Welcome, I'd like to know if cutting the power to the motor of an external roller shutter via a limit switch (once the roller shutter has reached the very top or the very bottom) cuts the power completely? I am referring to the power consumption of the roller shutter - if I leave the roller...

If the limit switch is open, how does this current flow then?

Nothing is in the motor being loaded, what ideas are these. Even if the control system and in fact its power supply would need to be in stand by, there is no way any voltage could be applied to the motors then. There was no need to throw stones at the school then when they talked about it. It would have stayed in the head and there would have been no silly thoughts.

Yes , the roller shutter control continuously draws current . However , when the motor is not running this current is minimal ( the meter does not spin ) .

Or it does not, depending on the type of control used.

. The current then does not flow through the motor , but some current is drawn by the standby system ( if there is control via remote control ). Well fact , direct push button control , does not download .

Thank you for your answers. Unfortunately I don't know the model of the roller shutter motor. The control button is the most ordinary three-position one - up + stop + down, without any automation, and without the Simon54 DZW1K.01/11 remote control. I was wondering if if I leave the button in the UP position permanently, will any current flow when disconnected by the limit switch. If there would be current flowing, it would mean that something is being loaded in the motor and it is unlikely to be good for it.

Does the limit switch on external roller shutters completely cut off the current?

Welcome,

I'd like to know if cutting the power to the motor of an external roller shutter via a limit switch (once the roller shutter has reached the very top or the very bottom) cuts the power completely? I am referring to the power consumption of the roller shutter - if I leave the roller shutter control button pressed all the way down, the roller shutter reaches the very top, will the limit switch stop the motor, or will the roller shutter still draw any power?

Thank you.

Nothing is "in the motor being loaded", what ideas are these.

Topic summary

The discussion addresses whether the limit switch on external roller shutters completely cuts off electrical current to the motor when the shutter reaches its upper or lower limit. It is confirmed that while the motor control circuit may continuously draw a minimal standby current, the motor itself does not receive power once the limit switch opens. The exact current flow depends on the control system type; direct push-button controls without remote automation typically do not draw current when the motor is stopped by the limit switch. Concerns about potential motor loading or damage due to current flow when the button is held in the "up" position are unfounded, as no voltage is applied to the motor once the limit switch interrupts the circuit.
