- Supply characteristics: voltage, phases, grounding method, and available short-circuit current
- Mechanical factors: vibration, torque, and limits
- Process requirements and environmental conditions
- Hot and cold permissible locked-rotor time and accelerating time
- Time-current curve for motor start-up
- Frequency of starting cycles
Protection Relays
Protection relays serve as primary safeguards for synchronous and asynchronous motors. They are compatible with circuit breaker and contactor-controlled motors across diverse applications, including pumps, fans, compressors, mills, and crushers.
