Slide 76

Overload Relay / Heater


When the temperature at the combination motor starter is more than 10 C (18 F) different than the temperature at the motor, ambient temperature correction of the motor current is required. An adjustment is required because the output that a motor can safely deliver varies with temperature. p The motor can deliver its full rated horsepower at an ambient temperature specified by the motor manufacturers, normally + 40 C. At high temperatures (higher than + 40 C) less than 100% of the normal rated current can be drawn from the motor without shortening the insulation life. At lower temperatures (less than + 40 C) more than 100% of the normal rated current could be drawn from the motor without shortening the insulation life.

Relay Coordination
Time margins should be maintained between T/C curves Adjustment should be made for CB opening time Shorter time intervals may be used for solid state relays Upstream relay should have the same inverse T/C characteristic as the downstream relay (CO-8 to CO-8) or be less inverse (CO-8 upstream to CO-6 downstream) Extremely inverse relays coordinates very well with CLFs

Recloser
Recloser protects electrical transmission systems from temporary voltage surges and other unfavorable conditions. Reclosers can automatically "reclose" the circuit and restore normal reclose power transmission once the problem is cleared. Reclosers are usually designed with failsafe mechanisms that prevent g them from reclosing if the same fault occurs several times in succession over a short period. This insures that repetitive line faults don't cause power to switch on and off repeatedly, since this could cause damage or accelerated wear to electrical equipment. It also insures that temporary faults such as lightning strikes or transmission switching don't cause lengthy interruptions in service.
