Any overload current is sensed by the: Any overload current is sensed by the:   A) starter coil. B) control contact M. C) OL coils. D) OL contact.

A) starter coil.
B) control contact M.
C) OL coils.
D) OL contact.

Overload Current

A condition in which a current exceeds the maximum limit that electrical components or circuits are designed to handle safely.

Starter Coil

A component in an electric motor or other electromechanical system that helps initiate the system’s operation, often by creating a magnetic field that activates a mechanism.

OL Coils

In the context of electrical or control systems, this likely refers to "Overload Coils", which are part of overload protection devices in motors and other equipment to prevent overcurrent situations.

  • Explain the concept of overloading protection and its components within electrical circuits.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
OL coils (Overload coils) are specifically designed to sense overload currents and activate protective measures such as shutting off the circuit. The starter coil (A) is responsible for energizing the motor and does not have the capability to sense overload currents. Control contact M (B) is a general-purpose contact and does not have a specific function related to overload protection. OL contact (D) is a contact that is opened or closed based on the state of the OL coil and does not sense overload currents on its own.
