Why does my AC single phase motor run for a while then stop?

Look on thew nameplate of the motor to see if it is thermally protected. This means that there is overload protection on the inside of the motor next to the windings. If the temperature rises in these windings the motor will trip off line and stop. Once the motor cools down the thermal overload device will reset and the motor will start again the next time you try it. As the answer states below reduce the load. <<>> How about over heating. To much load caused by bad bearings. Simply to much load.


What is a type 1 circuit breaker?

type 1 is auto reset it cools off and turns back on Type 2 is power off reset turn power off it will reset type 3 is manual reset you must turn it off and back on This is the safest. The only one I would ever use. Fuses are far better the contacts cant weld shut with extreme overload you know something is wrong so you can see if you mowed the cord with the lawnmower tossed the blender in the sink circuit breakers work when something goes badly wrong type 1 and 2 decide that some magic fairey has corrected the problem and its ok to apply full power again


What is a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city.Types:MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)-rated current not more than 100 A. Trip characteristics normally not adjustable. Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation. Breakers illustrated above are in this category.MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker)-rated current up to 2500 A. Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation. Trip current may be adjustable in larger ratings.Fuses - These come in various sizes and make ups. The downside is most fuses need replacing after tripping.


Does a star delta timer rely on the breaking of the retaining contacts on the star contactor side?

The N.C. (timed open) contacts in the star delta timer energize the star contactor's coil when the system is energized. At the same instant the system is energized, the timer starts to time down the required time which lets the motor get up to speed in the star configuration. When the timer reaches the set point time, a second set of N.O. (timed closed) contacts close the delta contactor's coil and open the N.C. timed contacts of star contactor's coil. The motor now runs in the delta configuration. When the system is de energized the timer contact's reset to its de energized state.


What are two methods used in most circuit breakers to protect electrical circuits?

There is a heated bimetallic strip that provides a time delay small overload protection. When its contact makes, it energizes a coil to trip the breaker. Some breakers are mechanical, though. There is a coil that trips the breaker instantly on large overload.
