Basic Motor Controls Explained

In this video, I discuss the basic principle of operation for a basic motor control circuit. This example could be found on a simple motor control circuit for say an exhaust fan. I draw out each component and explain how all the components interact with one another. Understanding the basic principle of operation first will set to stage for other TROUBLESHOOTING videos that are to come. Please comment below with any questions you have, and I will do my best to answer them. Also, consider SUBSCRIBING to the channel for future uploads.
Thanks, for watching!

By far, one of the best explanations that I've seen & heard on a video! I've been an electrician for over 20 yrs, & thanks for explaining to everyone how it works!

I recently graduated an industrial maintenance program and was looking for videos to keep knowledge fresh. Fantastic job sir!

For anyone reading a small clarification to the end. I know he mentioned it but to clarify when the contactor opens the aux contact opens as well which will keep the motor from restarting once you release the stop button. Also expect multiple aux contacts for things such as indicator lights and SCADA/DCS signals. Lastly there will often be a breaker at the very beginning directly in the three phase lines before any circuitry. This is for circuit protection as well as to kill power to allow for maintenance, repairs, and any other work.

As a non electrician this helps a lot with me understanding three phase starters. Have an old three phase drill press that I tried to use today but the start button would not depress. Looking inside the button will push down without providing power if I rotate a mechanical arm or turn down an internal amp dial. Not sure how to troubleshoot this but I do understand the principle of the switch. Thank you.

Nice concise explanation! I just wanted to add that the primary side of the step down transformer has 2 fuses as well. At least the motor controls I work on do. One other thing is it might be a good idea to label the contacts with the ANSI/IEEE device numbers as a lot of the prints we encounter identify the contacts with the device numbers. IE 49 contacts for the thermal overloads, and 42 contacts for the main contactor and aux contacts. I know you are probably just trying to do a simple explanation for newbies, but I figured I'd make this comment for those who are eager for the extra info. Nice Work! 👍

@themaintenancefactory2592 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment Kyle. You are 100% correct about the fuses, and the ANSI device names. I also did not include a main breaker or disconnect means for the main power section. You are correct about keeping it simple. My intent was to explain how the components work together rather than focus on the labeling/naming scheme. I believe the ANSI device names will probably be covered in later videos. Thanks for stopping by!

Very good video. Especially you can explain it from two wires circuit to three wires circuit. It’s easy for the beginner to understand it. But for one thing it is confused for the beginner . It is the name, M1, for the motor and the low voltage control relay coil, which can not be named the same. The relay coil can be named as CR.
