The circuit in a short-circuit test.

Explore faults before wiring

A 4 kW conveyor on a 400 V supply needs forward and reverse operation. Holger Peschke shows how AI prepares a reversing contactor circuit and explores fault scenarios in the schematic: both buttons pressed together, a bypassed auxiliary contact and missing interlocks. A design for star-delta starting of a 22 kW fan follows.

AImation’s own development demonstration. Fault scenarios are explored only in the model, not on a physically wired installation. The AI findings and sizing shown do not constitute a standards review or technical approval. A qualified electrical professional must review the circuit, protective measures and assumptions for the specific application.

Published: . Part 2 of the electrical engineering series. This episode uses a conveyor and a fan as its own examples.
