766 GUIDE FOR SELECTION OF FUSES AND WIRES relay is essentially a small ferromagnetic cantilevered beam that bends to make contact under’ the force of a magnetic field. The control and reed relays are extensively uséd as switching devices. Time relays: They find use in automatic and programme con- trolled machine tools and for star delta switching of motors. They can be used for switching ON or OFF an electrical circuit after a lapse of time. The types available include pneumatic, electronic and motorized time relays. ‘Signal lamps: Signal lamps can be used as visual indication of functions like supply on, motor running, clamping, etc. Fuses Fuses are used to protect electrical equipment against short circuit. The principle of its function is fusing of easily fusible wire or strip at a current higher than the nominal current of the fuse itself. They are provided at the origin of the circuit to be protected. The characteristics of the fuse and the device to be protected should be suitably matched electrically. Guide for selection of fuses is indicated in Table 340. STARTERS AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS These are units incorporating within themselves contactors and overload protector. They provide safety against no-voltage, under voltage and overload. Assembly of elements Assembly and mounting of electrical elements are carried out with due regard to the factors indicated earlier. A typical installation scheme of the electrical panel inside the control console is shown in Fig. 228. Guide for selection of fuses and wires Table 340 gives the guidelines for selection of fuses and copper conductors for induction motors for machine tools. The motors are tated for 415 V, 3 phase, 50 Hz and are of squirrel cage type suitable for operation at an ambient of 40°C. HRC fuses correspond to IS 2208, BS 88 or VDE 0660 and this selection is based on a maximum starting current of 6 times full load current and a maximum starting time of 5 secs. for direct on line starting and a maximum starting current of twice the full load current and a maximum starting time of 15 secs. for star delta starting. The full load currents indicated in the table are applicable for motors of 1500 rpm. For other valuesGUIDE FOR SELECTION OF FUSES AND WIRES 767 teference should be made to the motor name plate. Motors with higher full load current and/or higher starting current and/or longer starting times as well as motors with higher frequency of operations may require fuses of a higher rating.

Glass cartridge 1 Amp F@ Fuse Fuse Fuse CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS The circuit is for an electrical coil pressing machine. The functioning of the circuit is as follows: 1) Switch on S: to connect power to all equipment. 2) Start motor M1 by pressing push button P2 which ener- gizes contactor K1 and self holds. 3) Select the direction (horizontal, vertical or both) by switch S2 4) Clamp by pressing push-button P6 which energizes sol- enoid valve 9A. The coil is pressed. If a high pressure is desired, press push-button P3. Indi- cator H1 indicates high pressure. (Note that after high pressure is selected, the changing of switch position $2 does not have any effect. This is specifi- cally provided to avoid damage to hydraulic elements) 5) Press P5 to declamp which is accomplished by the sol- enoid valve 9B being kept energized for a specified time selected in pneumatic time delay relay AS. Note: Necessary no-voltage protection and short circuit protection are provided for all elements.
