Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

Rockwell Automation’s Branch Motor Controls and Protection Solutions offer a range of combinations and accessories for applications that require smart industrial control. Electric motor starters ...

The Allen-Bradley Branch motor control components have been revised by Rockwell Automation. According to the company, this move was made to update systems where components are used to turn on and off ...
