The same as in a car. The heavy current required by a winch motor can easily burn out a small switch .By operating a solenoid first you get a heavy duty switch operated remotely and closer to the winch terminals thus lowering voltage drops in the wiring.

An electrical solenoid on a winch controls the flow of electrical power from the battery to the winch motor. When activated, the solenoid engages the motor to pull in or release the winch cable, allowing the winch to operate.

How much electrical power will a winch use when it has an efficiency of 0.5 and a useful lifting power of 2500 watts?

If the efficiency is 0.5, then the useful lifting power is 0.5 of the powerthat it must consume in order to do the job.2,500 W = 0.5 of input power.input power = 2,500 / 0.5 = 5 KW.
