What about short circuit protection for a motor circuit?

Motor and Motor Circuit Protection

Short Circuit Condition

2001 Cooper Bussmann, Inc.

If we size the overcurrent protective device according to NEC 430.52 will we protect the motor circuit components from a short circuit?

TYPE 1 PROTECTION vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION

TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION


What is Type 1 and Type 2 Protection?
IEC 947-4-1 Standard
Type 1 Protection(Damage) UL 508 Listing Type 2 Protection(No Damage) Type 2 Tables from Manufacturer

2001 Cooper Bussmann, Inc.

TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION


Type 1 Protection:
Requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and may not be suitable for further service without repair and replacement of parts.

Similar to UL 508 requirements

2001 Cooper Bussmann, Inc.

TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION


Type 2 Protection:
Requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for further use. The risk of contact welding is recognized, in which case the manufacturer shall indicate the measure to be taken as regards the maintenance of the equipment.

Type 2 Protection Tables

TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION

Does NEC require Type 2 protection?

2001 Cooper Bussmann, Inc.

TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION


NEC section 110.10:
The overcurrent protective device, the total impedance, the component short-circuit current rating, and other characteristics of the circuit to be protected shall be selected and coordinated to permit the circuit-protective devices used to clear a fault to do so without extensive damage to the electrical components of the circuitListed products applied in accordance with their listing shall be considered to meet the requirements of this section.

2001 Cooper Bussmann, Inc.

TYPE 2 PROTECTION

Why Is Total Protection Important?


Maximum Safety To Personnel And Equipment Minimum Cost To Stay In Service Maximum Productivity From The Equipment

Motor and Motor Circuit Protection


Overload Protection
Overload Relay Fuses for Backup
