AC motor protection device

As we know,motor protection is one of the important criteria when we involve for AC motor installation,wiring and termination works.Commonly magnetic contactor,fuse, Molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and overload relays are used for motor control device of induction motor. In general ideal for motor protection,it have two basic protections always installed for every motor are Over-load protection and Short-circuit protection.For [...]

Determining electric motor load and efficiency

As we known,the electric motor is the one of important equipment to drive the operation smoothly from beginning to end of product. Electricity cost normally around 60% came from electric motor running.It become more worth if installed motors are oversized,low efficiency,under design,poor maintenance or mismatched. So to know the actual motor performance, we need to determine [...]

Sizing for magnetic contactor

When we design or replaced the magnetic contactor for motor starter or for others application,the important point is how to sizing the size of magnetic contactor.This is critical point because if we not sizing properly,it can cause a serious damage and our application maybe failure to perform in perfect condition. This time i want  shared [...]

Types of motor overload relay

A motor overload relay is an electro-mechanical relay that is operated by heat developed in the relay.When the level of current in a circuit reaches a preset value, the increased temperature opens a set of contacts. Overload relay should install in our motor starter application for extra protection.Overload relay can avoid serious damage for electric [...]

Protective Device Introduction

What is protective device introduction? Electrical distribution systems are often quite complicated. They  cannot be absolutely fail-safe. Circuits are subject to destructive overcurrents. Harsh environments, general deterioration, accidental damage or damage from natural causes, excessive expansion or overloading of the electrical distribution system are factors which contribute to the occurrence of such overcurrent.
