Decisions, and Actions
In the following application, a temperature switch controls a heating contactor and a flow switch is used to
ensure there is enough air flow. If there is not enough air flow, an alarm is sounded. Complete the required
information.
1. List all the signal devices in the circuit.
2. List all the action devices in the circuit.
3. List the decision part of the circuit that automatically sounds the alarm if there is a problem.
4. When the heating element is on during normal operation, is the flow switch open or closed?

- What two types of switches are normally found in the subbase of a low-voltage thermostat?arrow_forwardA pressure switch is to be installed in a circuit that requires it to have three normally open contacts and one normally closed contact. The switch actually has one normally open Contact What must be done to permit this pressure switch to operate in this circuit?arrow_forwardThree common controls used in central electric heat applications are thermostats, contactors (or relays), and A. capacitors. B. sequencers. C. cool anticipators.arrow_forward
- Why are the contacts of a micro switch spring loaded?arrow_forwardA three-phase motor nameplate indicates a full load current of 362 amperes. The nameplate indicates that the heaters are to be sized for 125% of motor full load current. Current transformers with a ratio of 600:5 are used to reduce the motor current. Using the chart shown in Figure 4–7B, determine the size of overload heaters needed to protect this motor.arrow_forwardWhat is a normally dosed switch?arrow_forward
- Power-consuming devices are wired in _____(series orparallel).arrow_forwardWhat type of pressure switch is generally used to sense small changes in low pressure systems?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 5-29.
