why do we use magnetic contactors ?circuit breakers are not enough?..

Answer / sunthosh080

Usually the mechanical life of the contactors will in
millions times and they are very easy to control and
operate. Other breakers are large in size and difficult to
control when compared. Also the opening & closing time will
be very less for contactors and in case of any short
circuits contactors can be easily repaired.

Answer / amit biswas

magnetic contractor is more of a sequence swiitcing device
while later is aprotection device.

even the contractrs on papers can perform the operation of
a cb.But to my cognizance I had never seen any contracor at
HT level

every time a c b operates it required to chare the spring
manually (or motor but with manual interferance) which is
not in case of contractors

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE
