- State the physical differences between a run and a start capacitor.arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forward
- Refer to the schematic in Figure 7-10. Assume that when the START button is pressed, the control transformer fuse blows. What is the most likely cause of this trouble? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forward5 position and 2-way type of ports DCV could be used in the double acting actuator circuit. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardSelect the proper choice(s) for each of the following statements: 1) To control single-acting cylinder we just need: double-acting cylinder we should use A2/2-way, 5/2-way, (C) 3/3-way, 3/4-way, 2) In DCV. (B) 3/2-way, 4/2-way, (D) 4/3-way, 3/2-way. mid poistion of DCV, we can move cylinder piston rod freely without resistance by hand. (A) working ports are exhausted, (C) working ports are pressurized, 3) In pneumatics we use A Compressor (B) Pump, DCV, while to control the 4) Quick exhaust valve is used to (A) increase the cylinder return speed. (C) meter-out the cylinder speed (B) all ports are closed. no one of these options. to obtain high pressure air. (C) Turbine, (D) pressure relief valve.
