What melts if the current in an electric circuit gets too high?
Anything that is in contact with the medium conducting the over-current. In an ideal situation a breaker should trip or a fuse should blow. If not wire insulation can melt, the wire itself can melt or various components can either melt or burn outright. Sq D used a motor overload heater that was used on its motor overload contactor. It was designed as a ratchet on the end of a shaft that was inserted in a barrel on the body of the overload. A melting alloy held the shaft in the barrel. The ratchet on the end of the shaft held a spring loaded contact in the closed position. The body of the overload was bolted in series with the load terminal on the output side of the contactor. When the motor load current heated the overload protection device above its trip point, the alloy melted allowing the shaft to turn in the barrel portion of the overload heater. Being spring loaded the ratchet turned from the spring pressure and opened the normally closed contact thereby opening the magnetics coil circuit, dropping the contactor open and shutting the motor off.
What is transient overload?
Sustained overload is overload that is continuous, or permanent. A resistive load is a good example. This is the kind of overload you get from simply plugging too many items into a circuit. Transient overload is overload generated by a reactive load, a momentary short circuit, or other temporary condition. An example of a reactive load is the compressor of an air conditioner starting. This kind of overload can be caused by a reactive load being added to an already moderately loaded circuit.
When was Overload - Overload album - created?
Overload - Overload album - was created in 2006.
What is the difference between overload trip and over current trip. if there is an overload trip the current will be raised above the set point?
An overload trip is due to too much load on a circuit (for example, my wife running a hair dryer and portable heater on the same outlet). An over current trip is the same thing, but it can also refer to an actual fault condition where conductors have come in contact with eachother/shorted.
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.
