Motor Branch Circuit Conductor http://www.1on1tutoringlive.com/files/ocp2.htm Disconnect Short Circuit Protection Overload Protection Controller & Control Circuit
Motor Branch CircuitType of Motor • Induction Motor • 1 phase and 3 phase • Synchronous Motor (only 3 phase) • Armature & Field (DC) • DC Motor • Armature & Field
Motor Branch CircuitRatings of Motor • Power: HP or kW • # of phase • Voltage • Current () Check Manufacturer for Data

Motor Branch CircuitCurrent (cable) Calculation • Normal Operation: • Multi-speed Motor: maximum current • On-Off Operation: when is the multiplier
Motor Branch CircuitCurrent Calculation Ground Cable • 115% of the rated current
Short Circuit Protection Able to handle the starting current • Fuse • Non Time-Delay Fuse • Time-Delay Fuse • Circuit Breaker • Inverse Time Circuit Breaker (normal) • Instantaneous Circuit Breaker
Overload Protection • To protect overheat of the motor • Circuit Breaker cannot function well for overload because of the starting current • Three methods of detecting temperature • Bimetal Thermal Overload Relay • Electronic Overload Relay • Thermistor Protective Relay
Motor Controller • Starter • DOL: usually less than 7.5kW • Reduced Voltage Starter • Inverter
Motor Controller • Reduced Voltage Starter • Star-Delta Starting • Autotransformer Starting • Resistant Starting • Part-Winding Starting • Elecronics Starting
Motor ControllerContactor • Turn on-off the motor • The rating of Contactor needs to be higher than the rating of Motor • Utilization Category • AC2: handle 2-5 times the nominal current • AC3: handle 5-7 times, but stop at nominal • AC4: handle high amount of on-off operation
Motor Controller • Reduced Voltage Starter • Star-Delta Starting • Autotransformer Starting • Resistant Starting • Part-Winding Starting • Elecronics Starting
Motor Controllercomponents • Power Circuit • Usually 3 phase power circuit • Control Circuit • Single phase or DC circuit

Motor ControllerStar-Delta Starting http://myelectrical.com/notes/entryid/83/motor-starting-star-delta
Disconnecting Means • Disconnect when circuit is live • Design for inductive load • Install “within sight” and less than 15m • Rating is higher than 115% of motor rating
Feeder • All motor: • Combination of Motor and other loads: • is continuous load • Neutral can be a lot smaller but not smaller than Ground
