-
What: Learning about normally open and normally closed contacts.
Why: To better understand how these deviced work, and how we can utilize them on the job site. -
-
went to a residential building, open neutral on a kitchen outlet. then to a commerical building, whole mess of work to be done.
-
what: we wired first a button to a relay, then a holding contact switch, then a holding contact with a shut off switch.
why: to further show us the workings of a relay, and allow us a better understanding if how to wire them in the future. -
What :more wiring practice on relays, using a box to mount the buttons and a rail for the relay, as wella s a fuse.
When: took about 1 hour to finish after talking for about 30 minutes ont he proprer learnings of it. -
what: wiring to separate relays to light up one light, one at a time, before then setting up an electrical interlock, preventing both buttons from being pressed to light the light.
Who: a partnership between me and gage -
what: wiring 2 buttons to a motor starter, as well as making it holding circuit as well.
when: Dec 11th 2024. took me about 15-20 minutes to complete the project. -
what: wiring both forward and reverse motor starters, while utilizinang their innate mechaniacal interlock, and wiring an electrical interlocks as well.
why: to porpo;early demonstrate the use of an electrical interlocks, and to enhance our knowledge of motor starters, while engaging us into forward and reverse properties. -
What: Electrical interlocks wiring practice, as well as unit 7 on Mike Holt capacitors.
When, the 13th of December in the year rof our Lord 2024. -
What: @ relays with buttons, and a stop button, holding circuits, with lights.
When: finished it in about an hour and a half,
problems: one NO button did not work, did not find out why. -
What: a forward, reverse and emergency stop circuit with a button for each leading to a relay, with 3 mechanical interlocks.
Why: a challenge imposed to show and understanding of 3 relays, as well as mechanical interlocks. -
what, we wired more relays time time with on delays, as well as moving up to 120 volts.
when, this took about an hour to fully wire and test, I could have done it faster, but it was tired. -
what_ further learning the theory of motor controls, as well as learning a little more on what we will be doing on the dsa, and other tests
when- we will do the tests, on the 24th of janurary -
doing 12o volt wiring with time delays and relays.
-
what- used time delay, on relays to further build an understanding on how to use these in the right enviroment
why- to further understand and develop our skills with on delays switches, ot help aid our knowledge of different types of relays. -
what- working with off delay relays to make 2 lights turn on and off in syncronisisity
additionally, workshoped how to use an on and off delay to make lights flip on and off eternally,
why- to better understand off relays, as well as to prepare us for the big tests on Friday. -
what- we did our dsa, motor controls tests and skills USA test ont hr 18th, then we did plc on the 19th
when- across 2 days, took up most of the 18th, with only a small part of the 19th taken up. -
what-we studied theory, and discussed whether there are more doors or windows,
when- we used most of the day for theory work, however we ended up using about an hour discussing doors and windows. -
what-we began working on the motor control wall, and got to using new types of switches
when, it took us a long time to finally get going, due to the unfamiliar nature of this project, I had many questions, so it took a while to finally get going.
