OVERLOAD PROTECTION, OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Overload & Load Warning Lamp
Whenever the motor is energized, and when it is operating comfortably within its load range, the load warning
lamp will be lit green.
Whenever the motor is energized, and when it is operating comfortably within its load range, the load warning
lamp will be lit green.
When the motor is operating near its full load range, the load warning lamp will flash red. If full load is
exceeded and sustained for too long, the motor will shut down and the
load warning lamp will glow solid red. In this case, the motor must be first
shut off and then restarted.
NOTE: When using single phase power, the operator must be very
careful not to use too much force. One must make note of the load
warning lamp and try to keep within the the green range. Too much
load will draw too much current and easily trip the supply circuit
breaker.
Overheat Thermal Protection
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down. The switch
must be first shut off and then restarted. When this happens, do not immediately start cutting. Always rallow
cooling water to flow through the motor for a few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature
before continuing.
