Contactors are equipped with contacts intended to connect high current loads to the power line; these large contacts are called ____________________ contacts.

The double acting push button has two terminal screws.

The conductor size, fuse or circuit breaker size, and overload size are generally determined using the ____________________ Code® and/or local codes.

Some motors can draw up to 600 percent of rated full load current during starting.

Fuses and circuit breakers are generally employed for ____________________ protection.

Auxiliary contacts are intended to control large amounts of current.

One of the main considerations when installing a machine is the power source.

The movable contact of the normally open held closed switch is drawn below the stationary contact.

Thermal overload relays trip faster when located in a cool area than in a warm area.

One common use for the normally open set of contacts on an overload relay is to provide an input signal to a programmable logic controller (PLC).
