This article explains the role, testing, and precise placement of thermal protectors in explosion proof motors to maintain certification and ensure workplace safety.

Este artículo explica la función, las pruebas y la ubicación precisa de los protectores térmicos en los motores a prueba de explosiones, con el fin de mantener la certificación y garantizar la seguridad en el lugar de trabajo.

When equipment fails and customers wait, knowing exactly how to test each temperature-sensing device becomes critical. Don't let temperature accessories be your diagnostic blind spot.

Para monitorear la temperatura de los bobinados y en los rodamientos se pueden usar diferentes tipos de dispositivos. La correcta identificación de los mismos es importante para determinar el tipo de  sensor en casos en los que el dispositivo es desconocido o para escoger el dispositivo correcto para una determinada aplicación.

Winding RTDs are resistance-based temperature monitoring devices. Aside from just reporting winding temperature, here are some tips for maximizing the benefit of RTDs.

Regardless of the method used to detect winding temperature, the total, or hot spot, temperature is the real limit; and the lower it is, the better. Don’t let excessive heat kill your motors before their time.

This manual covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on IEC motors and standards.
