Motor Control Devices Electrical

A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor selecting forward or reverse rotation selecting and regulating the speed regulating or limiting the torque and protecting against overloads and electrical faults.

Motor control devices electrical. Since it is impossible for a technician to be in two places at once it is often necessary to perform diagnostic checks on a malfunctioning electric motor from the mcc where the technician has access to. The overload relay protects the motor by disconnecting power to the motor when an overload condition exists. An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor s magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor s shaft. Electric motors can be powered by direct current dc sources such as from batteries motor vehicles.

A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. These controllers monitor the load exerted on a motor and match torque to the recorded load accordingly. Electric motors should be protected against. Voltage sensitive relays are connected across each phase with operating contacts connected in the electric motor s control circuit to ensure the motor is disconnected from the supply in the event of any phase voltage.

The starter and overload heater assembly for an industrial electric motor is often located quite a distance from the motor itself inside a room referred to as a motor control center or mcc. This is accomplished electromechanically using start and stop pushbuttons or other pilot devices wired to control the contactor.
