components
b. Permits starting from rest with maximum torque
c. Usage of comparatively small units
d. Generation and transmission of large forces and powers
231. What is the major advantage of a boiler water DP level
measuring system?

b. Overlap relays
c. Overlap sensors
d. Three times in a year proximity switches
