Rarely are these familiar examples good for learning but a 3 way switch is an excellent example of using normally open and normally closed switches.
Normally open contactor wiring diagram.
These contacts may be indicated on the label as normally open no and normally closed nc.
Now let s go through a real world example of normally open and normally closed contacts that we are all familiar with.
Note that one one of the contactor acts as a switch for the start button.
2 days ago i wired 380 to 440 volts contactor for a 3 phase motor and save these images of contactor in pc.
Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized.
Unijunction transistor table 1 standard elementary diagram symbols cont d battery bell annunciator buzzer horn alarm siren etc.
Programmable unijunction transistor scr.
Bidirectional triode thyristor ujt.
Relays and contactors have two types of contacts each suited for different applications.
In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.
Its is important to.
Silicon controlled rectifier triac.
Subscribe a simple breakdown of how a normally open switch no should operate vs how a normally closed switch nc should operate when wired correctly.
The manufacturer information will identify the 2 input pins for 120 volts ac control.
A simple circuit diagram either of the two start buttons will close the contactor either of the stop buttons will open the contactor.
Contactor wiring and i hope after this post you will be able to wire a 3 phase motor i also published a post about 3 phase motor wiring with magnetic contactor and thermal overload relay but today post and contactor wiring diagram is too simple and easy to learn.

The may be 2 or more sets of output contacts identified.
For instance the following diagram shows a normally open pushbutton switch controlling a lamp on a 120 volt ac circuit the hot and neutral poles of the ac power source labeled l1 and l2 respectively.
