Motor Protection
Our wide range of motor protection relays are designed for motor applications where efficiency and reliability are essential. From simple or basic protection to advanced motor protection applications, they use dedicated functions and communication like IEC 61850 that enable you to manage motor more effectively and prevent any time delay.
What is motor protection used for?Motor protection is designed to prevent damage to an electrical motor and protect against incidence caused by a defective motor. The motor may result in escalating the problem by spreading back into the grid. A defective motor internal faults include abnormal motor speeds are usually caused by overloads, short circuits, decrease or disappearance of voltage. Motor protection is mainly used to manage and protect synchronous and asynchronous motors. They can also be used for circuit breakers for stopping the electric current as a safety measure.
Types of motor protectionDifferent motor installations require different sorts of protection. These protections range from overload protection, low voltage protection, phase failure protection, phase reverse protection, and ground fault protection. However, every kind of motor protection uses devices like fuses and electric relays to break the circuit to protect the electrical distribution system.
