Overload relays

[Marco P]

Hello Everyone,

Does someone know the minimum size motor for using a overload relay?

Thanks guys,

First question, what size motor do you have?

 

[Engineer54]

0.375KW if i remember correctly!! lol!!

 

[Knobhead]

½ HP if you want it in real values.


I just hope this wasn't a homework question!

Hi,

mine was just a general question to understand from what size of motor I should use the overload relay and as far as I have understood the "threshold" is 0,5HP (roughly 375W).

Thank you guys

As my old gaffer used to say, "anything less than arf an orse aint worth worrying about".

Depends on how critical it is.
Plant shut downs at £XXXXX's an hour don't go down well.
