NEC provisions
The National Electrical Code (NEC) defines a controller as a device or group of devices that serve
to govern, in some predetermined manner, the electrical power delivered to apparatus to which it
is connected. As it is applied to control circuits, this means anything from simple pendant switch
to complex circuit that may include relays, contactors, timers, switches and indicating light.
An example of simple electrical circuit is a bulb and the switch used to control the bulb on and
off. In some complex example, the motor control can be used to start and stop a motor
controlling a small water pump. In a more difficult task, motor controller can be used for
reversing, changing speed, jogging, sequencing or a traffic light control and conveyors.
Electrical control can be operated manually or automatically. For example, some may have a toggle switch
and manual starter to start and stop the motor. Some machines are started and stopped automatically, but
it is still a common practice that manual and automatic operation are integrated in a control circuit. To fully
understand this course, the following contents must be considered.
Electrical symbols
In order to understand the basic ideas and information being given, familiarization of the symbols is a
must. The symbols are the language of control system.
Electrical materials and equipment used in the control system
Push button switches
Push button switches are control devices used to manually open and close the set of electrical contact. It
may come in flush mount or extended mount with mushroom head. The contacts may be normally closed,
normally open or combination contacts.
Pilot lights
Pilot lights are visual information which indicates that circuit is in operation. Lights are usually
used for on and off operation, indicating, caution, changing set-up and alarm signaling. The pilot
light may come in red which is visual indication that motor is running, green normally indicates
that the system is off or de-energized. Some pilot lights come in blue, white and amber.
Control Transformer
Control transformers are used to step the voltage needed in the given operation of the circuit. It is often
desirable to operate at the control circuit at a low voltage operation.
Control Relays
The most common control components is the relay. They are used widely for switching several contacts of
starting coil, pilot light and some audible alarm. This can also be used for switching to separate the high and
low voltage source and AC and DC source.
Overload Relay
Overload relays are designed to meet the special protective needs of motor control circuits. Over
load relays:
- Allow harmless temporary overload, such as motor starting, without disrupting the circuit.
- Will trip and open the circuit if current is high enough to cause motor damage over a period of
time
- Can be reset once the overload is reset
Trip class
Overload relays are rated by a trip class, which is defined as the length of time. It will take for relay to trip in
an overload condition. Trip classes are class 10, class 20 and class 30.
Magnetic contactor and starter
The function of the magnetic contactor is similar to electromagnet; its main purpose is to hold contact while
the system is in operation. For example, a magnetic contactor is used to control the operation of power
pump. The magnetic field of the contactor attracts the armature to the magnet which in turn closes the
normally open contacts and opens the normally closed contacts.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized, the magnetic field collapses and the movable contact is
released under spring pressure.
The method of expressing the language of control symbols is a line diagram, also referred to as
ladder diagram. The diagram is composed of control circuit and the power circuit. Usually,
control circuit is expressed in lighter- weight line and power circuit is represented by heavier
weight- line. The line diagrams are read from left to right.
Power circuit and control circuit
The power circuit, indicated by the heavier line distributes power from the source to the
connected load (motor). The control circuit, indicated by lighter weight- line, is used to control
the distribution power.
Ladder diagrams are specialized schematics commonly used to document industrial control logic systems.
They are called "ladder" diagrams because they resemble a ladder, with two vertical rails (supply power)
and as many "rungs" (horizontal lines) as there are control circuits to represent. If we wanted to draw a
simple ladder diagram showing a lamp that is controlled by a hand switch, it would look like this:
The "L1" and "L2" designations refer to the two poles of a 120 VAC supply, unless otherwise noted. L1 is the
"hot" conductor, and L2 is the grounded ("neutral") conductor. These designations have nothing to do with
inductors, just to make things confusing. The actual transformer or generator supplying power to this
circuit is omitted for simplicity. In reality, the circuit looks something like this:
Typically in industrial relay logic circuits, but not always, the operating voltage for the switch contacts and
relay coils will be 120 volts AC. Lower voltage AC and even DC systems are sometimes built and
documented according to "ladder" diagrams:
In ladder diagrams, the load device (lamp, relay coil, solenoid coil, etc.) is almost always drawn
represented by lines off lighter and heavier.
