To determine

Explain why the selector switch and a two-wire pilot device should be connected to the magnetic starter to control a large motor and they cannot be controlled directly.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If the contacts of the selector switch and automatic pilot device are large enough to pass the safety full-load current of motor, then they can control the motor directly, but the contact capacity of these devices is generally not large enough for huge motors.

Hence, these devices cannot be utilized to control the motor directly.

These two devices are connected to magnetic starter for controlling a large motor.

Conclusion:

Thus, the given statement is explained.
