Abstract

See full text

Method and system for protecting induction motors from stalled start conditions provide a motor overload protection device that includes a stalled start detector capable of differentiating long start from stalled start conditions. This helps the motor overload protection device identify a stalled start condition right away and trip immediately rather than allowing the motor to continue drawing locked rotor current for the duration of the startup interval. Such a motor overload protection device may be used with any suitable multiphase induction motors, including two-phase motors, three phase motors, and the like. And because only the motor phase currents are used to detect the stalled start condition, the motor overload protection device disclosed herein does not require voltage phase shift information and/or motor speed measurements, thereby simplifying overall management of the motor.
