Textbook Question
Chapter 48, Problem 1SQ
In Figure 48–2, what is the purpose of normally closed contact F?
Expert Solution & Answer

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.

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.
