Concept explainers
Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 27–2. Would it be possible to replace the hand-off-auto switch in this circuit with a hand-off-auto switch that contained a common terminal and center Off position like the HOA switch shown in Figure 27–1? Explain your answer.
Whether it is possible to replace the hand off auto switch in the circuit with the hand off auto switch that contains the common terminal and center off position like the HOA switch shown in the Figure 27-1.
Explanation of Solution
Refer to the Figure 27-1
Consider that the motor is controlled by the hand off automatic switch. In case the position of the contact is at the center off then the motor stops to work.
Refer to the Figure 27-2
Consider both the switch contains the hand off and the automatic switch to control the fan that pulls the air through the building. In that case the switch is same as of Figure 27-1
As both the switch has Hand off and the automatic position the switch contains the two sets of the contacts one is 1-2 and the other is 3-4. In case the set is in hand position then the connection is made in between the contacts terminal 1 and 2 and in case the set is in automatic position the connection is made between the 3-4 terminals and when the set is off no connection is made in between the terminals.

- Refer to Figure 211 to answer the following questions. Referring to switch (RS SW 123), in what position must the switch be set to make connection between terminals 3 and 4?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 310. When would the amber pilot light be turned on? a. When the manual/automatic switch is set in themanual position. b. When the float switch contacts are closed. c. Anytime the manual starter is turned on. d. Only when the manual/automatic switch is setin the manual position.arrow_forwardAn 11-pin control relay contains three sets of single-pole double throw contacts. List the pin numbers by pairs that can be used as normally open contacts.arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 5-29. In this circuit, the HR contactor is equipped with five contacts. Three are load contacts and two are auxiliary contacts. From looking at the schematic diagram, how is it possible to identify which contacts are the load contacts and which are the auxiliary contacts? Figure 5-29 The contactor contains both load and auxiliary contacts.arrow_forwardReferring to the circuit in Figure 2–33, should the float switch be connected as a normally open or normally closed switch?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forward
- To answer the following questions refer to the circuit in Figure 416. What is the purpose of the rotary switch connected after the pressure switch?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 25–5. Assume that timer TR1 is set for a delay of 10 seconds and timer TR2 is set for a delay of 5 seconds. When the START button is pressed, the motor starts. After 10 seconds the S1 contacts open and the motor continues to accelerate, but never reaches full speed. After a delay of about 30 seconds, the motor trips out on overload. Which of the following could cause this problem? TR1 coil is open. S2 coil is open. S1 coil is open. R coil is open.arrow_forwardWhat pin numbers are connected to the coil of an 8-pin control relay?arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 7-10. If wire number 11 were disconnected at the normally open auxiliary M contact, how would the circuit operate? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 4221. Assume that the THIRD SPEED push button is pressed. The motor starts in second speed, skipping first speed. After 5 seconds, the motor accelerates to third speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. S1 contactor coil is open. b. CR1 contactor coil is open. c. TRl timer coil is open. d. S1 load contacts are shorted.arrow_forward
