Explore essential motor control components, auxiliary relays and contactors, normally open/closed contacts, and changeover wiring, and learn how energizing a coil changes contact states and how schematics depict these elements.
Explore auxiliary relay simulation, energizing the coil to toggle normally closed and normally open contacts, observe push button operation, and understand no-latching behavior and schematic conventions.
Explore normally open and normally closed contacts, and differentiate break before make from make before break in relays. Learn how coil energization shifts contact states with overlapping or transitional timing.
Compare early make and late break auxiliary contacts with normally open and normally closed contacts, highlighting make before break and break before make timings during energizing and release.
Explore how contactors differ from auxiliary relays, with power contacts carrying loads and auxiliary contacts for signaling, defined by coil energization and the three-phase terminals.
Explore a contactor simulation by energizing the coil with a push button to see normally open and normally closed contacts, including terminals 1–6 and 11–14, operate together.
Explore on delay and off delay timers, their symbols, energize-induced contact changes, normally open and normally closed contacts, and behavior in circuit simulations.
Explore how miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) protect against short circuits and thermal overload, with gang and non-gang operation across single, two, and three-pole configurations.
Understand ceiling contact, circuit, and sealing circuit concepts by demonstrating a push button energizing a coil, using sealing and latching contacts to hold power, and adding off control to reset.
Demonstrate a simple motor start-stop circuit using a sealing (latching) contact to hold the coil energized, with an off control to reset by breaking the seal.
Dear All,
Welcome to the course of understanding schematics of "Motor Control Circuits". This course covers from very basic concept of drawings / schematics. Training start with explaining the devices used in schematics, auxiliary relay, contactor, timer, etc. It is ensured that anyone with minimum to no experience in schematics learning can learn and master the skill.
