Start, stop, and protection circuits
Some applications may require a brief close or brief break using a button to start and stop equipment.
A protective circuit must therefore be designed to maintain continued operation in these situations.
This protective circuit may employ one of the following methods.
Example 1: Priority stop protective circuit
When the start N.O. contact X1=ON, and the stop N.C. contact X2=OFF, Y1=ON. If X2
switches to ON, coil Y1 is no longer electrified, and this is therefore referred to as priority
stop. See Figure 16-37.
Figure 16-37
Example 2: Priority start protective circuit
When the start N.O. contact X1=ON, and the stop N.C. contact X2=
OFF, Y1=ON, and
coil Y1 is electrified and protected. If X2 switches to ON, coil Y1 still protects the contact
and continues to be electrified, and this is therefore referred to as priority start. See Figure
16-38.
