How motor can control using timer contactor?
Control means, a timer cant control is speed directly, it can control its operation. A times will have NO nd NC contacts. Connect the motor in series with the timer contacts wrt desired operation
Does a star delta timer rely on the breaking of the retaining contacts on the star contactor side?
The N.C. (timed open) contacts in the star delta timer energize the star contactor's coil when the system is energized. At the same instant the system is energized, the timer starts to time down the required time which lets the motor get up to speed in the star configuration. When the timer reaches the set point time, a second set of N.O. (timed closed) contacts close the delta contactor's coil and open the N.C. timed contacts of star contactor's coil. The motor now runs in the delta configuration. When the system is de energized the timer contact's reset to its de energized state.
What is the purpose of a timer wired into the compressor contactor control circuit on a refrigeration system?
A defrost control typically.
What is the difference between main contactor and axualiary contactor?
The load contactor is what the motor load is usually connected to. The auxiliary contacts are usually used in the stop start remote wiring to seal the mag in. Auxiliary contacts are also used to transmit the status of the contactor to a PLC.
How many wires to control a mechanically held contactor?
A contactor is a type of switch. However this switch uses electricity to power an electromagnetic coil to switch on or off power. Hence a contactor needs 2 wires - A live/hot wire and a neutral wire. Generally these are connected across the A1 and A2 terminals of the contactor.
