Single motor applications
Single motor applications employing a manual motor
protector (MMP) result in a simple, compact and economical
alternative to conventional magnetic motor controllers for manual
operation of a single motor. Upstream short circuit and
overcurrent protection in the form of fuses or a circuit breaker
is required
but the MMP can replace the overload relay, contactor and
associated electrical components and wiring for controlling the
contactor.
Group motor applications
Group motor installations offer several advantages
when controlling two or more motors or other loads over
conventional single motor starters. Several MMPs can be grouped
together and fed from a single set of fuses or a circuit breaker.
These devices can be installed together on a single DIN rail and
fed power through three phase insulated busbars and
a power feed terminal. Protecting this group of MMPs is a single
circuit breaker or fusible switch, sized specifically for the load.
Excellent coordination and short circuit protection can be
achieved, as high as 50kAIC, when using the MS325 product in this
manner. Close coupling adapters are offered to connect contactors
to the load side of each MMP for automatic operation of each
motor. If a single motor experiences an overload, the associated
MMP trips and allows the other motors to continue running.
Numerous accessories are available for signaling in the event of a
trip, to indicate status, to provide shunt trip and for
undervoltage release. The main benefits of group installation are
quick, fool proof assembly, minimal wiring and a reduction of the
necessary enclosure size. The only constraint is that the upstream
circuit protective device must be sized specifically for the load -
a highly desirable feature in order to provide the closest
coordination and the greatest level of circuit protection. Article
430.53(C) of the NECŪ specifies the requirements for group motor
installations; all ABB MMPs meet these requirements.
