CBW Motor Overload

Information about CBW motor overload sizing
APPLIES TO: 50 kilo CBWs
50 Kilo CBW motors experience high current often because of the way they operate ( 6 seconds on, 1 second off, 6 seconds on, etc.). To keep the motor "on-line," overloads must be over-sized. The United States National Electric Code allows the overload to be set up to 140% of the full load amps of the motor.
