Mechanical and electronic overload protection each has its place. Mechanical overload-protection devices, such as the EAS -Compact backlash-free, ball-detent torque-limiting clutch, can disconnect ...

Electronic overload protection has long been employed on industrial electric motors. In some cases, this internal protection may serve as a viable torque limiting mechanism. Many applications, however ...

Thanks to ongoing innovations in technology, electrical engineers' approach to motor protection has changed over the years. The traditional strategy to large AC motor protection (e.g., over 500 hp), ...
