Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a protector, and more specifically, to a motor protector. Background Technology
[0002] A motor protector is an important electrical device used to protect the safe operation of a motor. It can monitor the operating status of the motor in real time and cut off the power supply in time when abnormalities occur, preventing damage to the motor, extending the service life of the motor, and ensuring the stable operation of the production system.
[0003] Motor protectors typically use built-in sensors to detect parameters such as current, voltage, and temperature of the motor. When these parameters exceed preset normal ranges, the internal logic circuit of the protector quickly makes a judgment and issues a command to cut off the power supply to the motor via a relay, thereby protecting the motor.
[0004] The existing motor protector uses a relay as the actuator. When the coil is energized, the iron core is magnetized and generates electromagnetic attraction, which attracts the armature to move, causing the contacts to close or open. After the coil is de-energized, the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and the armature returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, and the contacts return to their initial state, thereby achieving the function of circuit protection.
[0005] However, relays have the following drawbacks: 1. High power consumption: During operation, the coil needs continuous energization to maintain the contact state, consuming electrical energy over time. This leads to energy waste, and the heat generated by the coil accelerates the aging of the coil insulation, reducing its lifespan and potentially affecting the normal operation of other surrounding electronic components. 2. Low reliability: Relays rely on the opening and closing of contacts for circuit control. Frequent operation over a long period causes contact wear. When contact wear is severe, the contact resistance increases, leading to a voltage drop in the circuit, affecting the normal operation of the load, and even causing arcing, sticking, and other phenomena, resulting in circuit failure. Furthermore, the energization and de-energization of the coil during relay operation generates electromagnetic pulses, which may interfere with surrounding electronic equipment, affecting the stability and reliability of the system.
