Manual control may be accomplished by simply connecting a switch in series with a
motor (Figure 21).

FUNCTIONS OF MOTOR CONTROL
Motor
There are some basic functions that motor control systems perform.
The ones listed below are by no means the only ones, but are very
common.
These basic functions will be discussed in greater detail in this text.
It is important not only to understand these basic functions of a
control system, but also to know how control components are

This is often referred to as ramping.
In other situations, it may be necessary to limit the amount of
current or torque during starting.
Some of these methods will be dis-cussed later.

Coils connected to alternating current often have a metal oxide varistor (MOV)
connected across the coil (Figure 19).
Metal oxide varistors are voltage sensitive resistors. They have the ability to
change their resistance value in accord with the amount of voltage applied to
them.
The MOV will have a voltage rating greater than that of the coil it is connected
across. Figure 1 9 A metal oxide
varistor (MOV) is used to

leakage current and is so small that it does not affect the operation of the circuit.
If the voltage across the coil should become greater than the voltage rating of
the MOV, the resistance of the MOV will suddenly change to a very low value,
generally in the range of 2 or 3 ohms. This effectively short-circuits the coil and
prevents the voltage from be-coming any higher than the voltage rating of the
MOV (Figure 110). Metal oxide varistors change resistance value very quickly,
generally in the range of 3 to 10 nanoseconds. When the circuit voltage drops
below the voltage rating of the MOV, it will return to its high resistance value.Figure 1 10 The metal

Control TIMING RELAYS
Motor
A timing relay is similar to a control relay, except that certain of its contacts are
designed to operate at a preset time interval, or time lag, after the coil is
energized, or de-energized.
Time delay relays can be divided into two general classications: the on-delay
relay, and the off-delay re-lay. The on-delay relay is often referred to as DOE,
which stands for Delay On Energize. The off-delay relay is often referred to as
DODE, which stands for Delay On De-Energize. On-delay normally

Timer relays are similar to other control relays in that they use a coil to control the closed
operation of some number of contacts. The difference between a control relay and contacts.
a timer relay is that the contacts of the timer relay delay changing their position

an on-delay timer, the contacts delay changing position for some period of time.
For this example, assume that the timer has been set for a delay of 10 seconds.
Also assume that the contact is normally open. When voltage is connected to the
coil of the on-delay timer, the contacts will remain in the open position for 10 Off-delay
seconds and then close. When voltage is removed and the coil is de-energized, normally open

The proper selection of timing relays for a particular application can be made after
a study of the service requirements and with knowledge of the operating
characteristics inherent in each available device.

Current ows through the overload relay while the motor is running.
Excess current will cause the overload relay to trip at a predetermined level, opening
the circuit between the power source and the motor.
After a predetermined amount of time, the overload relay can be reset. When the
cause of the overload has been identied and corrected, the motor can be restarted.

Electronic overload relays are another option for motor protection. The
features and benets of electronic overload relays vary, but there are a
few common traits.
One advantage offered by electronic overload relays is a heater less
design, reducing installation cost and the need to stock a variety of
heaters to match motor ratings.
Heater less design also allows the electronic relay to be insensitive to the
