Year 2 J2 Flashcards
Three types of mechanisms for sensing pressure
Bourdon Tube
Bellows
Diaphragm
Three different current ratings for switches
Inrush or make contact
Normal or continuous
Opening or break contact
on-delay timer
contact action occurs after the relay is energized
off-delay timer
contact action is instantaneous when the relay is first energized, and the time delay occurs when the delay is de-energized
Dashpot timer
the fluid in the dashpot provides a retarding action for the piston
Pneumatic timer
Transfer of air through a restricted orifice
Motor-driven timers
small synchronous motor
longer time delays even in hrs
Electronic timers
use the R-C time constant principle for charging capacitors
Plugging
used for quickly stopping a motor
puts it in reverse to quickly stop it.
Plugging switch or zero-speed switch
the control scheme for reversing a magnetic starter and a rotary-motion switch
