摘要:
An induction motor having a rotor and a stator is protected during running overloads by connecting the motor to an overload protection relay that can be tripped to interrupt power to the motor in the event of an overload, tracking the stator winding temperature of the motor during running overloads with a hybrid thermal model by online adjustment in the hybrid thermal model, and tripping the overload protection relay in response to a predetermined running overload condition represented by the tracked stator winding temperature. In one embodiment of the invention, the stator winding temperature is tracked by use of an online hybrid thermal model that uses the resistance of the rotor as an indicator of rotor temperature and thus of the thermal operating conditions of the motor. The hybrid thermal model incorporates rotor losses and heat transfer between the rotor and the stator, and approximates the thermal characteristics of the rotor and stator.
