Abstract :
Many times, the engineer responsible for setting motor protection for existing motors has very little documentation on the motor itself. Very few documents discuss how to adequately protect motors when proper motor documentation is not available. This article will present an overview of fundamental motor protection concepts and then proceed to perform various setting examples for motors with and without complete motor data.
