What is the purpose of a timer wired into the compressor contactor control circuit on a refrigeration system?
What is a compressor contactor?
Answer .
it is the switch turns the compressor on and off if you look in your unit follow the power wires from disconnect the should go straight to the contactor
How is the compressor wired up you need a diagram for the full system to diagnose problems with ac?
There is a relay for the A/C, as well as a fuse in the fuse panel. Start by checking these to to see if they have power and the fuse is good. There is a single green wire that connects the compressor to the wiring harness, plus there should be a body ground bolted somewhere on the A/C frame. all the…se need to be connected and in good condition. Depending on the year you may also have wiring connections at the dryer that senses the pressure, if it is too low, it will keep compressor from running to protect it. Additionally, the switch in the dash has two wires (usually) connected to it. FOr wiring diagrams the best bet are the green covered Volvo service manuals. They are still available new from volvo, or used at auction sites online. (MORE)
The purpose of the bus bar protection unit is to isolate any bus by tripping its contactor or isolate a faulty bus in the variable ac system?
NO, it sounds like your asking about the protection and isolation of the Bus Bar. .
The Bus Bar is (usually 3, or 4) solid copper bars that run through an MCC (Motor Control Center) and just supply power to the individual 'buckets' (compartments that contain the individual motor starters)..
The …only protection for a bus bar would be from the 'Panelboard', or 'Switchboard' breaker that feeds the bus bar mounted in a separate MCC. Make Sense???, let me know if not... (MORE)
What is the difference between circuit breaker and contactor?
A circuit breaker is designed to break a circuit which is carrying current at the time. Where large currents and/or voltages are present, the opening of the circuit may induce dangerous arcing, so means such as air blast must be used to "blow out" the arc. Air breakers are being phased out and repla…ced with vacuum or SF6 breakers. An isolator is only designed to isolate a circuit or other component after the current has already ceased, so it doesn't need to have any means to stop the arc. Thus in high voltage/high current installations such as in power stations or grid switching stations, the initial operation to isolate the circuit, whether planned or as a result of a fault, is by the circuit breaker, the isolator is then used to isolate the circuit breaker for maintenance or repair. The difference between a circuit breaker and a contactor is that a circuit breaker can break fault current while a contactor cannot. A contactor is typically implemented in series with a fuse which serves to interrupt fault current. An isolator and a contactor are not synonymous. (MORE)

What is the purpose of a compressor?
A mechanical compressor is a device which compresses fluid. It is used to create differences in presssure which creates movement in said fluid. The compressed fluid also has more energy, and thus more uses than expanded fluid.
What is voltage stabilizer and what's it's control system circuit?
\nVoltage stabilizers are the circuits that are used to filter noise from the source voltage. DC voltage generated from a bridge network or diode network will contains voltage glitches. These glitches may cause serious problems to the operation of digital circuits. So a voltage regulator is used to …filter these glitches. voltage stabilizer can be built using a voltage regulator ICs like 7805 for +5V, 7809 for +9V, 7905 for -5V, 7909 for -9V and so on. (MORE)
How do you build a simple timer circuit?
Timing is complicated in electronics, and there are only a few good solutions. You should use a microprocessor called the LM555 timer (or just the 555 timer). While seemingly daunting at first, this small 8-pin device affords a lot of features and can perform one-shot timing (press a button and k…eep a light on for a certain time determined by the resistors and capacitors), astable timing (essentially generating an on and off signal), bistable timing (controlling two lights; one on and one stage, and one on at another stage), and with some clever 'hacking' it can be used to encode an analog signal into a PCM (pulse-code modulation) signal, often used for devices such as remote controls and toy aircraft. A quick overview: There are the pins 4 and 8 which should be powered. When you use pins, you count from the bottom left, which is indicated by the small indented circle in the chip. Pin 1 should be connected to the negative end of the battery or power supply. The chip can run from 2 volts to up to 14 (some chips support 18) volts but for something like an LED, 9 volts should be good (a different voltage would mean you'd need a different resistor for the LED). Pin 5, optionally, should be connected through a small capacitor (100nF or near) to the negative end of the battery; the capacitor should not be electrolytic. This is optional as it just helps settle the value on one of the internal comparators and makes the timing more accurate. Pin 7 should be connected through a 10k resistor to positive. Pin 6 should be connected to pin 7. At the end of this series, you should connect a capacitor, which determines the timing amount (as well as the resistor). The second capacitor should be about 100 to 220 uF, which will give you a range of 1.1 seconds to 2.42 seconds. You can of course adjust to any value suited. Pin 2 is the trigger. A 10k resistor should be wired though a push-to-make switch, connected to the negative end of the battery. Then, the positive end of the push-to-make should be wired into pin 2. Pin 3, the last pin, is the output. Wire a 330 ohm resistor and a green LED into this and you are set. Wire the end of the LED to ground (the negative end). Press the button, and it should work, timing for the value of the capacitor. The formula for the time is T=1.1(CR) where C is the timing capacitors' value (C being in farads, and it will be very small), and R being the resistor connected, in ohms. This will be the larger value. The 1.1 multiplication is just because of how the timer works. The whole circuit can be build on a breadboard/prototyping board. Or, if you have the skills, you can build it on a printed circuit board. It should be noted however, this timer is not 100% accurate. Because of component tolerances, you should allow for as much as 17.5% inaccuracy in both directions. If you need more accuracy, you need to get into the very complicated world of quartz crystals, real-time clocks and the like; and even they suffer from 'clock drift' (being incorrect by up to 30 seconds a month depending on temperature). In short, if you need accurate timing, you need an atomic clock! There are many resources on the web for how to do this. Simply use Google or your favourite search engine to search for '555 timer'.

