What is a dry contact and no volt contact in the context of electrical engineering?

A "dry" contact is a contact that is not initially connected to a voltage source. It could be stand-alone, such as a pressure switch mounted on a boiler. Or, if the contact is mounted as part of an electrical unit that has a power source, then the "dry" contact has no pre-wired electrical connection to that power source. For example, a magnetic motor starter may have an extra contact that is not connected to the control circuit that starts and stops the motor. However, when the motor starts, the "dry" contact changes state, because the mechanical action of the starter moves the contact. This "dry" contact could then be wired to devices/circuits that are separate/remote from the motor starter circuits. I do not recognize the term "no volt contact" but I suspect that it is the same thing. A specific type of dry contact in the USA is a "form C" contact which is a three wire contact: Normally Open(NO), Normally Closed (NC), and a Common (C).


What do ground do in a circuit?

Circuits are on the ground for a few reasons one is to prevent contact with dangerous voltage if the electrical insulation fails. Also been on the ground limits the build- up of electricity static.


What are electrical contacts?

Two answers for this question. An electrical contact is any point in a circuit that a wire connects to, such as a screw or terminal block. The term is also used when referring to control circuits. There are contacts inside Relays, Ligthting contators, and motor starters. They can be called N.O. for normally open, and or N.C. for normally closed. They "Make" of "Break" and electrical circuit.


What are two methods used in most circuit breakers to protect electrical circuits?

There is a heated bimetallic strip that provides a time delay small overload protection. When its contact makes, it energizes a coil to trip the breaker. Some breakers are mechanical, though. There is a coil that trips the breaker instantly on large overload.

Why do we use lugs in cables?

In the electrical industry, there are a variety of different uses for electrical lugs. Electrical lugs help provide the supply and distribution of electrical current without creating any hindrance between the electrical cables they’re connecting. Electrical lugs are often used when it isn’t possible to permanently connect two wires. Some of their most common uses include connecting two or more electrical cables, as well as connecting fuse sockets, load switches, and electrical appliances. Traditionally, only one end of an electrical lug is used to connect a cable to an electrical device. One end of the lug is soldered, crimped, or welded to ensure it’s installed properly and the other end of the lug is connected to the device.When it comes to finding high-quality electrical lugs for your application, contact the team from Greaves Corporation online today.

What is the best way to clean the connectors on the original wire harness for a 97 Nissan XE 4X4?

The best thing to use for any type electrical connector or relay would be contact cleaner spray. It can be found at any parts house or electrical wharehouse. If you cant find contact cleaner try pure isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Spray contact cleaner on connectors and brush with toothbrush; repeat if neccessary. let dry before re-connecting and starting engine.

How do you wire two lighting circuits through a time clock?

If you mean two separate circuits from different breakers, you will need a 2-pole time clock. The circuits will need to be kept completely separate, including neutrals. Remember that a time clock is just a switch operated by a timer and you only switch the hot wires. The clock will be operated by one of the circuits. For this you will need the neutral of that circuit connected to the neutral contact of the clock. This is all rather simple if you can follow the wiring diagram provided with the clock. I doubt you can find a 2-pole clock at the local hardware or home improvement store. You may have to go to an electrical supplier. I say this is simple and for an electrician it is. If you get the clock you need and it doesn't make sense to you in a minute or two you should not attempt to do this yourself. Crossing the hot wires or connecting the wrong neutrals to each other can create very unsafe conditions.