Look at this circuit:
Electric motor
Electric motor is an electrical device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Motor can be
an AC or DC type, single phase two phase or three phase. This device is commonly used in industrial
commercial and utility application. It can also be a part of mechanical equipment such as winder, conveyor
or mixer.

3. Intercom diagram is read and installed in accordance with the job requirement.
7. Intercom wirings are installed in accordance with the latest provision of the PEC.
Intercom access control systems are available with option of one call and one hand set to multiple call
stations with hundreds of hand set. Intercom facilities can be available in audio only and audio video
facilities. The audio and video systems allow you to see and listen who is calling at your front door, offices
or gate before you allow or deny access. An intercom system can be connected to electric door, gates or
electric locking devices.
Bedroom Intercoms
Ensure your peace of mind by being able to monitor your children when they are
sleeping or playing. With the ‘automute’ function, you won’t be disturbed until the
noise level from the monitored room station reaches a level that deserves your
attention e.g. a crying baby. When your children are playing, the hands-free reply
feature means you can communicate freely with them—they can answer you when
you call without having to press any buttons. And with ‘sleep mode’, you can
program your room station to play music when you’re ready for bed and
automatically switch off after a certain time elapses.
Wiring Intercom
While every intercom product line is different, most analogue intercom systems have much in
common.Signal light indications between stations can be accomplished through the use of
additional conductors or can be carried on the main voice pair via tone frequencies sent above or
below the speech frequency range. Multiple channels of simultaneous conversations can be
carried over additional conductors within a cable multiple channels can easily be carried by
packed switch digital intercom signals.
Portable intercoms are connected primarily using common shielded, twisted pair microphone cabling
terminated with 3-pin XLR connectors. Building and vehicle intercoms are connected in a similar manner
with shielded cabling often containing more than one twisted pair.
Four-wire intercom
Intercom systems are widely used in TV stations and outside broadcast
vehicles such as those seen at sporting events or entertainment venues.
There are essentially two different types of intercoms used in the
television world: two-wire party line or four-wire matrix systems. In the
beginning, TV stations would simply build their own communication
systems using old phone equipment. However, today there are several
manufacturers offering off-the-shelf systems. From the late 70's until
the mid 90's the two-wire party line type systems were the most popular, primarily due to the
technology that was available at the time. The two channel variety used a 32 Volt impedance
generating central power supply to drive external stations or belt packs. This type of format allowed
the two channels to operate in standard microphone cable, a feature highly desired by the
broadcasters. These systems were very robust and simple to design, maintain and operate but had
limited capacity and flexibility as they were usually hardwired. A typical user on the system could
not choose who to talk to. He would communicate with the same person or group of people until
the system was manually reconfigured to allow communication with a different group of people.
Two-wire routers or source assignment panels were then implemented to allow quick re-routing of
a two-wire circuit. This reconfiguration was usually handled at a central location, but because
voltage is used on the circuit to power the external user stations as well as communicate, there
would usually be a pop when the channels were switched. So while one could change the system
on-the-fly, it was usually not desirable to do so in the middle of a production, as the popping noise
would distract to the rest of the production crew.
All signal and alarm system have their own specific function and uses which the purpose and need of its user.
Deciding which of this device will be used can easily be done if you have basic knowledge of the feature and
components of each device in installing this kind of circuit.
Wireless intercom
For installations where it is not desirable or possible to run wires to support an intercom system, there are
wireless intercom systems available. There are two major benefits of a wireless intercom system over the
traditional wired intercom. The first is that installation is much easier since no wires have to be run between
intercom units. The second is that you can easily move the units at any time. Other wireless devices such as
cordless telephones, wireless data networks, and remote audio speakers can interfere if they are near the
intercom. Electrical devices such as motors, lighting fixtures and transformers can cause noise. There may be
concerns about privacy since conversations may be picked up on a scanner, baby monitor, cordless phone, or
a similar device on the same frequency. Encrypted wireless intercoms can reduce or eliminate privacy risks
and placement, installation, construction, grounding and shielding methods can reduce or eliminate the
detrimental effects of external interference. The United States and Canada have several frequency ranges for
wireless intercom systems and other wireless products. They are 49MHz, FM band (200KH - 270KHz), 494-
608 MHz, 900MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, and MURS (150 MHz). There are also power line communication units
that send signal over house wiring that have been referred to as wireless intercoms.
