what is Potential free contact? where it is used?

Answer / abdelrahman
Potential free contacts (also called "dry contacts") are
simply contacts which are physically operated with the main
device, but not electrically connected to it. For example a
motor contactor often has auxiliary contacts that are
operated by the main coil and open and close at the same
time as the main contacts but are not used for control of
the motor starter. If they are connected to an outside
circuit to indicate the status of the starter without being
powered by the motor supply they would be considered
potential free contacts.
These type also called Signal-Contacts.
In case of relays and switches if the common/pole is
connected internally to a given potential like a 110V phase
etc., the contact is not POTENTIAL FREE but if both the
common and the normall open (and at time also the normally
closed) contacts are presented to the user for connecting
in his system as he pleases,the contact is said to
be "potential-free".

Answer / mithilesh kumar
in Potential free contact cable not present voltage.
but it's also depends upon resistance.
in this cable are in line then this 1-2 ohm resistance is
permissible.
any comment u welcome.
good luck

My question may be very basic or childish but this question still persists in me, someone plz help me 1.why do we go for differential equations to analyze a system? 2.why do we solve it using matrices, is there any specific reason for using matrices other than the stories like it is simple,faster etc.
