How do you set thermal overload?
Thermal Overload Relay setting = 100\% x Full Load Current (Line).
- Thermal Overload Relay setting = 100\% x Full Load Current (Line).
- Thermal Overload Relay setting = 100\%x6 = 6 Amp.
How do you set the overload setting on a motor?
The overloads are determined using 125\% of the FLA, 7A x 1.25 = 8.75A. The maximum allowable size for the overloads is 9.8A. The overloads can be sized at 140\% of the FLA if the overloads trip at rated load or will not allow the motor to start, 7A x 1.4 = 9.8A.
How do you adjust an engine protection relay?
To set this element we have to identify the \% of Full load current on which the motor is running continuously. The range available for this element is 1 to 5 times of starting current. Time delay is also available. We normally set it at 2 times of starting current with a time delay of 0.1 second.
How do I select A star Delta contactor?
Size of Star Contactor =33\%x13 = 4 Amp. Size of Main Contactor (Starting-Transition-Running) = 58\%X Full Load Current (Line). Size of Main Contactor =58\%x13 = 8 Amp. Size of Delta Contactor (Running Condition) = 58\%X Full Load Current (Line).
How do you calculate thermal overload protection on a motor?
The overload protection is sized per the motor nameplate current rating, not the motor full load current (FLC) rating. Thus, 60A×1.25=75A. Overload protection shall not exceed 75A, so you need to use a 70A dual-element fuse [240.6(A) and 430.32(A)(1)].
What is a thermal relay used for?
Thermal relays are protective electrical appliances used for overload protection of motors or other electrical equipment and electrical circuits.
How do electronic overload relays work?
The overload relay is wired in series with the motor, so the current that flows to the motor when the motor is operating also flows through the overload relay. It will trip at a certain level when there is excess current flowing through it. This causes the circuit between the motor and the power source to open.
Why thermal overload relay is used in motor protection system?
The function of a thermal overload relay, used in motor starter circuits is to prevent the motor from drawing excessive current which is harmful to motor insulation. It is connected either directly to motor lines or indirectly through current transformers.
