TRL-4

Microprocessor protection device of asynchronous electric motor is designed to protect three-phase asynchronous electric motors from emergency modes:

  • a) loss of supply voltage in one of the phases;
  • b) violation of the sequence of phases;
  • c) increasing the current consumed by the electric motor in one or more phases above
  • a valid value;
  • d) increasing the asymmetry of the phases of the supply voltage above the permissible value;
  • e) tightened starting of the electric motor;
  • f) increase of transient resistance of contacts in power circuits, automatics, starters

Structural-functional and schematic diagrams of the device are developed. The layout components and operation modes were selected and checked in laboratory conditions, the microprocessor algorithm and operation program were developed, the laboratory sample was tested, the printed circuit board was developed in accordance with the circuit diagram of the device, sensors for measuring the amplitude of the input signals of the device were developed.
