I need help drawing an elementary diagram of a fractionalhorsepower, manual motor starter. When the starter contact is closed, itwill energize a pneumatic timing relay coil through the overload heater.After the timer coil is energized, the circuit will show a delayed closingcontact that energizes a small motor on 120 volts.
This is for my mechatronics class in regards to PLC and ladder diagrams It is common practice to include a NC contact after the coil to prevent overloading and overheating of a device such as a motor. True or False
