prime a mover, another

As the
genes rotates,
fluild is drawn in from the reservoir due to reduced
pressure.
When years come together, the third is pushed out through the outlet port with a
positive
seal to prevent leaks. The allows continuous flow of said.

Q 3 a)
Q 3 b)
Explain the operating procedure of the electrical control system.

1. When the Switch 1 (SW1) is closed, solenoid A will be energized, causing cylinder 1 to
extend.
2. When the cylinder 1 extends, it will be in contact with the limit switch 1 (1-LS), actuating
the 1-LS in the circuit to close.
3. When 1-LS is actuated by the piston rod cam to be closed, this will close the upper circuit
and energize the coil of contact relay 1 (1-CR), which close and open both sets of
contacts of 1-CR
4. Thus, the upper normally closed 1-CR set of contacts will be open, opening the upper
circuit and de-energizing solenoid A which will cause the cylinder 1 to retract.
5. While the lower normally open 1-CR set of contacts will be closed, it will serve to keep
coil 1-CR to be energized even though the LS-1 is open in the lower circuit due to
cylinder 1 retracting.
6. Besides energizing the coil 1-CR, solenoid B will be energized at the same time in the
lower circuit, this allows cylinder 2 to extend while cylinder 1 retract.
7. When the cylinder 2 extends, it will be in contact with the limit switch 2 (2-LS), actuating
the 2-LS to be opened in the circuit.
8. When 2-LS is actuated by the piston rod cam to be opened, this will open the lower
circuit and de-energizing the coil 1-CR and solenoid B, causing cylinder 2 to be
retracting.
9. When the coil 1-CR is de-energized, the upper normally closed 1-CR set of contacts will
be closed, closing the upper circuit and energizing solenoid A again if the SW1 is still
closed.
10. The cycle from step 1 to step 9 will repeat itself until the SW1 is opened.
