DOL Smw ( GMW ) Motor Starter LG Model magnetic Contactor Starer


SMW series Magnetic starteris mainly applied to circuit of AC 50 or 60Hz,voltage up to 550Vfor far distance making and breaking circuit and frequently starting and controlling motor. It hasthe features of small volume, light weight, low power consumption, high efficiency, safe and reliable performance.

Implementation

A magnetic starter has a contactor and an overload relay, which will open the control voltage to the starter coil if it detects an overload on a motor.Overload relays may rely on heat produced by the motor current to operate a bimetal contact or release a contact held closed by a low-melting-point alloy.[citation needed] The overload relay opens a set of contacts that are wired in series with the supply to the contactor feeding the motor. The characteristics of the heaters can be matched to the motor so that the motor is protected against overload. Recently, microprocessor-controlled motor digital protective relays offer more comprehensive protection of motors.

Due to the electromagnet in the contactor, if power to the machine should fail the contactor will automatically disengage. Unlike machines with an ordinary latching switch (such as a common light switch), when the power is resumed the machine will not operate until being turned on again. As a result, magnetic starters often use momentary switches for "off" and "on" functions, as this type of switch returns to a defined normal position when released. Latching switches do not have this feature and therefore are normally not used with a magnetic starter.

Motor control contactors can be fitted with short-circuit protection (fuses or circuit breakers), disconnecting means, overload relays and an enclosure to make a combination starter. Several combination starters and other switchgear and control devices can be grouped in a common enclosure called a motor control center.
