almost entirely by, inrush current limitations. The starting torque of all motors varies with the starting current and it is therefore necessary to
insure that the motor is supplied with sufficient current to develop enough
torque to accelerate the load.
In present practice overload protection of motors is obtained by use of thermal overload inverse time limit type protection. The usual setting
of such protection devices is not to exceed 125 per cent of rated full load
current'for open 40 C rise motors, and not to exceed 115 per cent of rated full load current for all other motors, the element tripping after a definite
interval of time. The National Electrical Code requires the addition of
fuses or circuit breakers to protect the overload elements from severe
short circuit currents.
Two types of protection are available against low voltage at the motor
terminals. One type, called low voltage release, permits the motor line
contactor to drop out on low voltage and to close again when the voltage
returns to. normal, thereby restarting the motor when the abnormal condi tion is ended. The second type, called low voltage protection, causes the
motor line contactor to drop out on low voltage, but prevents restarting
when- the voltage returns to normal except by the action of an operator.
This latter type of protection is desirable where it is necessary for the
operator to make initial starting adjustments on the machine.
. Manual control for an alternating or a direct current motor is usually
located near the motor. When so located an operator must be present
to start and stop or change the speed of the motor by operating the control
mechanism. Manual control is sometimes employed only as a device to
give overload protection and another device is employed to start and stop the motor. Manual, control is used particularly on small motors which
operate unit heaters, small blowers, and room coolers in an air conditioning
system. In other cases manual control in the form of drums, when used
with multi-speed motors, is only, used as a speed setting device, while the
starting and stopping functions operate automatically through thermostats
and pressure switches..
,
Because of the increasing complexity of air conditioning systems, the
equipment is operated preferably by automatic control, and less dependence
is placed on manual operation and regulation.
Automatic control of motor starters , may be accomplished by the use
of remote push button stations, by a thermostat, float switch, pressure
regulator, or other similari pilot devices. An added advantage of auto matic control is that the main wiring for the,starter may be installed near
the motor, while the starter may be operated by a control device located
'elsewhere. .
