A 3-wire, 240 volt, single phase motor would require two overloads; one for each "hot" current carrying conductor.

There are many types of overload protection these days and all are based on the FLA (full load amps) of the motor.


What is the conclusion of overheat protection of induction motor?

If the overload protection is set correctly to the motors full load amperage, any overloading of the motor will trip the protection and take the motor off line. Once the reason of the overload has been established and rectified, the overload protection is reset and the motor can be brought back on line.

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.

What will cause a star delta panel to trip in delta?

On a star delta starter a motor overload or a motor going to ground and cause a short circuit will cause the overload protection to trip. These overloads have to be reset before the motor can be restarted.


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.
