically stops the motor that drives the door. This is a safety feature designed to prevent damage to the door or the motor if the door becomes wedged or obstructed while closing. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the automatic stopping of the motor when the door is fully closed.
