Synopsis

AC motors, induction or synchronous, are used extensively throughout the world in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. AC motors are vital components in many processes and require specific thermal and fault protection during overload and locked-rotor conditions. AC Motor Protection is a reference book written for professionals concerned with the operation and protection of AC motors. You will find the information necessary to develop electrical, mechanical, and thermal models that determine a motor’s characteristics. You can use the motor’s characteristic information to optimize the thermal and fault protection settings of the motor protection relay.
