The starting current of motor can become 3 to 6 times the normal running current! That's normal for motors. The motor can experience this high current for a period ranging from 20 to 50 seconds.
A fuse will not be very useful in protecting a motor from this type of overload condition. A selected fuse large enough to permit passage of the necessary starting current would give little or no protection against overheating of the windings under normal running load conditions. The same case happens for the circuit breaker.
Overload relays offer protection of motors that is both compatible with the starting current of the circuit Fake MLB Jerseys China , and the requirement of protection in the event of overload running condition.
These conditions need to be adjustable. A particular motor requiring 56 seconds starting time under normal load will suffer serious damage if the rotor locks and the motor is not tripped in 20 seconds. Another motor may be able to withstand 25 percent overload for 30 minutes. A hermetically sealed compressor motor may burn in 3 minutes at 25 percent overload!
Good protection against overheating of the motor windings can be obtained from temperature monitoring protector devices that are embedded into the motor windings. These do not protect the motor itself, but act as sensors to trigger a temperature control circuit to stop the motor.
A thermal overload relay, however Fake MLB Jerseys , uses a heating element to heat up a bimetallic strip so that it can trip a latch that will open the motor control circuit. This action will disconnect the motor from the line.
For reliable operation, the overload relay must be located at the same temperature environment as the motor. The heating effect of the bimetallic strip mechanism is supposed to represent the heating of the motor windings.
Melting alloy overload relays calibrated by the manufacturer are considered the most reliable of all the thermal overload protective devices. However, more commonly used is the bimetallic overload relays because the tripping current setting can be adjusted.
All the overload relays have one major limitation - because they operate on line current Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys For Sale , they do not directly sense the motor temperatures. For normal steady running conditions, this poses no problem at all.
However, when a motor starts and stops frequently Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys Sale , the relay may not completely protect the motor. Why is that so?
During the motor running, the relay temperature follows the motor temperature closely. When the motor is off, the relay tends to cool off at a faster rate because of its lower mass. After a number of starts and stops Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys Replica , the temperatures of the relay and the motor may drift further and further apart. Eventually the motor becomes hot, and yet the relay does not trip because it is still cool. The motor burns.
Frequent starting and stopping of motors is no good both electrically and mechanically.
Until next time...

Just because you're holding your guitar doesn't mean that you're playing it, and just because you're playing your guitar doesn't mean that you're practicing. There is a real difference and it needs to be acknowledged if you want to improve your level of playing skill. Some people say they have spent the entire day practicing their guitar when in reality Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys From China , all they've done was sit in front of the TV all day eating cheesy poofs. The sad thing is that they really do believe it was practicing since they had their guitar on their lap next to their cheesy poofs all day. Most of us know someone who does this and we may even be guilty ourselves.
In order to truly improve your skills you really need to avoid any distractions, no TV, no food Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys China , no friends and no phone. Just you, a guitar, an amp and maybe some reference materials. Speaking of amps Cheap Fake MLB Jerseys , keep the distortion turned down. Remember, this is practice, not playing. The distortion will only hide your mistakes. You need to hear your mistakes clearly so you can correct them.
If you're a beginner you might want to practice basic guitar scales or guitar chords. Make sure you have the necessary reference material handy so you don't spend your time doing things wrong. Keep in mind that what you practice is reinforced so if you're practicing your scales wrong Fake MLB Jerseys For Sale , then you've not only wasted your time; you've also reinforced your mistakes.
So what should you practice? Since I've never heard you play I can't tell you what you need to improve on, but I can make suggestions to make your practice more effective.
Don't turn your amp up to 11 and play every solo you know. This is playing the guitar not practicing the guitar. It might be fun and a great way to blow off some steam, but it won't improve your skills.
Don't let practice get stale. You need a variety of things to keep your mind from wondering. Practice your scales for an hour then work on chords or music theory. Mix it up. Just be sure not to over do any one area because you'll get bored and at that point your practice won't be as effective.
Don't just go through the motions. Part of a good practice session is finding problems and figuring out solutions. If you're having trouble fingering a particular chord Fake MLB Jerseys Sale , then analyze the problem and try to find a solution. You might think that your fingers are to small or weak, when the reality is that you only need to improve your technique. When I first learned to make barre chords I had a rough time making all six strings sound clear. Now I can make them all sound clear with very little effort. I would also add that I don't believe my hand strength has much to do with it at all.
Use a metronome when practicing. This will help you improve your timing and make everything sound better.
