LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION

• THIS TERM MEANS THAT THE MOTOR WILL STOP WHEN THERE IS A VOLTAGE FAILURE, AND THE MOTOR
WILL NOT START AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS RESTORED.
DEVELOPING A CONTROL CIRCUIT
• IT IS MOSTLY DESIGNED BY ELECTRICAL DESIGNERS AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
• SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM IS GENERALLY USED WHEN DESIGNING A CIRCUIT
• WHEN ELECTRICIAN OBTAINS THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM, HE MUST TRANSPOSE THE CIRCUIT INTO A
WIRING DIAGRAM
• CONTROL CIRCUITS SHOULD BE DESIGNED CAREFULLY AND METHODICALLY
• PHYSICAL LAYOUT OF THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS SHOULD BE PREPARED
• MUST UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION OF EACH PART OF THE CIRCUIT
• FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT OR THE MACHINE
• COMMENCE THE CONTROL CIRCUIT WITH THE INITIATING DEVICE
• WHEN THE CIRCUIT DOES NOT PERFORM THE CORRECT SEQUENCE OF OPERATION REQUIRED, DO NOT
PROCEED. LOCATE ALL THE ERROR BEFORE CONTINUING
KEEP IN MIND:
• CONTACT OPEN OR CLOSE TO DEENERGIZE OR ENERGIZE COILS
• COILS ARE ENERGIZED OR DEENERGIZED TO OPEN OR CLOSE CONTACTS
MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUITS

1. HAND-OFF-AUTO CONTROL CIRCUIT

- THE HOA CONTROL CIRCUIT USES THREE-POSITION SELECTOR SWITCH(MANUAL, OFF, AND AUTO)
2. INDICATING PILOT LIGHT CIRCUIT
- LAMP 1 WILL INDICATE WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING AND LAMP 2 INDICATE WHEN THE MOTOR
IS NOT RUNNING
3. JOGGING
- IS AN OPERATION IN WHICH THE MOTOR RUNS WHEN A PUSH BUTTON IS PRESSED AND WILL
STOP WHEN A PUSH BUTTON IS RELEASED
REVERSING DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF A
THREE-PHASE MOTOR

• TO REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF A THREE-PHASE MOTOR, SIMPLY INTERCHANGE ANY TWO PHASE
CONDUCTORS AT THE MOTOR OR THE MOTOR STARTER
• IF THE REVERSING OF THE MOTOR IS A REQUIRED OPERATION OF THE MACHINE, THEN REVERSING MOTOR
STARTER ARE AVAILABLE
 MANUAL THREE-PHASE REVERSING MOTOR
STARTERS
• CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN SELECTING A MANUAL REVERSING MOTOR STARTER.
• IF REMOTE CONTROL IS REQUIRED, A MANUAL REVERSING MOTOR STARTER IS NOT PRACTICAL
• FULL VOLTAGE - THE CONTACTORS SIMPLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE MOTOR POWER CIRCUIT
• REVERSING – THE MOTOR CAN BE REVERSED USING FORWARD AND REVERSE MOTOR CONTACTORS
•
REVERSING MAGNETIC STARTER
NO VOLTAGE RELEASE, NO VOLTAGE PROTECTION , AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND REMOTE CONTROL ARE ALL
FEATURES AVAILABLE
• ONE SET OF OVERLOAD DEVICE IS REQUIRED IN A REVERSING MAGNETIC MOTOR STARTER.
REVERSING SINGLE-PHASE MOTORS

• WHEN REVERSING, A SPLIT-PHASE MOTOR OR A SINGLE VOLTAGE CAPACITOR-START MOTOR, THE

DIRECTION OF ROTATION IS REVERSE BY INTERCHANGING THE STARTING WINDING LEADS OR THE
RUNNING WINDING LEADS
INSTANTANEOUS CURRENT FLOW

• UNLIKE DC CIRCUITS, IN WHICH THE DIRECTION OF THE CURRENT FLOW CAN BE ESTABLISHED, AC
CURRENT FLOW ALTERNATES.
