Is the air switch broken?

First try whether the air switch can be turned on and off, if the mechanical part is normal. Then proceed to the next step, find a multimeter, measure the on-off state of the switch, power on the switch if possible, and check whether there is voltage at the lower port after the switch is turned on and off, and whether the voltage is normal.

Under normal circumstances, the armature of the overcurrent release is released; In case of serious overload or short circuit fault, the coil connected in series with the main circuit will generate strong electromagnetic attraction, which will attract the armature downwards and push the unlocking hook to disconnect the main contact.

The working principle of undervoltage release is just the opposite. When the voltage is normal, electromagnetic attraction attracts the armature and the main contact is closed. Once the voltage drops seriously or the power is cut off, the armature is released and the main contact is disconnected. When the power supply voltage returns to normal, it must be switched on again to work, thus realizing voltage loss protection.
