Draw a ladder logic control circuit for the electric motor of an air compressor, controlled by two pressure switches: one switch turns the motor on when the pressure falls to 80 PSI, while the other switch turns the motor off when the pressure rises to 105 PSI:

Draw Electric Motor Ladder Logic

Be sure to include the overload (OL) contact in the 120 volt control circuit (L1 & L2), and include a manual on/off switch as well.

Answer :

Motor ladder Logic
