What is the purpose of running overload protection for a three phase motor?
An electrical circuit is designed to carry a certain amount of energy, or voltage. The flow of energy, called a current, should travel through the path from one point to the other unimpeded. If that current is interrupted, it causes what is commonly known as a short circuit. If an electrical system is designed properly, overload protection kicks in to stop the flow of energy until the source of the interruption is removed.
How do you calculate 3 phase power for a motor that draws 22 amps per leg it is a 480 3 phase motor do you use 480 x 22 or 277 x 22?
1.73*480*22
What measures should you take in order to rewind a motor for three phase?
Remove the motor from the system. Get the motor rewound at a motor rewinding shop. Replace the motor back into the system. While the motor is at the rewind shop find out why the motor burnt out. The first thing that should be checked is the overload protection. Make sure that is is the same as the motors full load amps.
How do you check single phase motor winding?
Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.
How do you determine a 3 phase motor and each winding?
To see if the motor is three phase or single phase look at the motor's nameplate. There it will tell you what the voltage needs to be and what system phase the motor needs to be connected to operate properly.
How do you make correct setting for overload of a 3 phase motor?
125 percent of full current rating of the motor
Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
If you have a three phase motor with 400 v supply and 0.65 ka what the overload?
Any value over .65kA will be classed as an overload.
Where would power factor capacitors be installed on a 3 phase motor?
Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.
Will 3 phase AC motor stay running if you remove 1 phase?
Yes but it will not start. Usually if you lose one phase the current will go higher on the other phases and the motor overload protection will disconnect the motor from the supply voltage.
Will a 3 phase motor work on grounded B phase?
If the motor is connected to an ungrounded delta supply service there will be no effect on the operation of the motor. If the motor is connected to a wye system supply service and the B phase grounds out, the motor's overload protection would take the motor off line from the electrical supply.
How to test a motor Thermal protection?
depend on to existence of test equepment. if we have a single phase injection current and we want test the thermal overload we have to do serie the heater and inject current two time of thier setting.
What happen If one phase of the three phase induction motor is not supplied?
If the motor was lightly loaded it may continue to run, however in most applications the loss of the phase would cause the motor to stop. Properly wired and it should trip the motor overload device and prevent damage to the motor windings.
How do you calculate the number of turns that are required for the coils of three phase AC motor?
There is software that can be downloaded to help calculate the number of turns for a three phase motor. There are also diagrams which can be found for the most frequently used calculations.
What are the calculation for overload relay for three phase motor?
If a motor 3 phase or single phase goes above the full load amps that is on the nameplate of the motor then it is in overload condition. This is usually caused by trying to drive machinery with less horsepower that the manufacturer recommends To protect the motor from this condition overload heaters are put in series with the supply voltage and the motor leads. If the current from the motor draws more that the motor's nameplate FLA then the overload heater opens the supply voltage through use of a motor contactor. The contactor can not be closed again until the motor overload heaters cool down and by the same token the motor gets a chance to cool down. This condition is rectified by either using a bigger HP rated motor or lowering the load on the machinery that the motor is driving.
Assuming that the listed exception do not apply the NEC states that the minimum number of overload units required for a three-phase alternating current motor shall be?
Each leg of a three phase motor must have overload protection. There is no minimum. Older magnetic contactors used to only protect two legs but occasions arose out of this configuration that would cause the motor to single phase on an overload condition. The code was changed to stop this condition from happening so now all three legs must be protected.
Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
