Industrial Control Basics: Part 2 – Overload Relays
Electric motors are an integral component of industrial equipment, toys, vehicles, and electronic devices. They are designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. These devices may be powered by AC or DC sources. Blowers, fans, compressors, cranes, extruders, and crushers are a few important devices equipped with electric motors.
This paper on Overload Relays covers the types of motors, explains overload protection, how an overload relay works, and the types of overload relays.
The Basics of Induction Motors
Induction motors, also referred to as a synchronous motor, is one of the main types of AC electric motors used in commercial and industrial environments. These motors feature armortisseur windings, and work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The electro-magnetic field in the rotor is produced by the rotating field of the stator. In short, the power is transferred to the rotor winding by stator through induction. There are two main types of induction motors — single-phase induction motors and three-phase induction motors.
