Analysis of Diode
It is a semiconductor device in electronics applications where only a one-way current is required. It is like a one-way switch that allows current to flow in one direction only. A diode has two terminals, a cathode, and an anode. The cathode is the negat…
Working and Construction
In civil engineering, construction means the application of principles of science and mathematics for building bridges, dams, buildings, roads, highways, tunnels, airports, structures, etc. Different branches of science, like physics and chemistry, are e…
Property of Diode
An electronic component that facilitates the directional flow of current is known as a diode. According to the direction of the flow of current, the resistance of a diode changes from zero to Infinity.

Chapter 48, Problem 1SQ

In Figure 48–2, what is the purpose of normally closed contact F?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain the scope of normally closed (NC) contact (F) in Figure 48-2.

Explanation of Solution

Refer to Figure 48-2 in the textbook shows that plugging the motor to stop from one direction only. In this figure, the normally closed (NC) contact F is mentioned as an interlock.

In Figure 48-2, while the stop button is pressed, the forward contactor will drop out and the coil (F) is a de-energized normally closed (NC) contact F. This contact in turn, energizes coil (R) to operate the motor in the reverse direction through the closed plugging switch.

Conclusion:

Thus, the scope of normally closed (NC) contact (F) in the given figure is explained.
