How do you wire contactor for two light circuits through a time clock?

How do you wire a time clock with a contactor with a override switch


How do you wire a compressor switch?

Take a wire from one of the line terminals L1 to one side of the contactor coil. Take another wire from the second line terminal L2 and put it to one side of a N.C. contact on the overload block. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the O/L block take a wire to the N.C. terminal on the pressure switch. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the pressure switch terminal connect the wire to the other side of the coil. This configuration will be using the same coil voltage on the contactor as that of the supply voltage.


How do you activate 240v coil using a 240v contactor?

The coil can be operated by taking one leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connecting it to one terminal of the coil. Take the other leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connect it to the device used to turn the contactor off and on. From this switching device take the switched wire and connect it to the other terminal on the contactor's coil. Now when the switching device is activated the contactor will open and close.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How do you wire a DOL starter controlled by a pressure switch for a water pump?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The wiring of this type of installation is quite elementary. It is all about the control voltage for the magnetic contactor and having the pressure switch in series with the contactor's coil.If the pump supply voltage is 120 volts, take a wire from L1 on the contactor and place it on the normally closed contact point on the overload block.From the N.C. contact on the overload block take a wire to one side of the pressure switch.From the output side of the pressure switch contact take the wire back to one side of the contactor's coil.Connect the other side of the contactor's coil to the neutral wire from the supply.Now you will have three components in series with each other. The overload block, the pressure switch and the contactor's coil as the load of the circuit. When the pressure switch closes due to low pressure the coil will be energized.If the pump motor goes into an overload condition, the overload block contacts will open and de-energize the contactor's coil and the pump will shut off.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you replace a 50 amp contactor with a 40 amp contactor?

Replacing a 50 amp contactor with a 40 amp contactor is not advisable, as the 40 amp contactor may not be able to handle the load safely. This could lead to overheating, failure of the contactor, or potential damage to the connected equipment. It's essential to match the contactor's rating to the load requirements for safe and reliable operation. Always consult with a qualified electrician for such replacements.

How do you wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil?

To wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil, you need to connect the 110 volt power supply to one terminal of the coil and the neutral wire to the other terminal of the coil. Ensure that the contactor is rated for use with a 110 volt control circuit. Additionally, verify the wiring diagram provided with the contactor for proper connection details.


What does a 4 pole contactor do?

It makes and breaks four separate contacts. Think of a switch for example that connects one wire to one wire. A 4 pole contactor is like 4 separate switches going on together.


How do you wire a relay to a motor contactor?

One way is to use the auxiliary contacts on the motor contactor to close a separate source supply to drive an auxiliary relay.


How many wires to control a mechanically held contactor?

A contactor is a type of switch. However this switch uses electricity to power an electromagnetic coil to switch on or off power. Hence a contactor needs 2 wires - A live/hot wire and a neutral wire. Generally these are connected across the A1 and A2 terminals of the contactor.

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.


How do you connect float switches for a single phase motor through contactor and Over Load Relay?

you would wire a float switch into the control circuit i.e, the contactor coil (which is relatively low current but rated at least for the control voltage,, in most cases 120VAC). also in the same circuit would be the overload contacts. if the overload trips and/or the float switch opens then voltage is removed from the contactor coil


How does magnetic contactor operate?

What is the difference between an definite purpose contactor and a lighting sontactor?

A definite purpose contactor is designed (and rated) for a specific load. So a lighting contactor is one example of a definite purpose contactor. A motor starter contactor is another example. So, a lighting contactor is a definite purpose contactor, but a definite purpose contactor is not necessarily a lighting contactor (it might be a motor starter, for instance).


Why is the compressor contactor not sticking in?

A contactor not being energized or closed can be caused by a host of reasons . A shorted or open contactor coil. No control voltage or incorrect voltage present to energize the contactor coil , A safety device opening or breaking the control circuit . A loose or broken control devise or control wire . and possibly more , depending on your a/c units control wiring configuration. Tom H, HVAC proffesional. New Orleans .
