Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
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.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Identify how the circuit would operate.
Explanation of Solution
In the given circuit, the auxiliary contact M is connected in parallel to the start button. The operation of the circuit after disconnecting the auxiliary contact M will be as follows:
- When the start button is pressed, the coil gets energized and the circuit is closed.
- After the start button is released, there is no closed circuit, and this leads to an open circuit.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 42–21. Assume that a fused jumper is connected across terminals 1 and 3 of TR2 timer. What would happen if the jumper were left in place and the FIRST SPEED push button pressed? The motor would start in its lowest speed and progress to second speed, but never increase to third speed. The motor would start operating immediately in third speed. The motor would not start. The motor would start in second speed and then increase to third speed.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_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 109. In this circuit the jog push button has again been connected incorrectly. The normally closed section of the button has been connected in series with the normally open run push button and the normally open section of the jog button is connecting in parallel with the holding contacts. Explain how this circuit operates.arrow_forward
