Thermal model protection for Soft starter

25/08/2011 by 1 Comment

Motor protection is the one of important criteria that we must consider when design the application to avoid serious damage or injury.

Normally we used thermal overload relay to protect electric motor from overload current problem.But if we used soft starter to driven our motor application,the suitable types of protection is using the motor thermal model.

This types provide more precise protection for electric motor and it more accurate and efficient.It only available for high end motor protection relay for conventional starter. read more

How to choose speed controllers for AC motor?

18/07/2011 by 2 Comments

Now around the world are using the speed controllers to control and drive their electric motor such as frequency inverter and soft starter.This speed control get a good reputation to reduce electricity cost and high efficiency to drive electric motor.

Speed controller is low maintenance and have a long life span.It easy to install and user friendly to setup and setting the parameter.

The wiring for power supply and control circuit is not so complicated like conventional motor control.This post i want share some basic aspects for choose the suitable ac motor speed controller that we must consider when to buy or install it on our application.I hope this information can be the basic guideline. read more

Vacuum circuit breaker

16/07/2011 by 2 Comments

As we know vacuum mean the the pressure is maintained below atmospheric pressure( unit : mm Hg ).So the manufacture made a research and development to design the vacuum circuit breaker based on current cannot jump in vacuum condition.

Vacuum Circuit Breaker used the vacuum pressured to extinguish the current arc when it switching.Normally this type of circuit breaker used for medium voltage ( 1 – 35 kV ) power supply.The ampere rating for vacuum circuit breaker is until 3000 ampere.

Vacuum Circuit Breaker have a  high insulating strength and capable to extinguish the current arc for medium voltage power supply.It more safe for switching and environment friendly.It only a vacuum atmosphere. read more

Circuit breaker specific features for main switchboard

13/07/2011 by Leave a Comment

For circuit breakers specification MUST suitable with installation condition and needed.Main switchboard is the main power supply distribution for factory or building.This unit is a key for entire electrical power supply distribution.

Circuit breaker feed the high volume of voltage for all equipment and machine.It also have a high value of short circuit current due to proximity of low voltage supply and size busbar for conveying the high current.

So we need carefully and detail understanding about circuit breaker before choose the circuit breakers for main switchboard application.This time i want share some information about criteria and specification circuit breaker for main switchboard. read more

Routine maintenace tests for circuit breaker

03/07/2011 by 3 Comments

Circuit breaker is the important protection device for our application and electrical power supply system.It can save our equipment or machinery from damage from over current or overload matter.It also can save personal life who involve directly or indirectly with electrical application from electric shock.

How we can know the actual condition and reliability for our circuit breaker? Normally we must perform the routine maintenance tests to determine out circuit breakers are able to perform their basic circuit protective functions and in good condition.

This time i want share information about routine maintenance tests for circuit breaker.Below i listed 5 types of tests to determine and assuring that the circuit breakers are functionally.Please be caution before perform the tests are to be made only on breakers and equipment that are on de-energized mode ( power supply OFF ). read more

Molded case circuit breaker maintenance

29/06/2011 by 2 Comments

The circuit breaker maintenance is very important and it must added in  periodical maintenance schedule.Why it so important?It is because of their importance for routine switching and for equipment protection and person.

Production will stop if circuit breaker fails to operate because of a lack of preventive maintenance.The cost will rise for repairing jobs and it not good for business.We must avoid from this unwanted situation because of not done the circuit breaker maintenance.

The need for maintenance of circuit breakers is often not obvious as circuit breakers may remain idle for long periods of time. Breakers that remain idle for 6 months or more should be made to services to ensure it in proper condition and remove any dust or foreign material on mechanism and contacts. read more

Tips for storage electric motor

02/06/2011 by 5 Comments

Some people do not concern about the correct method to storage the electric motor.This matter look like simple and easy but if we not take serious action,it can cause serious damage and involve high cost for repairing when electric motor defect due to not proper storage method.

I hope my post this time can make all of you some clear picture or idea how to storage the electric motor with proper method when it not use for a long period or for spare item.

When electric motors are not in operation,we must ensure several precaution for maintain electric motor in good condition and best performance without any defect.Here i want share some tips that we must consider for electric motor storage condition. read more
