Symbols for Pressure ontrols Low pressure control In actual operation As the system pressure falls the fall in pressure causes the bellows to deflate the deflated bellows pulls down on the arm the arm opens the contacts 27
Symbols for Pressure ontrols High pressure control In actual operation As the system pressure rises the rise in pressure causes the bellows to inflate the inflated bellows raises the arm the raised arm opens the contacts 28
Fuses and Overloads Symbols for safety devices, such as fuses and overloads, are usually shown closed 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E1#4 Symbols and Wiring Diagrams v1.1 29
Safety Device Symbols Bimetal overload: High heat and high amperage open this overload switch. Thermal overload relay: Excessive amperage heats the thermal element, which opens the switch. Magnetic overload relay: Excessive amperage creates a magnetic field, which opens the switch. 30
