7.2 Locked Rotor Unit
The Locked Rotor Unit (L.R) has a main function of protecting the rotor of
a motor as opposed to the Overload (OL) which protects the stator of the motor.
In providing protection, the
S2E21
simulates temperature rises of the
stator
and rotor in a motor independently because each has different thermal
characteristics.
For the load currents that are below about 2.5 times the rated current, the
heat of the motor is produced mainly by the
stator,
and for higher load
currents, the rotor produces most of the heat,
For this reason. the S2E21 performs the temperature rise simulation for the
rotor as follows:
