Hi,
Ime italy havve just brought out a new bit of kit, that might be usefull to keep inside the spanish load limits http://www.imeitaly.com/docs/NT752.pdf it consists of a load monitor and contactor in the same unit, if the total connected load exceeds a certain limit it drops the non essential...

Hi Guys
I have had little contact with industrial motors and switchgear but would like to broaden my knowledge and would like some help.When choosing a motor starter what must be considered? obviously the loading and the voltage (230v or 400v), with or without isolator also overload protection...

Now this doesn't feel right but cant find a reason why not
you can isolate the socket by using the the rcd locally or at the house the cables...
as in the title can anyone help with selecting and setting the limit on a thermal overload relay, the motor is rated at 2.2 KW single phase, is it a case of run the motor at full load, clamp measure the max A then set the overload just above, or set the overload to just below the max CC Capacity...
Hi,
I have been asked by the local church to find out about some overload protection for a motor which is powering the church organ. I am new to this and was hoping you could help. The motor is wired to a Modular Heating/Lighting Contactor (Sector IMO hc25-40 25A) which is connected to the...
Hi, Guys. need help to locate replacement overload. it's a 120deg.C., 250v, 2 pole thermal overload fo a griddle ( commercial kitchen.). It's approx. 1" square with 2 spade lugs at each end. I'l try and upload a pic.
hi could anybody help need to find out the following please little stuck
question: show how an induction relay maybe used together with other components to protect against overloads and earth faults on the transition and distribution system
any help would be great thankyou
I have fitted a schneider overload with bracket so its free standing no starter. I fitted it straight out of the box so its on auto when I pressed the stop button on it my motor kept running, is this normal or have i bought a faulty overload.
no, not my brain overloaded, but it's getting there. called out to a pub, regular customer. problem is his pub kitchen load. situation is:;
Main DB supplies most of the pub circuits - individual MCBs. 4 63A MCBs each feed sub-DBs. Main Board is full, no spare ways.
Problem is the main kitchen...
I want to fit a stand alone 3ph overload to a 5.5kw motor its wired in delta (guess that doesn't matter) can anyone tell me what size of overload I should be fitting. I have been advised to fit a variable set at 13A mark. I think thats quite low any comments will be appreciated.
we have a moeller z type overload through a contactor to a single phase motor, it is set to trip at 2.4a but doesnt! the motor is pulling 2.7a anyone any ideas why it isn't tripping
