Principle of ope ration
1. This circuit is designed to operate should a singl e fault occur, i.e.
(a) Only one relay will stick in the closed position.
(b) Only one normally open contact will be weld closed.
(c) If either fault should occur, then this will be detected when the reset button is
operated.
2. Assume for example the emergency stop button was pressed due to the occurrence
of an equipment breakdown. The problem has now been rectified, the emergency
stop circuit is remade and the system is about to be restarted.
3. The reset push button is now operated.
4. Relay R3 will now operate via the normally closed contacts of R1b and
