Issue:
User wants to know the abbreviations for common relay types.

\n

 

\n

Resolution:

\n
  • Normally Open (NO) contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated; the circuit is disconnected when inactive. This type is also called Form A or a make contact.
  • Normally Closed (NC) contacts disconnect the circuit when the relay is activated; the circuit is connected when inactive. This type is also called Form B or a break contact.
  • Change-over (Double-Throw) contacts control two circuits: one NO and one NC contact with a common terminal. This type is called Form C or a transfer contact. It is often “break-before-make.” The opposite, “make-before-break,” is Form D.
\n

Other common relay types:

\n
  • SPST (Single Pole Single Throw): Two terminals that can be connected or disconnected. With coil terminals, there are four total. Contact can be NO or NC; abbreviations SPNO and SPNC clarify this.
  • SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw): One common terminal connects to either of two others. With coil terminals, there are five total.
  • DPST (Double Pole Single Throw): Two pairs of terminals, equivalent to two SPST relays operated by one coil. Six terminals total.
  • DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): Two rows of change-over terminals, equivalent to two SPDT relays operated by one coil. Eight terminals total.
  • 4PDT (Four Pole Double Throw)/Quadruple Pole Double Throw (QTDP) : Four rows of change-over terminals, equivalent to four SPDT relays or two DPDT relays operated by one coil. Fourteen terminals total.

How does humidity affect insulation resistance testing results?

Product Line:
Circuit Breakers

Environment:
Molded case and insulated case breakers

Resolution:
High humidity can drastically reduce insulation resistance testing results for circuit breakers.

Some equipment acceptance testing documents suggest values above 100 mega ohms and normally that is okay however high humidity can drastically reduce the results of the insulation resistance values.  Below is a sample of how higher humidity can reduce the IR values, making the 100 mega ohms acceptance testing values invalid.
40% humidity:  breaker IR value above 500 mega ohms, typical 1 G ohm*
75% humidity:  breaker IR value around 10 mega ohms*
95% humidity:  breaker IR value around 4 mega ohms*

*All values above are functional and conforming. Values derived from test data on Powerpact H frame breakers in a Schneider Electric laboratory.

The IEC 60947 standard, section 6.1.3.1 states that IR testing should be done below 50% humidity and states a 1 M ohm minimum IR value for a new breaker.

NEMA AB-4 recommends IR values for breakers, less than one mega ohm (1,000,000 ohm) should be investigated.  The Schneider Electric field testing and maintenance guide also states the same one mega ohm value, as written below.

Severe environmental conditions can reduce the dielectric strength of
molded case circuit breakers. Check insulation resistance during electrical
system testing.
To check the insulation resistance, perform the following steps:
1. De-energize and isolate the circuit breaker.
2. Clean the circuit breaker as described earlier.
3. Using a megohmmeter with a capacity of 500–1000 Vdc, apply voltage
from:
a. Each phase-to-ground with the circuit breaker on (circuit breaker
contacts closed).
b. Phase-to-phase with the circuit breaker on (circuit breaker contacts
closed).
c. Between each line and load terminal with the circuit breaker off
(circuit breaker contacts open).
4. Record resistance values. Resistance values of less than one mega ohm
(1,000,000 ohm) should be investigated.

overvoltage’s. Overvoltage’s on the motor terminals can cause both partial and corona discharge which eventually wears down the winding insulation to failure. 

Corona discharge occurs when the overvoltage is large enough to cause electrons to flow from one winding to another whilst ionising the air between the conductors. They cause damage to the internal and external insulating material respectively. As the motor cable length increases the peak voltage increases. This can increase to a value of 2 to 2.5 times the DC bus voltage. 

Schneider Electric Offer Sinus filters or dv/dt filters to reduce the overvoltage across windings and high frequency currents in differential mode. Check out our current ATV600 or ATV900 catalogue for more information on output filters to help you with overvoltage mitigation.

Issue:
Numeric display with an expression also have input

Product Line:
Vijeo Designer

Resolution:
In Vijeo Designer, a numeric display with an expression cannot have input activated. In order to achieve this, you will need to make your own custom object using the following:
1) A numeric display with the expression.
2) An invisible switch.
3) A numeric display with input activated.

This example assumes that the numeric display with the expression only involves one tag.

The idea behind this setup is that we will use visibility animation to show and hide the appropriate numeric display. In a normal mode, we will display the numeric display with the expression. The visibility condition for this numeric display should be assigned to a boolean call "Hide_Display" for example. The expression for the Visibility condition should be "!Hide_Display."

Next, the invisible switch will be used to set to the boolean. Therefore the operation is the Bit Set operation on the boolean "Hide_Display". In addition, the visibility condition is also set to "!Hide_Display".

Finally, the numeric display with the input activated should have Visibility set to "Hide_Display" so that when the boolean is High, it is displayed while the other is hidden. In the Advanced tab of the numeric display, we should also set the "Use Input Trigger" and "Input Status Variable" to "Hide_Display". The status mode should be set to "ON/OFF Reverse Mode". These settings will allow the boolean to be reset after an number is entered.

Please see the attached example for a demo.

The purpose of the line contactor is to provide a means of removing AC line voltage from the softstart.  Due to leakage currents through the solid state switches, hazardous voltages can be present on the load side of the softstarter when power is applied to the line side of the softstarter. 
Also, the line contactor can be controlled to open if the ATS22 faults.  Some faults are the result of SCRs shorting.  If multiple SCRs fail in a shorted condition, full voltage power passes through and will either single phase or continue to run the motor.  The KM1 would interrupt  the power circuit.

Resolution:
There are multiple ways to increase the starting torque of the ATV630 series drive.  Out of the box, it is configured for low starting torque loads such as pumps or fans.  Occasionally there will be an application that requires more starting torque.  Initially, before changing any of the below parameters, verify that your motor nameplate information has been entered correctly under the Simply Start menu.  The Voltage, Horsepower, Frequency, Current and RPM must match the motor nameplate.
The following parameters can be modified if this is the case:

Motor Control Type:  Main Menu / 5:Complete settings / 5.2:Motor Parameters :  Find Parameter Motor Control Type.  Changing this to U/F VC Standard will increase starting torque.
IR Compensation :  Main Menu / 5:Complete settings / 5.2:Motor Parameters / Motor Control : Find parameter IR Compensation:  Increasing this parameter will also boost low end torque.  Make small adjustments to this parameter, no more than 5% at a time.  Increasing this parameter too high can cause erratic motor operation such as rocking back and forth, stalling completely, or running the wrong direction.
Boost:  Main Menu / 5:Complete settings / 5.2:Motor Parameters / Motor Control : Find boost parameter.  Changing this to static or dynamic can increase torque.  If Static is selected you must also select a speed where boost is applied and a boost percentage.  "},{"Title":"Can I mix C10, C69 with V66 batteries in a Symmetra PX battery frames?","UrlName":"FA231261","LastModifiedDate":"06/10/2025","products":"Symmetra PX","score":1.000527096030308,"firstpublisheddate":"10/06/2014","answer":"
