Want this question answered?
A device with an overload protection used to control a motor is an Overload Relay.
No
an internal overload is based off of heat.High heat=overload opens.Heat has to dissapate and motor cool to safe temp before internal contacts will close.
The definition of a motor vehicle motor vehicle. (Engineering / Automotive Engineering) a road vehicle driven by a motor or engine, esp an internal-combustion engine.
due to the extension of loads they are using the relays for protection.........
It depends on what your definition of a normal relay is. If it is a small plug in relay to control the motor's contactor then there is no point. All pump motors need control to start and stop the pump. Whether it is done from a pressure switch or a float system it doesn't matter they both should control the motor's contactor and not the pump directly. Most small relays do not have the amp capacity in their contacts to handle inductive loads. Using a motor contactor also has the benefit to protect the motor with overload protection. Using the overload contacts in series with the control device allows the pump to go off line should an overload occur.
overload heater is used to protect a large electric motor. If the overload heater get too hot from excessive current. its nomally-closed overload contacts wil open. interruptting the circiut of powe supply of motor
There are many types of overload protection these days and all are based on the FLA (full load amps) of the motor.
The maximum overload on a three-phase motor can be calculated using the formula: Maximum Overload = (Full Load Amps / 100) x Percentage Overload Where Full Load Amps is the rated current of the motor at full load, and Percentage Overload is the desired amount of overload.
It is protection installed to protect, usually motors, from going beyond the amperage capacities that were set down by the manufacturer's specifications of the motor. As a motor loads up to its rated HP it will operate within the motors amperage range. More loading on the motor will increase the amperage draw to a point where the motor's winding will start to burn or short out due to insulation breakdown of the motor coils. Over load protection is a settable device that will limit the current to a specific value. The setting on the over current device is the motor's FLA (full load amps). If the motor amperage goes higher that the set point the overload protection, the overload protection contacts will open and drop the motor's magnetic contactor off line. In some cases this could be an annoyance but it does save the motor from destroying itself.
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.
All motor currents flowing through either the forward or reverse contactors must flow through the overload device before going to the motor.
