In a refrigeration system that is not protected by a water failure switch, if the cooling water to the condenser fails, what will be the result for protective purposes?

Correct Answer: Option C — the compressor will shut down by the action of the high-pressure cutout switch

Loss of cooling water causes condenser pressure to spike rapidly; without a dedicated water failure switch, the high-pressure cutout safety switch trips, securing the compressor motor to prevent catastrophic mechanical or electrical failure.
