What is the main purpose of SPST and DPST switches?

An SPST switch can break the connection or hold the connection depending on which switch your using.


What is a single pole single throw?

It is a type of switch or relay where there is just one set of contacts. The contacts can be open or closed. There are two terminals. A standard light switch like you would find in your home is a good example of a switch with a SPST contact.


What is the main purpose of SPDT and DPDT switches?

The number of poles refers to how may separate signals or if you will, wires you switch when the switch is activated or deactivated. For example your typical light switch just switches the hot wire and turns the light on or off and is called a SPST switch. The SPDT switches a signal to either of two circuits. So for example, if you had hot connected to the input and a light connected to each output (Throw), you would have one light on and one off and each time you throw the switch the lights switch which is off and which is on. The DPDT can switch two separate signals at the same time and each goes to one of two separate circuits. If you had two separate breakers and four light bulbs you could hook up one breaker hot to one pole and the other breaker to the second pole. If you had four light bulbs each connected to each of two switch outputs, then one bulb from each breaker would be on and when switched the other bulb on each breaker would be on. For diagrams just search for SPDT and DPDT.


What are form A form B and form C contacts?

These are contact arrangements that can be found on switches and relays. The form designation is fairly old and rarely used now. Form A: a single, normally open contact that closes upon actuation. Form B: same as A, except in reverse. A normally closed contact that opens. Form C: A form A contact connected to a form B. The Form C contact has three wires, NO (normally open), NC (normally closed) and C (common). Upon actuation, the NO contact closes (continuity from NO-C) and the NC contact opens (no continuity from NC-C). It is more common now to see the following designations: Forms A and B can also be referred to as single pole-single throw: SPST-NO = Form A SPST-NC = Form B and Form C can be referred to as single pole-double throw: SPDT = Form C


How do you wire a single phase contactor controlled by a pir in a lighting circuit?

Relatively simple. There are two power contacts, you wire the two wires for the line you want to interrupt or connect to these contacts. this is for the simplest type, SPST, one set of contacts to switch a power line on when the control signal is on. There are more complicated contactors with multiple sets of contacts. There are two connections for the control circuit which are typically low voltage AC or DC. Connect these to the control signal, ie, the signal you will use to turn the contactor on or off.

What are the uses of spst and spdt switches?

A SPST switch is the type used for turning the lights on and off in your home lighting systems. It is just basically just an on - off switch.


What else is a single pole switch known by?

This is the typical light switch in your home that controls a single light from a single location. Sometimes you might see it described as SPST or single pole single throw.


A SPST switch is an example of what circuit?

What does spst stand for?

SPST stands for Single-Pole, Single-Throw, and is a designation for the switch contact arrangement that has just two terminals. As the switch is thrown, these two terminals will be either open or closed depending on the position of the handle.

What is a SPST?

It is a single contact that can be either on or off. It has just two connections. The typical household light switch is a good example. SPST stands for Single Pole - Single Throw Single Pole = one contact Single Throw = on/off (as opposed to on/off/on, slow/fast/off, etc.)

Where is S.P.D.T. used?

In electronics, SPDT refers to a particular type of switch; a "Single Pole Double Throw" style. Other flavors I think you may recognize now are SPST, DPDT, and TPDT. It breaks down like this; the "Pole" count (single, double, triple, etc.) refers to the number of switch contact sets that are connected to the switch lever. The "Throw" count refers to the number of positions the switch lever is designed to be set to. Light switches in your house are SPST switches.
