  • The Study on the Design of Low Voltage AC Contactor in the Electrical System and the Control Applications
    4th International Conference on Mechatronics, Materials, Chemistry and Computer Engineering (ICMMCCE 2015) The Study on the Design of Low voltage AC Contactor in the Electrical System and the Control Applications Bao-ying Wang1,a 1Chongqing College of Electronic Engineering, Chongqing, 401331, China [email protected] Keywords: Electrical system; Low voltage AC contactor; Control; Design Abstract. The contactor is a kind of main circuit used to frequent connected and cut off and the large capacity control electronics, due to the AC and DC main circuit quickly cut off, and it can frequent switch the large current control circuit, so often be used to control motor, still can be used for machine tools, factory equipment and other electric power load control. Low voltage AC contactor is mainly used for on-off power electric equipment, can remote control the power devices, power on and off equipment to avoid personal injury. The low voltage AC contactor is mainly used for on-off power electric equipment, can remote control the power device, when the on and off equipment the power supply to avoid personal injury. The selection of AC contactor for the normal operation of the power equipment and power lines is Very important. This article puts forward the electrical design process when choosing low voltage AC contactor need to consider the main factors. Introduction The contactor can not only control of the circuit to connect and breaking also has the effect of release and protection. Contactor's main contact concatenated in the load circuit, used to load the large current in the circuit connected and breaking, after the contactor coil for electricity excitation, the smaller the excitation current can produce enough to touch the armature magnetic suction, drive the movable contact movement to perform the function of on and off.

  • Motor Control Part 1 the Basics of Protection and Control
    361.pdf A SunCam online continuing education course Motor Control Part 1 The Basics of Protection and Control by Brian Hinkle, PE 361.pdf Motor Starters – Protection and Control – The Basics A SunCam online continuing education course Introduction Electric motors were invented in the 19th century and played a major role in the 2nd industrial revolution. They have been used to drive all types of equipment in both residential and industrial applications. They can be found in residential and commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, process industries and many other applications. Understanding the basics of electrical motors and motor starters has value for many engineering and architectural disciplines. This course is intended to teach: 1. Basics of AC induction motors 2. The purpose and function of a motor starter 3. Components of motor starter power circuits 4. Basics of motor control Motors can be divided into two major types - AC and DC. AC motors can be classified as synchronous and asynchronous. Asynchronous AC induction motors are the most common type of motor. This training will focus on starting low voltage (<1000 VAC), three-phase asynchronous motors. A few notes about agencies and organizations involved in the design and use of electrical equipment which are mentioned in the training: NEMA is the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. NEMA establishes standards for the operating performance, characteristics, construction and testing to ensure standardization of electrical equipment. IEC is the International Electrotechnical Commission which is an international organization which publishes standards for electrical equipment. The National Electric Code (NEC) is one of the codes published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

  • Introduction Contactor Components
    Introduction A contactor is an electrical device which is used for switching an electrical circuit on or off. It is considered to be a special type of relay. However, the basic difference between the relay and contactor is that the contactor is used in applications with higher current carrying capacity, whereas the relay is used for lower current applications. Contactors can be field mounted easily and are compact in size. Generally, these electrical devices feature multiple contacts. These contacts are in most cases normally open and provide operating power to the load when the contactor coil is energized. Contactors are most commonly used for controlling electric motors. There are various types of contactors, and each type has its own set of features, capabilities, and applications. Contactors can break current over a wide range of currents, from a few amperes to thousands of amperes, and voltages from 24 VDC to thousands of volts. In addition, these electrical devices come in varying sizes, from hand-held dimensions to sizes measuring a meter or yard on one side (approximately). The most common application area of the contactor is high-current load. Contactors are known for their capability to handle currents of over 5000 amperes and high power over 100 kW. Heavy motor currents produce arcs when being interrupted. These arcs can be reduced and controlled using a contactor. Contactor Components The following three are crucial components of the contactor: 1. Coil or Electromagnet: This is the most crucial component of a contactor. The driving force that is required to close the contacts is provided by the coil or electromagnet of the contactor.
