If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

CARLO GAVAZZI has launched a new range of Miniature Circuit Breakers for up to 480Y/277VAC systems: GMB Series UL489 MCBs for Branch Circuit Protection and GSB Series UL1077 MCBs for Supplementary ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

The usual way of preventing a small motor from drawing too much current is to install overcurrent protection in the form of a circuit breaker or some other kind of limiter. But installations that ...

RS Components (RS), is stocking the TeSys GV4 range of motor circuit breakers from Schneider Electric, a supplier of advanced solutions for energy management and automation applications. Offering a ...
