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.
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 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.
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.
How do you calculate 3 phase motor overload relay setting?

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
If a three phase motor loses one leg will it turn backwards before it burns up?
If a three phase motor loses one leg it will do neither of what you suggest. To change the rotation of a three phase motor any two motor leads must be interchanged. When one leg of a three phase system goes down it is said to be single phasing. The overload protection on the motor senses the higher current on the other two legs and trips the overload heaters. This in turn drops the contactor open and disconnects the motor from the supply.
