Motor Protection Example
Figure 2-64 illustrates an example of a complete motor protection characteristic. Such characteristic usually
consists of different protection elements, and each element is responsible for special motor malfunctions.
These are:
•
Thermal overload protection: to avoid overheating of the motor due to inadmissible load
•
Load jam protection: to prevent overheating and mechanical damage due to a locked rotor
•
Motor starting protection: protects the motor against prolonged startup procedures and the consequent
thermal overload of the rotor
•
Overcurrent and high-current elements: for motor shutdown due to electrical faults
