FIG. 20–23

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Calculate the number of control wires required to control the three-phase motor in Figure 20–23.

Explanation of Solution

The 3 wires are connected to the externally operated disconnect switch, and the switch is connected to pull box through 3 wires. Four wires are used to connect stations 1 and 2. Four wires and three wires are used to connect station 2 and station 3 to pull box, respectively. The pull box is connected to motor starter using 6 wires, and finally, starter is connected to a three-phase motor using 3 wires. Redraw the given figure with the representation of the required control wires as shown in Figure 1.