The wiring in most homes consist of three wires Two wires make up an electric circuit What is the purpose of the third wire?
A short answer to this question is: the purpose of the third wire is that it is installed to provide a safety wire that will carry any ground current if a fault condition occurs. For more complete information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below. There are two main t…ypes of cables used in home wiring for the secondary branch circuits. One is a two wire cable and the other is a three wire cable . Whenever these cables are referred to, the bare ground wire is not included in the wire count as it is not a current carrying conductor. Most predominant is the two wire cable used for most circuits. The use of the three wire cable is for split kitchen receptacles and wiring of three way switches. In a big sq foot area home, three wire cables are sometimes used to take two circuits to the other end of the house instead of using 2 two wire feeders. These types of circuits use the common white wire for the neutral and the red and black wires for the two hot circuits. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself, on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances, always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. (MORE)

Explain the purpose of the simple and hold circuit in a computer controlled data acquisition system that uses a ADC?
I presume you mean "sample and hold"; to read a voltage an ADC takes a finite amount of time - if the voltage changes during that time, then a misreading can occur. The sample and hold keeps the voltage seen by the ADC constant during the reading time.

The neutral conductor acts as the 'return' path to the transformer, carrying the same load current as the line conductor. (MORE)
How do you wire a contactor 20 amp?
A contactor is nothing more than a switch but it is electrically operated instead of mechanically operated as you would find with snap switches in your home. As with any switch, you need to make sure it is rated for the voltage and amps you intend to feed through it. You will have a pair if termin…als for each hot wire. In addition you have terminals for the coil that operates the contactor. Very often this is a smaller voltage but not always. These control wires may be connected to any piece of control equipment, which may be a snap switch, but may also be a thermostat, light or motion sensor, or various types of hydraulic sensors such as pressure, flow, or float. In today's technology the coil may be activated by computer signal which may be reading many different conditions. (MORE)
How do you wire 3 timers to one outlet using contactor?
A timer is a type of contactor. My answer assumes you do not need an additional contactor besides the timers and the timers are operated by the same circuit as the outlet. Each timer and the outlet need connections to the neutral and grounding conductors of the circuit. For the hot wires, you hav…e to run your hot feed to each of the timers on the "line" side of the contacts. If the timer and the "line" side of the contacts are different connections you will have 2 connections in each timer. Then from the "load" side of the contacts you run wires that connect to the hot side of your outlet. At some point you will splice these together so you have only one hot wire connection to the outlet. Remember that timers, contactors, relays, etc., are simply switches operated by various means. You have the hot feed on one side and the "switch leg" to your load. You also have a control of some kind, and in your case your controls are the timers. (MORE)

How many wires to control a contactor?
A contactor is a type of switch. However this switch uses electricity to power an electromagnetic coil to switch on or off power. Hence a contactor needs 2 wires - A live/hot wire and a neutral wire. Generally these are connected across the A1 and A2 terminals of the contactor.
What is the function of timer in an electric circuit?
A timer can be of two types. An off-delay timer is used when the circuit needs to be energized for a specific amount of time after the off-delay's timers coil becomes de-energized. An example of this is when a cutoff saw becomes de-energized but the conveyor, to move the wood along, needs to be oper…ational until the wood clears the saw head. The other type of timer is an on-delay timer. An on-delay timer is used when you don't want all of the equipment to come an at once. After a power failure, in motor circuit starters you don't want to create a high inrush to the MCC (Motor Control Center) when all of the motors try and start at once. This high inrush could trip the MCC breaker an then none of the motors would start. Each motor module has its own on-delay timer so that the motor starts are staggered. The first motor will start, when the on-delay timer of the second motor times out, it will start, and so on until all of the motors are back on line and running again. (MORE)
