Auxiliary contactor diagram. 3 phase motor contactoroverload relay starter. Instead it should be rated at 120 volts ac. In this video i show you how to install a contactors wire firstly after that show how you can install a auxiliary contactor on the main contactor. The following diagram depicts 3 phase non reversing motor control with 24 vdc control voltage and manual operation. Some contactors provide an auxiliary output contact as a signal to the isolated part of the circuit that the contactor has been energized. Power poles 3 pole reversing contactor set.
Contacts 4 pole control relay with 3 no. Power poles 4 pole contactor with 2 no2 nc. Contacts 4 pole control relay with 2 no. Those that are closed in the non activated state or those that are open. This auxiliary contact will not be rated at the higher voltage. Check for an auxiliary output contact.
The common elements in the wiring diagram are ground energy wire and connection output devices switches resistors logic gate lights etc. We survey the auxiliary contact like normally. There are two basic auxiliary contact types. 4 pole control relay with 4 no. How to read wiring diagram. We will use a contactor an auxiliary contact block an overload relay a normally open start pushbutton a normally closed stop pushbutton and a power supply with a fuse.
To read a wiring diagram first you must know what fundamental elements are included in the wiring diagram and which pictorial symbols are utilized to represent them. For example the contactor may transmit power to the motor while the auxiliary contact is in the control circuit of the motor starter and commonly used to turn on a pilot light indicating the motor is operating.
