Motor calculations part 1.
Motor overload protection devices.
The best method for providing overcurrent protection for most circuits is to use a circuit breaker that combines overcurrent protection with short circuit and ground fault protection.
Where protected by a separate overload device the motor is required to have overload protection rated at not more than 125 of the nameplate full load current fla 430 6 a and 430 32 a 1.
Engineering studies design and analysis.
Motors and branch circuit conductors.
As we know motor protection is one of the important criteria when we involve for ac motor installation wiring and termination works commonly magnetic contactor fuse molded case circuit breaker mccb and overload relays are used for motor control device of induction motor.
For typical motor protection.
In general ideal for motor protection it have two basic protections always installed for every motor are over load.
The motor branch circuit conductors are protected from overload conditions by the motor overload protection specified in section 430 32.

When the motor is overload due to any circumstance the windings of the motor arphote subjects to fire as the temperature of the motor is increased in overload conditions and as a result the windings of the motor can be damaged.
Due to this phenomenon the rotor will never achieve the synchronous speed as well as it will never stop.
As soon as the rotor speed falls the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field again acquires a non zero value which again causes induced current in the rotor bars then rotor will again try to achieve the synchronous speed and this will continue till the motor is switch on.
Fuses are designed to burn out if too much current runs through a connected wire.
You can used surge protection or lightning protection many types of protection available for your application d.
The key to understanding conductor and motor protection is in knowing the meaning of ground fault short circuit and overload.
You can use overload relay or can run your pump with vfd or inverter d protection for lightning.
