Product Overview 1-3
Description of Features Overload Protection
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller incorporates, as
standard, electronic motor overload protection. This overload
protection is accomplished electronically with an I
2
t algorithm. The
ArmorStart’s overload protection is programmable via the
communication network, providing the user with flexibility.
The Bulletin 280G/281G overload trip class can be selected for class
10, 15, 20 protection. Ambient insensitivity is inherent in the
electronic design of the overload.
