Operation
MotorGuard applies a current-limited, fixed DC voltage to the motor windings during idle periods. A solid-state comparator circuit monitors measured leakage current to the ground. Two adjustable set points, factory preset to customer specifications, can be programmed to signal a pre-alarm, alarm, and lockout the equipment from operating if the low set point is exceeded. The manual reset feature enables a return to operational status only after the alarm condition has been corrected. MotorGuard will not impair the normal operation of the equipment being monitored.
Note: For shunt wound separately excited DC motors, two (2) Motor Guards are needed: one (1) for the armature/rotor and one (1) for the fields.
Note: Motors powered by a Variable Frequency Drive or by most solid-state Soft Starts will REQUIRE isolation.
