4. The circuit shown here provides two-direction control (forward and reverse) for a
three-phase electric motor:
R.
S. 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 normally-closed contacts in series with each starter coil. [1 pt]
5. Identify at least three independent faults that could cause this motor not to start:
T.
U. For each of the proposed faults, explain why they would prevent the motor from
starting. [1 pt]
6. Interpret this AC motor control circuit diagram, explaining the meaning of each
symbol:
V.
W.
X.
Y.
Z.
AA. Also, explain the operation of this motor control circuit. What happens
when someone actuates the Run switch? What happens when they let go of the
Run switch? [1 pt]
7. Examine this three-phase motor control circuit, where fuses protect against
overcurrent and a three-pole relay (called a contactor) turns power on and off to the
motor:
AB.
AC.
AD.
AE.
AF.
AG.
AH. After years of faithful service, one day this motor refuses to start. It makes
a humming sound when the contactor is energized (relay contacts close),
but it does not turn. A mechanic checks it out and determines that the shaft is
not seized, but is free to turn. The problem must be electrical in nature!
AI. You are called to investigate. Using a clamp-on ammeter, you measure the
current through each of the lines (immediately after each fuse) as another
A. L B. Current start is once again attempted. You

then record the three current

e measurements:
C. 1 D. 52.7 amps
AJ.
E. 2 F. 51.9 amps
G. 3 H. 0 amps AK.
AL. Determine at least two possible faults, which could account for the motors
refusal to start and the three current measurements taken. Then, decide what
your next measurement(s) will be to isolate the exact location and nature of
the fault. [1 pt]

1. Draw the power and control circuits of star delta motor starting. [5pts]
2. Draw the power circuit and control circuit of combined star delta with forward
reverse. [5pts]
3. Redraw and complete the control-wiring diagram to operate the magnetic motor
starter with a start-stop station. [3pts]
AQ.
4. The schematic control diagram has a start-stop push-button station operating a
magnetic motor starter with an emergency stop push button mounted on the
machine. On separate sheet of paper, draw a ladder control diagram for the circuit.
[3pts]
AR.
5. The start-stop push-button station turns on motor A and, after a time delay of 30
seconds, motor B is turned on by the time-delay relay. The time-delay is the type that
instantly resets when power to the timer is interrupted. On separate sheet of paper,
draw a ladder diagram of the control system. [4pts]
