SWITCHING
Normally off type
clutches operate on D.C.
voltage, hence A.C. to
D.C. conversion is done
by means of a suitable
rectifier.
Switching of the clutch
can be on either side.
However, once
application demands,
higher switching
frequency / faster
engagement and
disengagement time,
switching must be
carried out on D.C.
side. To restrict the
high inductive voltage /
back EMF a suitable
supressor and capacitor
network is provided
across the contactor
coil. |
