A) Voltage levels.
B) Current flow.
C) Insulation resistance of motor windings and cables.
D) Continuity of control circuits.

A) Providing a return path for fault current and protecting personnel.
B) Increasing the crane's lifting capacity.
C) Improving wireless signal strength.
D) Powering the control pendant.
15. What is the likely cause if a crane's motor hums but doesn't turn when activated?
A) The motor is overloaded.
B) A single phasing condition or a faulty starter contact.
C) The voltage is too high.
D) The limit switch is activated.
16. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are used on crane hoists to:
