VoltiBULLETIN - August 2005 - Motor Protection - theory, products and systems.

Dear User,

All about Motor Protection – theory, products and Systems.

Read on:

Electric motors are used everywhere today, in industry, commerce, the home, in cars and other vehicles, and in computers and toys too. However, the largest motors are found in industry, and these need to be protected against failure of various types (mostly through overheating), so as to minimise downtime, and – in some cases – save lives. This VoltiBULLETIN examines some important aspects of Motor Protection, and looks in brief at some of the systems and their application.

So, do you want to know more? Then read on by clicking the downloads.

Kind regards,

The Voltimum Team.

> Useful Information

	Motor Protection and co-ordination – an introduction Electric motors have to be protected against failure. To do otherwise would be to risk equipment failure, expensive downtime in industry, and even - on occasion - life and limb.
	ABB expands relay range with addition of motor protection ABB has expanded its range of electrical relays with the addition of a new multifunction protection device for medium and large standard MV asynchronous motors.
	Motor starter coordination Schneider Electric shows the benefits and implications of achieving motor coordination, especially Type 2 coordination.
	Intelligent motor controller offers flexibility coupled with protection ABB's new Universal Motor Controller (UMC22) offers a powerful and flexible intelligent control device for motor protection applications.
	Softstarter range delivers powerful performance with simplified programming Motor protection isn’t just about specialist protection equipment – modern soft starters perform the job of starting motors more smoothly, and – therefore – reliably into the bargain.
	Maxim and UMC devices Read all about motor protection, plus ABB’s Maxim and UMC devices for universal motor control and protection.
