A motor protection relay is a device that helps protect motors from damage due to overloads, short circuits, and ground faults. It monitors the current flowing through the motor and trips when it detects an abnormality. This helps prevent damage to the motor and other components in the system.
Pump Protection Relays are designed to speed up the troubleshooting and reduce the downtime to a minimum among almost all kinds of motors. They protect pump motors, pumps, wiring, controls or power systems. These Protection Relays are well-equipped to not only prevent any damage to the equipment but also indicate the nature of the problem.
5 reasons that make Motor protection relay very essential
Guard the equipment
Pump/Motor Protection relays act as a robust guard for the equipment and provide a safety shield against short circuits, current leakage, high voltages, and low voltages. These relays ensure that equipment or pump does not catch fire save the pump from burning.
Ensure longer life for equipment
Apart from saving the equipment from catching fire these relays also enhance the life of the apparatus. The relays reduce the speed of aging of the pump. The sturdy protection provided to the equipment against overcurrent and overheating helps the equipment to perform better and in return increases its lifespan.
Continuous Monitoring
Motor protection relays continuously monitor the incoming 3 phase power supply and also indicate for any deviation in any of the parameter. Through this, you can keep a check for any contingencies.
Protection even in single- or two-phase supply
Minilec’s motor protection relays provide robust protection even when 1 of the phase is down or missing. This functionality is not available for most of motor protection relays. Minilec’s protection relays are designed to provide overall protection for the pumps.
Dry run protection
Most of the times motors burns when it runs without water. Typically, motor gets overheated which causes it burn or some serious damage to motor can occur. Minilec’s motor protection relays come with dry run protection so that you can be rest assured about the safety of your motor.
Minilec provides comprehensive range of motor protection relays. These relays are ideal for AC compressors, pumps, machines, conveyors, cranes and hoists etc. click the link to explore products
