9. Two circuits that employ a control relay to provide jogging are shown in the accompanying figure. In both these
circuits the control relay provides the ____________________ contacts, not the M starter.
ANSWER: auxiliary holding
POINTS: 1

10. Inching control requires the use of a separate ____________________ because the power supplied to the motor must
be separate from full line voltage.
ANSWER: contactor
POINTS: 1
REFERENCES: Inching Controls

11. What is the difference between jogging and inching?

ANSWER: The term jogging means to start a motor with short jabs of power at full voltage. The term inching means
to start a motor with short jabs of power at reduced voltage.

12. For a START-STOP push button control circuit that has been reconnected so that the START button is in parallel with
both the STOP button and holding contact, how do you jog and run the motor?
ANSWER: To jog the motor, simply hold down the STOP button and jog the circuit by pressing the START button.
To run the motor, release the STOP button and press the START button.

13. What is a hazard of push buttons?

ANSWER: Because push buttons employ a spring to return the contact to their normal position, if a person’s finger
slips off the jog button, it is possible for the spring to reestablish connection with the normally closed
contacts before the holding contact has time to reopen. This would cause the motor to continue running
instead of stopping. In some cases, this could become a significant safety hazard.

14. The accompanying figure shows a jogging circuit for a forward-reverse control. What are normally closed F and R
auxiliary contacts used for?
ANSWER: Normally closed F and R auxiliary contacts are used to provide interlocking for the forward-reverse
control.
POINTS: 1
REFERENCES: Introduction

15. How can you reduce the amount of voltage applied to the motor during inching?
ANSWER: Transformers can be used to reduce the amount of voltage applied to the motor during inching, or
reactors or resistors can be connected in series with the motor to reduce the current supplied by the
power line.
