Chapter 52, Problem 1RQ
In a relay circuit, what function is served by the holding contacts?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The function of the holding contacts in the relay circuit.
Explanation of Solution
The relay swtich are the mechanical devices that are used in conjunction with the electrical protective devices to protect the devices from any kind of fault.
The holding contact in the relay circuit are used to provide the current path to the relay coil as the start button is released.
The holding contact is in parallel with the start and in the same way the stop wire is in series to break the relay circuit and then stop the motor.
Thus, the holding contact are used to provide the closed path.

- Q1: A. One of the researchers discovered a patent related to the development of a certain software module in mobile devices, and when he emailed one of the companies producing these devices, they asked him to send the research to try it on their devices, and after a while this researcher discovered that his discovery was used by this company without referring to him or buying this discovery, What do you think about the above. B. As a quality control engineer in one of the electrical appliance factories, I discovered that the technical worker responsible for inspecting one of these products seals its validity without inspecting it. when I filed a complaint with the administration, the administration neglected the complaint, arguing that there was no time to inspect it again due to lack of time to prepare the consumer. 1.
