Working of DOL Starter

 The wiring connection of DOL starter with start and stop buttons is shown in figure below. The DOL starter main terminals are connected between the mains supply terminals and motor terminals while the control circuit is energized with two terminals of three phase supply as illustrated in figure




When the start button is pressed, current will flow through one phase to the control circuit and the contactor coil to the other phase. This current energizes the contactor coil which makes to close the contacts thereby three phase supply is connected to the motor. Since the start button is of pushbutton, when it is released the control circuit still maintains the supply through hold-on contact.

If the stop button is pressed or overload relay coil operate, the current path through contactor coil will break and hence the contactor contacts drops out, thus breaking the supply to the motor. Once the power supply is interrupted, again the supply to the motor is established by pressing the start button.

The thermal overload protection relay operates depending on the heating effect of the load current. When the load current heats the thermal coils, bimetallic strip inside of it expands such that it trips out the spring-loaded contact in the control circuit. The speed at which relay operates decided by the current adjustment. Typically it will be four to five times the rated motor current.

DOL starter can be operated remotely for remote control switching of motor from any number of desired places. For remote control switching one should remember that, all the remote ON push buttons must be connected in parallel to ON pushbutton of the starter whereas all remote OFF push buttons must be connected in series with OFF pushbutton of the starter. Connect the remote ON and OFF switches as shown in dotted line in the figure for remote control operation.

  Unmanned Power Sub Station System An Unmanned Power Substation System refers to a modern and technologically advanced electrical substation that operates without the need for constant on-site human presence. These unmanned substations utilize automation, remote monitoring, and control technologies to efficiently manage potential events. Automation and Remote Control The system is equipped with intelligent devices and sensors that automate various tasks such as monitoring voltage, current, temperature, and other parameters. Remote control capabilities allow operators to manage the substation from our command center. Reduced Operation and Maintenance Costs With the elimination of on-site personnel, the operational and maintenance costs associated with manned substations are significantly reduced. Routine maintenance tasks can be scheduled and monitored remotely. Enhanced Reliability and Safety The use of automated systems ensures greater reliability and minimizes the risk of human ...

Difference Between AC And DC Motor

  Difference Between AC And DC Motor The difference between AC and DC Motor are discussed below: AC Motor vs DC Motor AC Motor DC Motor AC motor runs on alternating current. DC motors operate on direct current. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. AC motors are used where power performance is demanded for extended periods of time. DC motors are used where the speed of the motor needs to be controlled externally. AC motors can be single-phase or three-phase. All DC motors are single phase. In an AC motor the armature does not rotate while the magnetic field keeps rotating continuously. In a DC motor, the armature rotates while the magnetic field rotates. Repairing AC motors is not expensive. DC motors are very expensive to repair. Brushes are not used in AC motor. Brushes are used in DC motor. AC motors have a very long life span DC motors do not have a very long life span. The speed of AC...

  What is MOSFET? The MOSFET, also known as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, is a type of FET with an insulated gate that is assembled by the controlled oxidation of that  semiconductor . The semiconductor used in it is generally silicon. In more detail, we can explain that it is a four-a terminal-based device that is composed of a, Source(S) Gate (G) Drain (D) Body (B) In a general overview, the body of a MOSFET is in connection with its source terminal hence forming a three-terminal device such as a field-effect transistor. It is normally considered a transistor and is utilized in both digital circuits and analog circuits. A MOSFET can function in two ways Depletion Mode Enhancement Mode Enhanced Mode Enhanced mode can be defined as if there is no voltage across the gate terminal then the device will not conduct. But when there is a maximum voltage present across the gate terminal then the conductivity of the device gets enhanced. Depletion Mode Depletion...
