While the former is specially designed for motor protection asynchronous induction motors the latter is a general purpose protection device. Go back to cb selection tips 2. Sirius 3rv27 and 3rv28 can be used according to ul 489 csa c22 2 no 5. They must be combined with thermal overload relays to provide motor overload protection.

Our motor protection circuit breakers provide both short circuit and overload protection for individual motor loads and are available for a wide range of motor sizes and installation types. The use of the motor circuit breaker reduces the cost and space of the motor. Decide which type of protective characteristic cable or motor protection. The branch circuit short circuit protection inverse time breaker for a 25 hp 460v 3 phase synchronous motor shall not exceed 70a.

However reliable protection can be achieved only by the proper selection of these devices. Let s address each question individually. Select the appropriate circuit breaker type with or without the thermal overload protection. The following information is intended to guide application engineers in their selection of the right breaker and its setting for more reliable motor protection.
