Quiz

The document contains two questions about three-phase induction motors. The first question explains that motor direction is reversed by using two starters (M1 and M2) and that there is only one set of overload heaters because overload protection is not dependent on rotation direction. It also notes that normally-closed contacts are in series with each starter coil to prevent simultaneous energization. The second question presents a fault scenario where a motor contactor energizes but the motor does not run, and asks where to check with a multimeter and why, to diagnose the nature of the fault.

induction motor
Name:

Three phase
ID:

Q1) The circuit shown here provides two-direction control


(forward and reverse) for a three-phase electric motor:

Explain how the reversal of motor direction is


accomplished with two different motor starters, M1 and
M2. Also, explain why there is only one set of overload
heaters instead of two (one for forward and one for
reverse). Finally, explain the purpose of the normallyclosed contacts in series with each starter coil.

Quiz
Three phase
induction motor
There is something wrong in this motor control circuit.
When the start button is pressed, the contactor energizes
but the motor itself does not run:

Identify a good place to check with your multimeter to


diagnose the nature of the fault, and explain your
reasoning.
