Chapter 48, Problem 1SQ

In Figure 48–2, what is the purpose of normally closed contact F?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain the scope of normally closed (NC) contact (F) in Figure 48-2.

Explanation of Solution

Refer to Figure 48-2 in the textbook shows that plugging the motor to stop from one direction only. In this figure, the normally closed (NC) contact F is mentioned as an interlock.

In Figure 48-2, while the stop button is pressed, the forward contactor will drop out and the coil (F) is a de-energized normally closed (NC) contact F. This contact in turn, energizes coil (R) to operate the motor in the reverse direction through the closed plugging switch.

Conclusion:

Thus, the scope of normally closed (NC) contact (F) in the given figure is explained.

The following circuit is at steady state for t<0. At t=0 sec, the switch is open. Let R₁ =14 ohms, R₂=14 ohms, R3-4 ohms, C₁-1 F, Vx-16 V and Ix-7 A. Find Vc1 (0.8 sec) and voltage across resistor R3 = v(1.4 sec), as follows: Vc1(0) in volts= Vc1(00) in volts= Rth in ohms= Vc1(t-0.8 sec) in volts= v(t-1.4 sec) in volts= Vx w t=0 The relative tolerance for this problem is 10 %. + www R₂ Vit R3 + Vc1(t) C₁

You must have noticed that, when a major appliance is turned on (such as an AC unit, garbage disposal, etc.), your house lights dim momentarily. This is the effect of the RL circuit formed by the inductance and resistance of the transmission line and the loads (light bulbs, appliance, etc.) In fact, even a single straight wire has inductance. The inductance (and the resistance) of a long transmission line can be problematic if the system is not properly designed. The voltage on a power transmission line is alternating current but the effect of transmission line can be simulated by a DC circuit as shown below, where R=0.005 2 /km and L=0.04 H/km representing the resistance and inductance of the transmission line per km relationship that is with the ration: L-8 R. In the circuit, Right =160 represents light bulb resistances, R₁ = 7 represents the resistance of a 'major appliance', and the switch indicates when the appliance is turn on. Alice, a newly hired engineer, needs to determine…
