Air compressor wiring diagram:

This diagram shows how to make an Air compressor wiring diagram. In this circuit, we use a TP MCB ( Tripple Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker ), an SP MCB ( Single Pole Minature Circuit Breaker ), a magnetic contactor with overload, and an air compressor. This circuit is very simple and easy to make. If you want to know more about this circuit please check our youtube video below the post.

Components used to make the Air compressor wiring:

01. TP MCB:

The full meaning of MCB is Miniature Circuit Breaker. MCB is an electromagnetic switch or device. If for any reason a short circuit occurs in the supply line or load line (line to line or line to neutral) or in case of overload, the MCB automatically trips and disconnects the main line circuit or household power Connection. TP MCB In Three Pole MCB, Switching & Protection is affected in only Three-Phases and the Neutral is not part of the MCB. 3 pole MCB signifies the Connection of Three Wires for a Three-Phase system R-Y-B Phase. Three-Phase Supply Only Without Neutral.

02. SP MCB:

In single-pole MCB, Switching & Protection is Affected in only one Phase. Single phase supply to break the phase only. A single Pole breaker is Typically used with 120-volt Circuits, 15-20 amps. They are constructed with one Hot Wire and one Neutral wire. An SP switch is the most basic General-Purpose switch that you use to Control a light or another device from one location. These Switches have two Brass-Colored screw Terminals Connected to the hot Power source wires. Pole refers to the number of Circuits Controlled by the Switch SP Switches Control only one Electrical Circuit.

03. Air Compressor:

Air is Compressed by air Compressors. Air Compressors draw in Air at an Inlet Valve, They Then Compress The Air to The Required Volume And Release The Pressurized air through the discharge Valve into a Storage Tank. Air Compressors Work by Forcing Atmospheric air Under Pressure to Create Potential Energy That Can be Stored in a Tank for Later use. Just like an Open Balloon, The Pressure Builds up When the Compressed air is Deliberately Released, Converting The Potential Energy into Usable Kinetic Energy.

04. Magnetic Contactor:

A magnetic contactor is an electromagnetic switching device. It is generally used for controlling three-phase motors. The operation of a magnetic contactor is similar to that of a relay, but a relay is used for low-power or low-voltage connections, and a magnetic contactor is used for high-power or high-voltage connections. As soon as the supply is applied to the magnetic contactor coil, its normally open contacts are closed and normally closed contacts are opened and the associated devices are also operated. This is how a magnetic contactor works.

05. Overload Relay:

Overload Protection is Protection Against a Running Overcurrent That Would Cause Overheating of The Protected Equipment. Hence, An Overload is Also a Type of Overcurrent. Overload Protection Typically Operates on an Inverse Time curve where the Tripping Time Becomes less as the Current Increases. This Overload Protector is an Essential Component for Many Sockets. The Top-Quality Overload Protector can Effectively Protect Electrical Products from Power Surges.
