This technical article will try to shed some light on the main and auxiliary circuit diagrams of switching three-phase motors via contactor and switching directly. We’ll cover some fundamental schematics with an old-school explanations and logics on how they work. But before we dive into diagrams, let’s say some words about the graphic symbols, cir...
The contactor is one of the most important switching devices in industrial circuits. It comprises all the functions which are virtually always required in control systems: 1. Remote operation, 2. High switching capacity and continuous rating, 3. Long mechanical service life, 4. Low space requirements, 5. Reliable contact making, and 6. Complete mai...

2.2 Switch-over of a three-phase induction motor from one supply network to another
Figure 6 (abc) illustrates the circuit diagrams for the switch-over of a three-phase induction motor from one supply network to another(also known as load transfer). Figure 6a– Main circuit diagram for the switch-over of a 3-phase in-action motor from one supply network to another
2.3 Automatic sequential starting of 3-phase induction motors
Figure 7 (abcd) illustrates the circuit diagrams for the automatic switching-on of several three-phase motors in succession (also called sequential starting). Figure 7a– Main circuit diagram for automatic sequential starting of several three-phase induction motors
Eaton’s motor control centers (MCCs) provide a convenient method for grouping motor control, as well as associated distribution equipment. MCCs may be applied on electrical systems up to 600 V, 50 or 60 Hz, having available fault currents of up to 100,000 A rms. Enclosure designs include NEMAT 1 Gasketed as well as NEMA 2, 12, 3R and 3R walk-in.
Wiring diagrams, sometimes called “main” or “construc-tion” diagrams, show the actual connection points for the wires to the components and terminals of the controller. They show the relative location of the components. They can be used as a guide when wiring the controller.
