电机过载保护基础.ppt

* In summary, when applying traditional thermal overload relays we are protecting against the damage that occurs when current increases within the motor. Traditional overload relays for lack of better terminology is a reactive device responding to the over current situation. When conditions like phase losses occur, the overload relay reacts to the increase in current and not the condition itself. Some overload relays have some inherent features, such as ambient temperature compensation (in the case of the bimetal overload relay) and inherent adjustment security (that is associated with replaceable heater elements). * Although the most common method used today of protecting a motor is the overload heater, The use of solid state (electronics) products is increasing rapidly. NEMA applications are dominated by the eutectic style of overloads but IEC is dominated by solid state overloads. The electronic overload functions on the same basic principle as the overload heater; namely monitoring the current in the motor directly by measuring the current in the power lines of the motor. As with other solid state products there are no moving parts in the overload protection section but there are a few parts in the trip mechanism. Allen-Bradley has a complete line of solid state overloads including devices which have on board communications. This broad line covers both NEMA and IEC versions which represent an unrivaled assortment of flexible motor protective devices. We will hear more details about the product offerings, later. * The E1 Plus builds on the strength of the previous generation product, offering increased advantages to general use applications. Characterized by refined motor protection, its flexible design and robust construction, the E1 Plus sets a new standard for entry level electronic overload relays. * * In summary, the options provided by solid-state range from basic overload protection all the way to programmable proactive protection with communicat
