Which of the listed conditions occur when selection is made for 'third point hoist' on the winch hoist controller shown in the illustration? EL-0102
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Stepped acceleration in wound rotor controllers is governed by master switch contact sequences. Selecting third point hoist energizes specific control contacts that systematically bridge out rotor resistance steps, increasing motor speed and torque.
