A blowout coil connected in series with contactor's auxiliary contacts that shunt around the main contactor contacts. The coil is out of the circuit when the main contactor contacts are closed and in the circuit when the main contactor contacts are open.

What is function of pressure coil in a watt meter?

A 'pressure coil' is an archaic term for a 'voltage coil' (UK terminology) or 'potential coil' (US terminology), as opposed to the 'current coil' in a wattmeter. This coil is connected in parallel with the supply, while the current coil is connected in series with the load.


How current coil is connected in energy meter?

It's connected in series with the load.


What is the difference between current coil and voltage coil?

These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.


What happens to the coil of wire when someone presses the switch?

If the coil is connected to a circuit and the switch is closed then, provided there is a power source, the coil will become energized.


For what purpose do you short circuit the main and common terminal in a wattmeter?

A wattmeter has two coils: a current coil, which must be connected in series with a load, and a voltage coil, which must be connected in parallel with the supply voltage. Accordingly, a wattmeter has four terminals: two for each coil. One terminal of each coil needs to be connected to the line (as opposed to neutral) conductor and, so, these terminals are connected together. Having said that, this is not absolutely necessary, and the two coils can be connected quite separately. Basically, how the two coils are connected comes down to the configuration of the load whose power is being measured.

How is a shunt coil installed?

'Shunt' is an archaic term, meaning 'in parallel with'. So a 'shunt coil' is connected 'in parallel' with... With what, of course, depends upon what sort of device you are talking about. For example the field coil of a d.c. shunt-connected motor has its field winding connected in parallel ('shunt') with the supply.

How wattmeter is connected in circuit?

A wattmeter has two coils: a current coil and a voltage coil. The current coil is connected in series with the load, while the voltage coil is connected in parallel with the load (just in the same way an ammeter and a voltmeter are connected). The wattmeter's polarity markings must be observed while making these connections -if the wattmeter reads 'downscale' (backwards), then the connection to either one (but not both) of the coils must be reversed.

Which of the coil of the wattmeter has high resistance?

The voltage (or 'potential') coil has the higher resistance, because it is connected in parallel with the load.


How the current and pressure coils of the wattmeer are connected in circuit to measure the power drawn by load?

The current coil is connected in series with the load. The voltage coil (the term, 'pressure coil' is rather archaic!) is connected in parallel with the load. The wattmeter's polarity markings must be taken into account, or the meter will read downscale (backwards).

How do you connect a diode across a ac coil?

You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.
