Abstract :
This article discusses the fundamentals of motor protection principle. A brief overview of the existing protection philosophy for asynchronous motors is reviewed with a special consideration of thermal protection of motors. Because large synchronous motors are used in the cement industry, a review of additional functions required for protection and control of synchronous motors is given.
