voltage, current, resistance, horsepower, contacts, overloads, coil, terminations, NEMA, IEC, NFPA 70 NEC, motor controls, NFPA70E . . .

A contactor is a double make/break per phase switch that opens and closes the circuit to the motor by energizing a coil (electro-magnet) using a motor control circuit (usually, but not always a lower voltage than the motor circuit). The motor control circuit goes through a normally closed set of contacts that will open if the overloads that are in series with the motor circuit sense too much current going to the motor.

Which relay is used to control 3 phase induction motor?

Overloads for motors are sized from the full load amperage that is taken from the motors nameplate. Depending on who the manufacturer of the motor contactor is will govern the sizing of the relay. Some contactors use bolt in heaters and others use a separate unit that connects to the contactor. No matter what method is used make sure to use the manufactures recommended overloads that are based in the motors FLA.

How relay is used to control induction motor?

If you want to control induction motor using a control relay give neutral directly to the one point of coil of relay & one point of coil of contactor then give control supply through push button to second point of coil of relay. use one NO point of relay and give supply to coil of contactor. and also use one NO of contactor for holding the contactor & take OFF (NC) in the starting to stop motor after complition of work. It is jut like an Direct On-line starter.


How do electrical contactors work?

A contactor is an electrically controlled switch (relay) used for switching a power circuit. an electro pneumatic contactor is similar to the above except it uses a pneumatic signal to initiate the switching of the electric power circuit. an electro magnetic contactor is a contactor driven by an electric control signal. It us usually just called a contactor.


What is the definition of induction?

Induction has multiple definitions based on context. In personal and institutional management induction regards the uptake of new personnel. Induction is often used in military, police, and paramilitary nomenclature. In engineering, induction regards the intake of air and fuel into engines and turbines.

Can alternating current be switched using normally open switch relays?

Yes. In fact, induction motor 'starters' work using normally-open relays, controlled by low-current control circuits -although we call these heavy-duty relays 'contactors'.


What does induction means?

The definition of induction is the act of inducing. Induction can also mean the act of bringing about or causing. One more definition of induction can be to establish on the basis of observation.


What is Faraday second law of electromagnetic induction?

Second Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic Induction state that the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of flux linkages (flux linkages is the product of turns, n of the coil and the flux associated with it).
