Definition of Surge voltage

30/10/2011 by 1 Comment

What is the surge voltage?For our easy understanding,electrical surge is a sudden high pick out of voltage value in the system.It can happened in electrical power distribution and communications lines entering homes,factory, offices, and other facilities.

The surges voltage happened due to natural factor such as lighting or human error.It can effected and can cause serious damage for any unprotected electronic device that connected to the power or communication lines.

Electronic products that are especially vulnerable to surges include microprocessors or micro controllers, such as computers, TV, server system, cordless telephones, and inverter. read more

DC motor starting

28/10/2011 by 1 Comment

DC motor is the one of common types of motor that used for industrial application.It have more advantage and suitable for more heavy application in industry.

This time i want share some basic information how DC motor starting.It important because from this we can know how to build and setting the controller for DC motor.

As we known,DC motor types such as fractional-horsepower shunt, series, and compound DC motors can be started by connecting the motor directly to DC line voltage. read more

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

Accessories for MCCB

07/08/2011 by 13 Comments

As we known,Molded Case Circuit Breaker main function is protection device from overload current and short circuit.It also have a several attachment device for additional protection that we can combine with MCCB.

Common accessories used for MCCB such as phase insulation barrier,Shunt trip,Under voltage trip device,rotary handle and change over system.It can provide more protection function that we want add to the application.

Manufactured design for all electrical accessories provide for MCCB are pre wired.It must attach with MCCB and others device recommended from manufacture for efficient and durability to protect the application of system.Below i listed several common accessories for MCCB :- read more

Electro-Mechanical star delta starter

06/08/2011 by 36 Comments

Star Delta starter is the most widely used application especially for Air-compressor and HVAC system.This starter used for 6 or 12 wire for motor terminal depend on electric motor that chosen for the application.

Basically this starter used 3 unit contactor,1 unit timer delay,1 unit overload relay and start/stop button to control the star delta motor.Around the world,it have many types of control circuit design for star delta.

It have different design and technique  for the control circuit but the main objective is same,to reduce starting inrush current.

For safety condition for the star delta control circuit,it include with interlock for star and delta sequence to avoid serious damage for electric motor.That mean during star sequence,contactor for delta cannot energize or vise versa. read more

Types of Molded Case Circuit Breaker MCCB

02/08/2011 by 2 Comments

Before we make a decision to install Molded case circuit breaker for our application,firstly we need to know about types of MCCB.It important information that we must know to make sure our MCCB can functioning properly to protect our application from electrical failure.

As we know the main function of MCCB are to protect our electrical application from short circuit or earth leakage and overload current.Manufacture have a their own design and types to suit domestic and industrial application.

To make a right selected for MCCB,the key point is to know what is our application or system and what protection we needed to install.After that,we can know which one of MCCB types we need for our application. read more

MCCB protection for induction motor

31/07/2011 by 3 Comments

Circuit breaker is the one of important protection device when installing of electrical induction motor.This time i want shared some information about the major parameter that we need consider when applying Molded case circuit breaker(MCCB) for electric motor.

If we not selected the right MCCB for our electric motor application,it will effected to the system and it not running smooth and achieve our expectation.It will cause a additional costing for upgrading and repairing jobs.

Basically it have three (3) particular for induction motor protection.It is overload,locked rotor and short circuit breaker.This point is very important to ensure our motor protection reliability when problem happen. read more
