A specialized segment of the electrical construction and maintenance industry, AC motor control is an area that requires specific knowledge in order to troubleshoot motors effectively and ensure ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

The proper selection of 3-phase solid state relays for motor control application depends not only upon a comprehensive understanding of 3-phase SSRs, but also of the 3-phase power system and typical ...

A single-coil latching relay is a relay with memory, usually with a magnetic structure that provides two stable positions for the armature that holds the movable contacts. A permanent magnet provides ...

Higher Capabilities for Safety-Rated Control Circuits A truly reliable safety control system must work even when some parts fail. Force-guided relays are unseen components that add another level of ...

Safety is a major concern in a good many motor-driven applications. This is true in industrial applications where motion starts when power is applied and especially true when power is restored after ...

Output devices such as motors, solenoids, bulbs, buzzers, relays, LEDs, and 7-segment displays are used in many electronic circuits. Circuit diagrams illustrate how these devices are connected and ...
