Through contacts whenever a relay is used to switch a large amount of electrical power, it is designated by a special name: ac contactors. Contactors generally have multiple contacts, and those contacts are usually open so that when the coil is de-energized power to the load is shut off. Control of electric motors is the most common industrial use for contactors The respective phases of the incoming 3-phase AC power; typically at least 480 Volts for motors 1 horsepower or great are switched by the top three contacts. An auxiliary contact is the lowest contact which when compared to the large motor power contacts has a current rating much lower, but like power, contacts are actuated by the same armature. In a relay logic circuit the auxiliary contact is frequently used, or for another part of the motor control scheme, typically switching 120 Volt AC power instead of the motor voltage. One central air contactor may have There are several auxiliary contacts in one contactor, either normally open or normally closed if required. Three-Phase Electric Motor Contactor For a three-phase electric motor here is a contractor that at a municipal water treatment plant is installed on a panel as part of an electrical control system: Sample Contactors At the top of the split ac contactor that too with the help of screw terminals labeled L1, L2, and L3, three-phase, 480 volt AC power comes into the three normally-open contacts. At the bottom of this device via screw terminals labeled T1, T2, and T3, power to the motor exits the overload heater assembly. The overload heater units are generally black, square-shaped blocks with the label W34. For a certain horsepower and temperature rating of the electric motor, it indicates a particular thermal response.
The overload heater units must be replaced with units having a thermal response suitable for the new motor only when an electric motor of differing power or temperature ratings. On the appropriate heater units that need to be used, the motor manufacturer can provide information. In manually resetting the normally-closed switch contact back to its normal state a white push-button located between the T1 and T2 line heaters is used. Follow us on Twitter

You will find different types of electrical boxes. What determines the type of box to use is the location and type of wiring you're doing. After the job is performed the lunch box will be used. Before knowing about a specific type’s weatherproof electrical box, first, know about some things that apply to all types of electrical boxes. *All boxes should be accessible. With drywall, paneling, or other wall coverings you should never cover a box. *An electrical junction box should be covered with a blank cover plate if it holds only spliced wires and no device, such as a switch. * To avoid crowding the wires make sure that your box is deep. It must be deep so that a switch or receptacle can be installed easily that too without crimping or damaging the wires. Based on the cubic-inch capacity of the box electrical codes determine how many wires of what size each size of the box can accommodate. Unless you don't have room in the wall or ceiling it’s always safe to use a large box. * Inside an electrical box all electrical connections must be contained. In the event of electrical sparks the box shields the building material and other flammable materials. *With the front edge flush with the finished surface of the wall or ceiling the installation of an electrical box should be done. A weatherproof gang box extender should be installed if the space between the finished surface and the edge of the box is greater than 1/8". Fuse boxes fulfill the same purpose as circuit breaker boxes. Within a home, the fuse controls the electrical current from appliances. The major benefit of having circuit breakers in a home is that instead of replacing a fuse each time it is used, circuit breakers can be easily reset. It can become time-consuming, frustrating, and expensive to have to replace a fuse every time it is used.
In different materials and different shapes, weatherproof outlet boxes are available. You’ll be able to select the correct box for your home wiring project by familiarizing yourself with the different types of boxes. Follow us on Twitter |
