PROTECTION
4.1 Up to 5KW Motors- Thermal overload One time Plant IEM 1.Three phase fault
relay/EOCR current and fault at
4.2 >5KW up to 15 KW-EOCR with at least Plant IEM which motor tripped
One time
overload protection should be recorded
4.3 >15KW up to 30 KW-EOCR with at least and analyzed before
One time Plant IEM each reset/restart
overload protection & Earth fault protection
5.1 Installation of Space heater in motors operating One time Power arrangement of
in moisture /steam environment or install motor with space heater should be
5 proper design which can work without space heater Plant IEM such that, its power
in moisture/steam environment will be off when main
power put off.
