A load monitor is used to do what?

• A. Watch for added loads that may threaten to overload the electrical system.
• B. Increase generator output under heavy demand.
• C. Control steering angle.
• D. Measure tire tread depth.

Answer: (A)

A load monitor watches electrical demand and protects the system from overload. It continuously tracks the total current drawn on the apparatus’s electrical system and flags or automatically drops nonessential loads when the demand gets too high. This keeps voltage stable and helps prevent tripping breakers or overheating circuits, which is crucial when running multiple devices at once. It isn’t about increasing generator output, it doesn’t control steering, and it doesn’t measure tire tread—those functions belong to different systems.
