Explanation of Solution

a.

Schematic diagram of AC magnetic motor starter:

The schematic diagram for an across-the-line AC magnetic motor starter is given below:

Explanation:

  • The above given schematic is of a three phase magnetic motor starter as AC signals mostly prefer three phase system...

Explanation of Solution

b.

i) Function of main contact M:

  • The main contact M is placed in series with the motor.
  • It is used to complete the path to the motor.
  • It is a part of the power circuit and is built in such a way that it could handle full load current of motor.

ii) Function of control contact M:

  • The control contact M is placed parallel to the start button.
  • It is provided with an address similar to that of the starter coil M.
  • It is used to keep continuity in path from left end of the rail to starter coil M, even though the start button is released.
  • It is more than enough to handle small amount of current that is needed to energize the coil.

iii) Function of starter coil M:

  • The starter coil M is placed in series to the start button...
