A motor protection relay safeguards electric motors by detecting thermal stress, phase imbalance, stall, and abnormal operating conditions that overload devices and breakers cannot see, guiding ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Many single-phase motors used with refrigeration-duty, semi-hermetic and hermetic compressors require an external relay to assist in starting. How much do you know about these necessary products? An ...

Motors are critical components in diverse industries, ranging from manufacturing and mining to water treatment and HVAC systems. As the backbone of industrial operations, any motor failure or ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

Carlo Gavazzi is pleased to announce their new DTA7 Series of Motor Thermistor Relays. They are capable of monitoring the temperature of up to six motors (via thermistors on the internal windings).

Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

Due to the wide variety characteristics of the induction motor, it plays the premier role in the industrial sector. Some of those are self starting, rugged construction, high efficiency, good power ...

A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...

Overcurrent relays with inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristics are widely used in power systems to protect ...

AutomationDirect has added new motor control, phase monitor, alternating, pump seal, and intrinsically safe relays to its collection of relays. ProSense motor control relays from AutomationDirect ...
