Normally Open Auxiliary Contact Symbol

A form c would have 3 leads and would have 1 normally open and 1 normally closed circuit.

Normally open auxiliary contact symbol.

There are two basic auxiliary contact types. There is a common electrical connection between a contact of each pair that results in only three connection terminals. Iec 60617 sample drawing. Normally open terminal normally closed terminal and common terminal respectively.

Each symbol means a single terminal itself. Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized. Auxiliary contact 1nc 1no. These have two states on or off.

Those that are closed in the non activated state or those that are open. In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes. Jic nfpa sample drawing. The n c contacts are for example used as electrical interlocks where two contactors are used for forward reverse operation.

Output coil can be auxiliary contactor or main contactor coil. These are known as normally closed n c and normally open n o contacts. This is also called a changeover device because the common contact changes from the normally closed position to the normally open position when the coil is energized in a relay or a magnetic field is nearby in a reed switch. Form c contacts change over or transfer contacts are composed of a normally closed contact pair and a normally open contact pair that are operated by the same device.

Auxiliary contact 1nc 1no. Available in svg png. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the. No terminal nc terminal and com terminal represent contact terminals symbols.

It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary normally open or normally closed contacts. The lamp will energize only if someone presses the switch holding its normally open contacts in the closed position normally open switch contacts are sometimes referred to in the electrical industry as form a contacts. On the other hand contact point a contact point b and contact point c represent contact structures. When voltage is applied this contact opens and interrupts current.

These are contacts of relays contactors timers counter field instrument switches pressure switches limit switches etc. These terminals are usually labelled as normally open common and normally closed no c nc. There are two types of contacts no normally open and nc normally closed. We can tell this switch is a normally open no switch because it is drawn in an open position.
