Power Circuit –connectoin with motor using contactor Control Circuit-using switch make a holding circuit
A contactor is a large relay, usually used to switch current to an electric motor or another high- power load. Large electric motors can be protected from over current damage through the use of overload heaters and overload contacts
Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. As Relay diagrams show, when a Relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open contact when the Relay is not energized
NO (Normally Open ) Switch NC (Normally Close) Switch Fuse Isolator Overload unit Contactor Wires Motor
Full voltage is applied to the motor at the time of starting The starting current is 5-6 times the full load current The three winding are connected generally in star Low cost, very easy operation and less space required for installation Use for motor up to 5 HP East to connect motor with DOL
High starting current High starting torque Very high mechanical load
