When you see the term “thermal protection” or “thermally protected” used in the description of an electric motor, it refers to a device found within the motor or motor compressor that is designed to prevent dangerous overheating that can cause motor failure.Click to see full answer. Similarly one may ask, how does thermal protection in a motor work?Thermal protection is a method of fan motor protection that is activated when a motor operating at the rated voltage locks up for some reason with the power still being supplied. It uses a thermal relay inside the motor to break the circuit to the winding coil at a temperature below the level that would cause burning. what is a thermal overload protector? Thermal overload relays are economic electromechanical protection devices for the main circuit. They offer reliable protection for motors in the event of overload or phase failure. The thermal overload relay can make up a compact starting solution together with contactors. Keeping this in consideration, what is motor protection? Motor protection is used to prevent damage to the electrical motor, such as internal faults in the motor. Also external conditions when connecting to the power grid or during use have to be detected and abnormal conditions must be prevented.How do you check motor overload? To run the test perform the following steps: Turn the FLA dial back to its proper setting and let the motor run for at least 5 minutes. Open the contact(or) while the motor is running and start a timer. The overload should trip in around 3 seconds, or within 10 seconds maximum.
