Basic Motor Control: 3 Wire Start Stop Circuit (updated)

#AccessToPower #MotorControl #AccessElectric
accesstopower.com
In this video, I demonstrate a 3 wire Start/Stop circuit with multiple push buttons. This is an update of our original video by the same name • Basic Motor Control: 3... . In this video, I try to show the field wiring as clearly as I could while at the same time, showing the live wiring schematic. I made this video in response to several comments from viewers who were looking for more clarity. So here is out updated 3 wire start stop circuit video. I describe each of the components involved, such as the motor starter, overload, start pushbutton, stop pushbutton, and control power and how they work. I then screencast a simulated circuit so you can visualize exactly what is happening in the Start-Stop Circuit.

    Wow, another great video! Thanks so much. And using the clear plexiglas mounting is a brilliant way to show in a (literally) clear and engaging way just what is going on. This was definitely a worthy update from the earlier video, thought it's best to watch the other one first, and then this one. My only suggestion is to add 2 indicator lights. One to represent the load being controlled, and the other to indicate POWER ON to the basic control circuit (ie, Breaker On). With these, you could start by manually closing the contractor to show that the load lights up. One additional suggestion would be to inset a close-up view of the contractor connections when you're discussing them so we can see when you have 2 wires connected to the same terminal (which is think is the case for the blue and red hot feeds for the contractor coil).
