Q1: What is the purpose of an elevator counterweight?

a) To balance the weight of the elevator car
b) To provide power to the elevator motor
c) To control the elevator's speed
d) To operate the elevator doors
Explanation: The counterweight in an elevator system is designed to balance the weight
of the elevator car, making it easier for the motor to move the car up and down. By using
a counterweight that is approximately equal to the weight of the car and its occupants,
the elevator system becomes more efficient and requires less energy to operate.

Q2: What is the purpose of a governor in an elevator?

a) To control the elevator's direction of travel
b) To stop the elevator in case of overspeed
c) To regulate the elevator's weight capacity
d) To open and close the elevator doors
Explanation: The governor in an elevator is a safety device that is responsible for stopping
the elevator if it exceeds a certain predetermined speed. It is designed to prevent the
elevator from uncontrollably accelerating, providing an additional layer of safety for
passengers and preventing accidents due to excessive speed.

Q3: What is the purpose of the hoistway in an elevator system?

a) To house the elevator car
b) To provide access to different floors
c) To store the elevator's counterweight
d) To house the elevator's motor and control system
Explanation: The hoistway in an elevator system is the shaft or enclosure that contains the
elevator car. It provides the vertical passage for the elevator to move between different
floors of a building. The hoistway is constructed with the necessary safety features, such
as doors and guide rails, to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the elevator.

Q4: What is the purpose of the safety brake in an elevator system?

designed to engage and stop the elevator in the event of a malfunction or power failure.
It prevents the elevator from freefalling and ensures the safety of passengers by securely
holding the elevator car in place until it can be safely brought to a stop or manually
evacuated.

Q5: Which type of elevator drive system does not require a machine room?
A) Geared traction drive
B) Hydraulic drive
C) Machine room-less (MRL) traction drive
D) Overhead traction drive
Explanation: Machine room-less (MRL) traction drive elevators are designed to operate
without a dedicated machine room. The traction machine and other equipment are
typically located within the hoistway or on top of the elevator shaft, saving space and
construction costs. MRL elevators are commonly used in buildings where space is limited.

Q6: What happens if an elevator exceeds its weight capacity?

A) The elevator will move at a slower speed
B) An alarm will sound to alert passengers
C) The elevator will automatically stop and refuse to move
D) The doors will remain open until the excess weight is removed
Explanation: Elevators are equipped with overload protection systems to ensure
passenger safety. If the weight capacity is exceeded, the elevator's overload sensor will
detect the excess weight, and as a safety measure, the elevator will automatically stop
and refuse to move until enough weight is removed to bring it within the safe operating
limit. This prevents the elevator from becoming overloaded and potentially causing
damage or unsafe conditions.
