How does a thermal overload control a circuit when the phase short to ground?
If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.
What is thermal overload?
The load current is made to flow through the thermal overload relay, which is actually a bimetalic strip. Beyond a prespecified current the bimetalic strip tend to deflect due to heat (thermal effect) thus cutting off the circuit and hence it acts as an over load relay protection.
Overload Trip Class - What does it really mean?
Quite often we here of applications in which the motor protection/overload relay 'trips' during motor starting. The remedial action taken by many when faced with this problem is to select and install a replacement overload relay, generally one that provides a higher 'Trip Class' setting, for example, Trip Class 20 in lieu of the standard Trip Class 10.Note: The appears to be a general misconception in industry that Overload Trip Class relates directly to the starting time of a machine. This is not the case.All due care must be taken when selecting a protection relay offering higher Trip Class, as this can result in under protection and subsequent failure of the motor.To select an overload relay with a more suitable trip class, you must in the first instance obtain data relating to the motor's thermal withstand capabilities. That is, you need to know how many seconds (from cold condition) the motor can the sustain Locked Rotor Current before it is compromised.This information is readily available from most leading manufacturers of motors and is generally provided in one of two formats.a) Specific values for Locked Rotor Current and maximum Locked Rotor Time (from 'cold condition' ) are given.b) A Motor Thermal Withstand Curve is provided.With this information available to you, you can refer to the tables given in IEC 60947 to identify the most appropriate Overload Trip Class. This is defined as the one that provides a trip curve as close as possible to but below the overload curve of the motor. Adopting this process will ensure nuisance tripping is minimised and that the motor is adequately protected at all times.Note: If the above processes are adopted but the trip conditions continue, there are 4 possible causes.1. The motor (and overload relay) are not given sufficient time to cool between starts.2. Assuming reduced voltage start (star/delta, auto-transformer, primary resistance, soft start etc., the motor is not delivering torque sufficient to accelerate the connected load to speed. That is the starting current and starting time under RVS conditions exceeds that permissible by the overload curve.3. A more advanced protection strategy such as motor thermal modelling may be required. Motor thermal modelling allows the user to 'match' the curves of the protection device to the connected motor. This is of particular advantage when the motors thermal withstand capabilities and the start condition (starting current and starting time) fall between two curves defined by standard overload trip classes.4. The motor is simply too small for the application.Put simply, the most appropriate protection strategy is the one that allows the motor to be fully utilised without nuisance tripping or fear of motor burn-out.
How do you troubleshoot a thermal overload relay?
Ideally an overload relay should be set above maximum load by some small amount, but below the capability of the electrical circuits being protected. For example, breakers in your home are designed for overload protection; typical home wiring is 14 awg - 12 awg. If you have a 14 awg wire (good for 15A), you may install a 10A breaker, but if needed could install a 15A breaker depending on codes. A 20A breaker would not provide overload protection since it is too big. It would provide fault protection.

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.

How do you check the thermal overload protection?
multimeter from 1 end to the other.
How do you check tripping of thermal overload relay?
there is a bi metalic strip is thre in thermal overload relay so when the currtent is high then its settings so that strip bend due to thermal and it touches the other side of the contact so when u touch the tester on that side u will find that its overload if u dont under stand contact me......
How lt motors are protected?
Motors are protected in two ways. Against a short circuit by fuses or breakers. Against overload by thermal overload heaters.
How is thermal Energy Controlled?
with a thermostat

What Types of equipment use thermal overload protection?
All types electromechanical and electronics. It is a design precaution to insure that cannot be any thermal runaway
What is Thermal setting plastic?
Thermal setting plastic is plastic that can only be heated once and then set into the shape needed
Are recessed lights thermally protected?
Yes, all recessed lights have thermal protection, normally a bi-metal thermal overload. They must be to receive a U.L., (Underwriters Laboratories) approval sticker and be allowed to be sold in the U.S. The overload works on heat, not current, so that if you say put a 200 watt lamp into a fixture rated for 60 watt maximum, the overload will overheat and open the circuit.
How is thermal overload protection done in stator windings of motor?
one way is to use RTD sensor put inside the motor windings. The RTD sensor is connected to an electronic thermal overload relay. This type of relay can provide running temperature of the motor, on the electronic thermal over load relay display panel. RTD sensor is a wire wound resistor that changes resistance depending on the temperature
