In order from the source name the 4 comments in a power circuit.

Disconnect, over current, contactors, OLR.

A magnetic motor starter contains which of the two?


(Contactor, OLR, Disconnect switch, fuses, elements or all power circuit components)

Contactors, OLR.

The holding contact in a 3 wire control circuit is located in the?


(Fused disconnect, motor contactor, OLR or start/stop push button enclosure)

Motor contactor.

A 3 wire control circuit requires "blank" remote device conductors.

3

A standard 2 wire control circuit does not provide what type of protection?

Low voltage protection.

The N.C. Contact of an off delay timed relay set at 20 sec will operate how when energized?

Open when the coil is energized and closed 20sec after the coil is de-energized.

A forward reverse magnetic starter requires "blank" 3 pole contactors and "blank" 3 pole OLR's

2 , 1

A start/stop only runs the motor when the push button is held on. What is the problem most likely to be?

The maintain contact.

The rated FLA of an AC induction motor is used for what sizing?

Is used to size the OLR heater elements

Which devices are considered loads in a motor control circuit and therefore must be placed in parallel with each other?

Indicating pilot lamps


Contactor coils


Timed relay coils

NEMA mags have what ratings?

H.P. And voltage rated.

The overload relay contained in a 3 phase mag contains?

3 OL elements and 3 N.C. Contacts.

Which power circuit component provides both start and stop functions?

3 main mag contacts

The 3 fuses or 3 pole circuit breaker in the power circuit of a 3 phase motor provides?

Line to line or line to ground fault conditions.

When changing the voltage of a dual motor, which components must be changed? (Assume the control circuit is fed from the power circuit lines.)

OLR heater elements, contactor coil and fuses.

Control circuit voltage is often fed from the motors starter line voltage then reduced with a control transformer. The primary lines of the transformer should be connected where?

Between the fuses and main contacts.

A magnetic motor starter is only used for 3 phase AC motors?


(T,F)

F

Manual motor starters can be used for motors up to 15 H.P.

F

Motors using manual motor starter do not require over load protection?

F

A combination magnetic motor starter enclosure incorporates a safety disconnect, fuses, magnetic motor contactor, and an overload relay?


T/F

T

A zero speed switch is simply an automatic device that senses rotation just like a limit switch senses travel.

T

"Plugging" refers to a control circuit that ensures a motor shaft is at a slow enough speed to safely reverse its rotational direction.


T/F

F

A 3 phase motor can be quickly decelerated by reversing the rotating magnetic field but only until the rotor stops. The control circuit may use a zero speed switch or timed relay.


T/F

T

The control circuit for an unattended basement sump pump using a float switch should be provided with low voltage protection.


T/F

F

N.C.H.O refers to a time delay relay,
