Is the circuit wiring between the motor starter in a motor control center going to the equipment disconnect with a circuit breaker in it a feeder or a branch circuit?

The terminology for a feeder is any wire that is coming into a device (it feeds the device with power). A feeder will be the wire coming into the disconnect and also the wires going into the motor will be called feeders. Even the wires coming into the MCC will be termed feeders. Branch circuits are circuits that usually originates at the main distribution and spread outward to their respective loads. Branch circuit terminology encompasses all of the equipment in the circuit that is connected from the overload device to the field load device.


Why you use cartridge fuse in control circuit of motor?

It is proper "control sense" to fuse the control circuit. It does not have to be just a cartridge fuse, in many cases it is a breaker. Depending on where the control voltage is obtained from, transformer from the incoming motor feed, separate source, or line voltage, there is always a chance that a component of the control circuit could fail, circuit protection would lessen the damage to other equipment in the control circuit. The fuse should be sized as close to the control current as possible.

If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?

In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.

Why is a motor needed in a circiut?

A motor is not needed in a circuit, a motor is an electrical load for the current to drive, but the circuit can perform with other types of load - such as a lamp, a transformer, a heating coil, or any electronic load. if you mean 'why does an electric motor need a circuit?' this is because the motor is an electrical device which has coils of wire to produce a magnetic field, without the circuit it cannot function.


Why current is supplied to DC motor?

What supplies a dc motor is not current, but voltage. Current is what flows in the circuit formed by the dc motor and for the charge. That current varies according to the resistance of the circuit.
