Relays are electromechanical switches that contain auxiliary contacts. Auxiliary contacts are small and are intended to be used for control applications. As ageneral rule, they are not intended to control…
Magnetic type overload relays operate by sensing the strength of the magnetic field produced by the current flow to the motor. The greatest difference between magnetic type and thermal type…
There are two major types of overload relays: thermal and magnetic. Thermal overloads operate by connecting a heater in series with the motor. The amount of heat produced depends on…
Overloads should not be confused with fuses or circuit breakers. Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to protect the circuit from a direct ground or short-circuit condition. Overloads are designed…
Manual motor stater Manual starters are characterized by the fact that the operator must go to the location of the starter to initiate any change of action. There are several…
Motor control circuits depend on sensing devices to determine what conditions are occurring. They actvery much like the senses of the body. The brain is the control center of the…
Motor control systems perform some basic functions. The ones listed are by no means the only ones, but are very common. These basic functions will be discussed in greater detail…
We will discuss the main components of the SOLIDWORKS interface. These main components are the Command Bar, the Task Pane, the Canvas/Graphics Area, and the FeatureManager Design Tree. When opening…
SOLIDWORKS provides certifications that cover different aspects of its functionality. As a user, you don’t need to gain any of those certifications to use the software; however, they can prove…
Parametric modeling is the core principle that SOLIDWORKS operates on. It governs how SOLIDWORKS constructs 3D models and how a user should think when dealing with SOLIDWORKS. in parametric modeling,…
