Relevant Theory:
Procedure:
1) Connect the N.O. (start switch) with the N.O. (stop switch) to the relay coil as in the
diagram above.
2) Connect the motor in series with the relay switch and supply as shown.
3) Test all connections to verify continuity.
4) Connect to 115V mains.
5) Press the Start switch.
6) Press the Stop switch. (Set up and testing 11marks)
Observations:
1. When the circuit was energized the motor remained in a rest position.
2. When the green switch was pushed in there was a click in the relay and also
a spark. The contact in the relay moved a click was heard and a spark was
also seen in the relay. And the motor began to spin
3. On the release of the start button, the motor continued spinning until the
red button was pressed
4. Then the motor was stopped

Precautions:
Conclusion Questions
The function of the relay is permits a small amount of electrical current to control high current loads
4. What are possible dangers of operating an induction motor with a defective starting
capacitor?
