Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

FORT WAYNE, IN--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) announces the official release of the new SubMonitor Connect electronic motor protector that provides the ...

In Part 1, we saw why we must separate overload protection from fault and short circuit protection for motor circuits. But correctly sizing these different devices can be confusing. And if you follow ...

American manufacturers are importing European and Asian industrial equipment at an accelerating pace. The problem: that ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

It’s impossible to balance line-to-line voltages perfectly in three-phase circuits, so they typically differ by a few volts or more. However, if voltage unbalance exceeds 1%, it can markedly decrease ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...

Compressor overheating is one of the industry's most serious field problems today. Compressor overheating is usually caused by high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused by a ...
