Circa il 90% dei motori elettrici attualmente installati nel mondo funzionano a velocità prossima alla nominale. I problemi che possono verificarsi in fase di avviamento e arresto vengono risolti da una corretta scelta del metodo di avviamento. Scopo di questa tesi è descrivere le differenze principali tra gli standard di controllo e protezione motori utilizzati in nordamerica (NEMA/UL) e nell’Unione Europea (IEC), quali dispositivi si possono utilizzare in entrambe le situazioni e quali sono le regole per il loro funzionamento. Sono qui descritti i metodi più comuni per l’avviamento e il coordinamento delle protezioni dei motori, Si mostrano anche le differenze tra apparecchiature di diversi produttori. Si mostra e si confronta la scelta delle apparecchiature di protezione per due motori tipici, di eguale potenza nominale, secondo i due diversi standard.

Abstract
Around 90% of electrical motors installed in the world today are run close to the nominal speed. There are some potential problems that can take place during start and stop of these motors, that can be handled very well by selecting the right starting method for each application. The objective of this thesis is to describe the main differences between motor control and protection standards in North America (NEMA/UL) and European Union (IEC), which devices can be used in both locations, and what are the rules for their operation. Motor starting methods, protection and coordination standards, the most common solutions for motor protection are described in this study. Benefits and product gaps of different manufacturers are investigated. Choices of protection solutions for two typical motors of the same power rating according to the two standards are shown and compared.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
