    • @electreca1

      Find a free NC contacct in the mains auto circuit, that will be your auto start.

    Gteat content ! However, I have one concern with the setup. What protection is there against the possible of either armature of the generator or main contactor becomes jammed ? I see that the interlocking NC and NO switches on contactors are for sensing the position of each contactor. Wouldn't a seizure of armature prevent the transfer ?

    Hi, very informative video. Please answer me on this, that power coming supplying the generator control breaker, is it DC or AC because you said all the relays are DC

    • @electreca1
      @electreca1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The power on generator control breaker is AC coming from generator main breaker

  • @KimbugweJohn-y7y
    @KimbugweJohn-y7y 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When you connect remote start to the nc of the main relay assuming you switch off all the main breakers that is gen and the main, still the gen will start automatically not so?

    • @electreca1
      @electreca1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When using three phase- Just connect all the three phases to phase failure L1 L2 L3 and the neutral
      When using single phase- connect live wire to P and then you bridge or short or loop P to any of the three phase terminal, it can be P- L1,P -L3 or P-L2. and of coarse the neutral.
      With mechanical interlock
      the 2 contactors must be a like in all feature for it to lock mechanically.
      deferent type of brands lock differently. watch this video th-cam.com/video/x6HpYWZZRZU/w-d-xo.html

    Please sir I have a serious question. When the mains goes out, relay contacts closes, the Gen starts cranking. Wouldn't the Gen continues cranking since the signal cable remains shorted?

    • @lukeskibet9515
      @lukeskibet9515 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let me try to answer that.. When the mains comes back, the main relay lever changes position from NC to NO. In that case the generator cable is not short-circuited since the new position is open(NO)

    Dear Electreca
    Why do we need relays for mains and gen when we can directly connect the DC point to energize mains and gen contactor respectively directly and now have to worry about extra relays?
    NO/NC of contactor can be used for electrical interlock so why need relay at all?

    • @electreca1
      @electreca1  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, indeed you can do away with relays for small circuits, however, if you are dealing with contactors rated at 100A and above you need relays the timer may fail to hold such a high-rated contactor for a long.
      thanks for watching
