At my mfg plant, a number of our blowers we make (up to 60 hp) are returned for repair or replacement of motors which have failed in one way or another. In many cases, it seems that thermal overloads in the motors were never connected into the motor control systems. I would have thought that a properly engineered system, this would be part of the wiring diagram/schematics. Are these devices just not used, or are they not used in lieu of overload heaters? Or is this just not understood in general even though they are clearly marked on the lid of the terminal boxes.
