Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays


Effective crane motor protection

April 2006 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Hard working crane motors are designed for specific duty cycles, generally of short duration. Conventional protection, even electronic motor protection relays, that do not take the motor manufacturers' 'S' motor rating, % duty cycle and cyclic duration factors into account, will not render adequate protection. NewElec's 330M crane motor protection relay is uniquely designed for each motor, providing overload, phase loss and phase unbalance protection. A motor thermal indicator meter can be fitted inside the crane operator's cabin as a working aid to ensure that the crane is never operated beyond its loading limits.
