what is Potential free contact? where it is used?..

Answer / abdelrahman

Potential free contacts (also called "dry contacts") are
simply contacts which are physically operated with the main
device, but not electrically connected to it. For example a
motor contactor often has auxiliary contacts that are
operated by the main coil and open and close at the same
time as the main contacts but are not used for control of
the motor starter. If they are connected to an outside
circuit to indicate the status of the starter without being
powered by the motor supply they would be considered
potential free contacts.
These type also called Signal-Contacts.

In case of relays and switches if the common/pole is
connected internally to a given potential like a 110V phase
etc., the contact is not POTENTIAL FREE but if both the
common and the normall open (and at time also the normally
closed) contacts are presented to the user for connecting
in his system as he pleases,the contact is said to
be "potential-free".

Answer / mithilesh kumar

in Potential free contact cable not present voltage.
but it's also depends upon resistance.
in this cable are in line then this 1-2 ohm resistance is
permissible.
any comment u welcome.
good luck

A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
