Learning Objectives:
After reading this CONTENT, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify the types of Manual Controllers.
2. Draw diagrams for Manual Controllers.
3. Develop safety awareness
This information will cover the different types of manual controllers. This will also cover the important details on how to prepare and draw a circuit diagrams for different types of manual controllers in Direct Current motor Control
MANUAL MOTOR CONTROLLERS
Safety Disconnect Switches
Heavy-duty horsepower rated switches capable of providing manual ON/OFF control to higher motor loads than standard toggle switches. Built for commercial and industrial installations up to 60 Amps, Leviton offers a line of industrial grade AC single-phase and three-phase manual motor controllers with a continuous current rating at all voltages up to 600V AC and maximum horsepower ratings of 30HP.
Our 30 Amp and 40 Amp motor switches are UL 508 listed “Suitable as Motor Disconnect”, which means they may be used in place of a standard disconnect switch in line-of-sight applications in factory settings.
Manual motor controls
Eaton's Arrow Hart manual motor controllers offer compact, industrial-grade designs built to provide safe, reliable motor control performance in even the most rugged environments. They feature high-impact-resistant, glass-filled nylon construction; easy-to-read electrical ratings on rugged steel mounting straps; clear ON/OFF indicators on large, rugged toggles; distinct wire pockets and thick-wall arc barriers to contain strands; and screw-and-clamp or box-lug terminals to meet individual project requirements. Plus, two sets of contacts per pole distribute load and make/break action for long, reliable duty.
