Question 1

How do jogging circuits work?

Accepted Answer

As with many other types of control circuits, there are different ways in which jogging can be accomplished but, basically, jogging is accomplished by preventing the holding contact from sealing the circuit around the start push button when the motor starter energizes. It should also be noted that jogging circuits require special motor starters rated for jogging duty.
