What is Relays (basic knowledge for newbies)
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 Overload Relays to protect the motor
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…
Thermal Overload Relays to protect the motor
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…
The differences between fuses and overloads
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…
The operation of manual motor starters
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…
Sensing Devices (Motor control)
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…
Functions of Motor Control
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…
Main components of the SOLIDWORKS
interface
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…
Exploring SOLIDWORKS certifications (associate to expert)
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…
Understanding parametric modelling
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,…
