The part that opens the circuit is the overload blocks that are situated below the magnetic starter and before the motor load. The latest addition to the electrical code book states that the "hot" wire goes through the overload contacts first before feeding the 3 wire control system. With the supply voltage in this position the whole circuit becomes de-energized when the motor load trips the circuit.
The old standard practice on a 3 wire control system, the neutral was connected to the overload relay contacts. When the overload relay tripped it opened the neutral of the coil circuit and the starter dropped out

How can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?
The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.
What would cause an electronic ignition ignitor to blow out?
A fire in the jet pipe would. the blow out circuit is used to blow out a jet pipe fire during ignition. this circuit stops the starter motor thus cancelling the ignition and fuel flow.
Working of choke in tubelight?
The choke works as an inductor(filter) induced 850V to 1100V in starting,by strarter make and break of the circuit. After glowing the tube light choke work as inductance and provide 110v to circuit, here the function of starter comes. It helps the chocke to brek from the circuit and to 110v from 850V.thankining U "Nikki"
Explain the necessity for the use of a starter with a dc motor?
In its simplest form, the starter of a dc motor is a variable resistance in series with the armature circuit of dc motor to reduce the high starting current so that the armature winding does not get overheated and burnt while the motor isgetting started. As the rotating armature of dc motor picks up speed, the starter resistance is gradually reduced so that the motor is able to attain its full speed when the starter is not expected to offer any additional resistance in series with the armature winding of the dc motor. At full speed the motor starts running normally, of course, without the help of starter. In other words, the starter offers resistance to armature current during starting of dc motor only. Under normal working condition of dc motor , the starter is electrically out of armature circuit of the motor. The starter protects the armature of dc motor from getting damaged. The electromotive force (emf) induced in the armature winding during starting builds up from zero value to max value to restrict the armature current within the permissible value at full speed. As the speed of armature/motor build up, armature induced emf also starts building thus reducing the role resistance offered by the starter, hence requiring it to gradually reduce as the motor picks up full speed.
Where is the position of capacitance of tube light?
The small cylindrical thing that You see (generally on a side of the choke coil) is the "starter " of the tube light. This is the capacitor used in tube light. And is used to provide a momentary voltage rise of nearly 400V to start up the tube light hence Starter.
What is the purpose of the holding circuit in a magnetic motor starter?
It hold the main contacts closed until the control circuit through the interlock is broken.
Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
What is magnetic line voltage motor starter?
A motor starter is a contactor (heavy duty relay) which acts as a remote-controlled on/off switch between the supply and the motor. Its operating coil is energised through an auxiliary stop/start circuit. It also incorporates overload function which will automatically disconnect the motor in the event of a sustained overload current.
What is low voltage release?
A low voltage release is provided by a 2-wire control circuit. In the event of a power failure, the magnetic motor starter will drop out.
How do you wire up a 208v single phase motor with micro switch?
if you are using the pressure switch to control a 3phase pump chances are it already has a magnetic starter and a single pole control circuit i have seen small 3phase air compressors with the contacts driven right off the diaphragm bigger ones usually have 110 volt controls i would be concerned about the current rating of the switch if you are trying to switch the motor directly there are many single phase compressors that run directly from the pressure switch
What will cause a star delta panel to trip in delta?
On a star delta starter a motor overload or a motor going to ground and cause a short circuit will cause the overload protection to trip. These overloads have to be reset before the motor can be restarted.
Why DOL starter is used in industries in-spite it has disadvantages?
DOL starters are used in industries in-spite of its disadvantages because it is the simplest form of a motor starter. A DOL starter consists of a MCCB or circuit breaker, contactor, and an overload relay that is used for protection.
Can you use three phase thermal overload relay in a single phase system?
Yes, when using a three phase contactor on single phase, the three phase overload block can be used. The wiring of the contactor consists of taking L1 of the supply and connecting it to L1 of the contactor. The load is connected to T1 on the bottom of the overload block. L2 of the supply is taken to L2 of the contactor. Instead of connecting the T2 to the load, the conductor is taken back to the top and connected to the contactor in position L3. The other side of the load is connected to T3 on the bottom of the overload block. The overload block has three N.C. contacts, one for each leg of L1, L2 and L3. These three contacts are wires in series to the stop - start circuit. Years ago on old schematic diagrams these contacts used to be placed on the up stream side of the magnetic starter's coil. When the overloads tripped the voltage was left on the control circuit which was found to be dangerous for trouble shooting. Now the overload contacts are positions on the beginning of the start- stop circuit so that when a overload trips, the whole stop - start circuit becomes de energized.
A motor starter will have a set of auxiliary contacts which is used to provide a?
Feedback to a control circuit that the motor starter has closed or opened its contacts as commanded.
What is the combination starter?
A combination starter usually applies to Motors.It is a Motor Starter that has some sort of motor protection within its circuitry, i.e. fuses, or circuit breakers.They typically contain Fuses, or Circuit Breakers, contactors, motor protection (in the form of Overload Heater-similar to circuit breakers, but may specifically for devices that draw a lot of current for a brief period).Combo starters may also feature Forward or reverse starting configurations, and push buttons for On/Off Control.Combo starters can be contained in a single enclosure, and combo starters can usually be found within MCCs (Motor Control Centers).
How can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?
The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.
