Contactor A device for repeatedly establishing and interrupting an electric power circuit. Definite-purpose contractors are those designed for specific applications such as air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment control. 

The allowances for diversity shown in Table A2 of the On Site Guide are for very specific situations and can only provide guidance. The diversity allowances for lighting circuits should be applied to items of equipment connected to the consumer unit. However, standard power circuit arrangements for households, as described in Appendix H of the On Site Guide, can be applied to the rated current of the overcurrent protective device for the circuit. It Is Important to ensure that the consumer s unit is of sufficient rating to take the total load connected without the application of any diversity. 

In this section, a simulation method of basic switching circuit by the EMTP is explained. The technique can be applicable to a power-switching device. 

This is applicable to thyristor (SCR) circuits to protect all the semiconductor devices used in the switching circuit, such as diodes (also power diodes) or IGBTs, in addition to SCRs. The same protection can be applied to all the semiconductor circuits likely to experience high dv/di. 

This circuit may simply transfer electrons, as in the Zn/Cu example. In useful applications, the flow of electrons in the external circuit provides power to operate a flashlight, radio, or other device. 

Four different types of tasks are performed by automation. Two involve the sequencing of valves and pumps Involved 1n the setup and completion of the designed experiment through the operation of the test and hydraulic fluid systems. The other tasks involve the control of the temperature bath and data collection. To perform these tasks, a1r-actuated solenoids and optically coupled sol Id-state relays are used. These devices are controlled by an electrical circuit consisting of the device connected 1n series with a power supply and a channel on the actuator card In the HP 3497. The power supply 1s either 24 VDC for use with the solenoids or 5 VDC for the solid-state relays. The actuator output channel acts as a simple on/off switch which allows power to be supplied to the solenoid or relay when closed. The logic of the circuit 1s controlled by application programs running on the local HP 1000.
