NEMSCO Explains Why Repeated Motor Trips Should Be Investigated Instead of Simply Reset
When an electric motor trips an overload or protective device, resetting the system may restore operation. When the same motor trips repeatedly, however, the NEMSCO (National Electric Motor & Supply Co.) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has explained why repeated motor trips should be treated as warning signals rather than routine interruptions. When an electric motor trips an overload or protective device, resetting the system may restore operation. However, this can indicate an underlying electrical, mechanical, operational, or environmental condition that requires investigation. The most common cause of motor trips is excessive load, when driven equipment requires more torque than expected, which increases current. Repeated trips can also result from electrical conditions, such as low voltage, phase loss, loose electrical connections, damaged conductors, or problems within motor control equipment. The frequent starting and stopping applications can create additional heat and potentially cause thermal protection to interrupt operation. The owner of NEMSCo, David Callender, stated that finding the cause of repeated motor trip can help determine whether the issue involves the motor, the power supply, or another part of the system.
