Normally Open Auxiliary Contact Symbol

We can tell this switch is a normally open no switch because it is drawn in an open position.

Normally open auxiliary contact symbol.

Normally open terminal normally closed terminal and common terminal respectively. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the. Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized. This is also called a changeover device because the common contact changes from the normally closed position to the normally open position when the coil is energized in a relay or a magnetic field is nearby in a reed switch.

There are two basic auxiliary contact types. Jic nfpa sample drawing. Normally closed nc contacts allow current through when the relay or contactor is not energized. Auxilliary contacts symbols for use in electrical pneumatic and hydraulic schematic diagrams.

No terminal nc terminal and com terminal represent contact terminals symbols. On the other hand contact point a contact point b and contact point c represent contact structures. Normally open contact iec symbols. Each symbol means a single terminal itself.

Those that are closed in the non activated state or those that are open. The n c contacts are for example used as electrical interlocks where two contactors are used for forward reverse operation. These are contacts of relays contactors timers counter field instrument switches pressure switches limit switches etc. There is a common electrical connection between a contact of each pair that results in only three connection terminals.

It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary normally open or normally closed contacts. The lamp will energize only if someone presses the switch holding its normally open contacts in the closed position normally open switch contacts are sometimes referred to in the electrical industry as form a contacts.
