Low-Voltage Motors

F u r t h e r m o r e , since there is no need

to fit end plates, costs are saved.
T h e t e r m i n a l blocks are of the
Sigut type, that is, they have o p e n
c l a m p i n g points, f u n n e l - s h a p e d c o n ductor entry guides and captivo
screws that rotate
freely w h e n
turned
anticlockwise.
Circular
screwdriver guides to simplify the
use of power screwdrivers are also
p r o v i d e d . M e t a l parts are c o v e r e d to
ensure that the terminis are safe to
touch as defined i n V B G 4 and V D E

Accessory tems
Some of the existing t e r m i n a l accessories, e.g. the w a r n i n g arrow cover.
white label, intermedate barrier,
test socket and retainer, can also be
used for the new t e r m i n a l size.
N e w features include parallel links
for 2. 3, 4 and 10 terminis with
holes for 2.3 m m test plugs and a
separating barrier w h i c h can be
retrofitted between adjacent parallel
links without increasing the t e r m i n a l

Summary
T h e new size 4 terminis for solid

which they can be used in distribution boards and c o n t r o l boards. their
simple h a n d l i n g and their practical

In Part 1 it was stated that the

duty types of low-voltage
motors can be classed in two
groups. Part 2 goes into more
detail about duty types S2. S3
and S6, which permit uprating
of the motors beyond the output permissible in continuous
running duty (SI). Since.
given a particular output
requirement, correct rating of
motors for duty types S2. S3
and S6 usually leads to a
smaller motor than would be
required for S I , savings can
be made in terms of investment and transpon costs.

Since, in short-time duty. the thermal e q u i l i b r i u m corresponding to

the r e q u i r e d m o t o r output is not
reached (t < 3 7) and the temperature rise follows an exponential
function, the t h e r m a l limit of the
mximum m o t o r output is given as a
function of the constant-load time t

Note
In calculating the reversing frequency, the reversing times have
been neglected as they are relatively
short c o m p a r e d to the constant-load
