CONTACTORS
it is an electromechanical devices that switches a power circuit
thereby opens or closes when current is passed through it. The
contactor is made up of The fixed and moveable parts, the
Contactor coil, the power contacts and the auxiliary contacts.
The contactor coil carries the current as the magnetic field
makes the moveable part move them. The power and auxiliary
contacts can then switch all together. The power contact is
usually three used to power the electrical load with higher
current. The auxiliary contacts can be up to eight and are used
to control other components like the level switches and
signalling light.
CONTACTOR DIAGRAM
The contactor coils are marked A1 and A2, the three power
contacts are marked T1, T2 and T3 while the auxiliary contacts
are marked 13, 14, 23, 24, 33, 44, 51, 52, 61, 62, 71, and 72 as
those with last numbers as 1 and 2 are normally closed and
ones with ending 3 and 4 are normally open.
Control switching devices These are the switches used in
controlling the system automatically, thereby making it to be
open or closed. These are the push button switch and the two
level switches.
L1 Live line 1
L2 Live line 2
L3 Live line 3
N Neutral line
F1 Main fuse
K1 Contactors
LIMITATIONS
The system cannot be working if there is no electric power
supply and even if there is, Since the system needs a 3-phase
to power the electric motor, if there may be one of the phases
disconnected or open circuited it will result in a rapidly
destructive condition known as single phasing as the motor will
experience enough amount of voltage drops, then it will start
malfunctioning.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
As the world is going on globalization and with the help of the
new technology, i must say that one should follow the new
trend as to make life easy and worth living and so i recommend
it for every industry, homes, universities and hospitals.
