| protections must be chosen based on the
specific running conditions, according to
standards EN 60204-1.
|
 |
Protection for motors with a shaft power
greater than or equal to 0.5 kW with
continuous S1 service. This protection
may be achieved by means of a thermal
cut-out relay, which automatically control
a knife switch. |
 |
protection against peak currents by
magnetic relay that controls an automatic knife switch, or by fuses;
these must be set to the locked rotor current. |
 |
if the application requires, protection
against excessive speed of the electric, for example if the mechanical
load may drive the electric motor itself and thereby create a hazardous
situation. |
 |
If special conditions or synchronised
operation with other machines or parts of machines require it, protection
against power failures or dips by means of a minimum voltage relay
that controls an automatic power knife switch. |
The electrical protections on the motor
power line may not be sufficient to protect
against overloads. If the cooling conditions
worsen, the motor overheats but the
electrical conditions do not change, which
inhibits line protections. Installing built-in
protections on the windings solves
this problem:

PTO bimetallic device
this is a normally-closed electromechanical
device that opens electrically when the
threshold temperature is reached; it
automatically resets when the temperature
falls below the threshold level. Bimetallic
devices are available with various
intervention temperatures and without
automatic reset, per EN 60204-1. |
 |
PTC thermistor device
this device promptly, positively adjusts
its resistance once the threshold
temperature is reached. motive
motors from type 160 to type 355L
are equipped with 3 PTC thermistors
in the winding, with temperature
intervention of 150°C in Class F
motors (standard), or 180°C in H
Class motors. |
 |
PT100 device
this is a device that continuously,
increasingly adjusts its resistance
according to the temperature. It is useful
for constant measuring of the
winding temperatures using electronic
equipment. |
