Electrical systems are vulnerable to voltage spikes and surges that can damage equipment, cause costly downtime, and compromise system reliability. Transient voltage surge can be caused by a number of situations, including operations of circuit breakers, VFDs, motors, transformers, capacitor banks, or switching of power networks. Low-voltage Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) play a critical role in safeguarding sensitive equipment from these harmful electrical disturbances. Why SPDs Matter Pr...

Electric motors are critical components in every production process or facility because they are the movers of mechanical equipment and machinery. Without them, nothing gets done. When designing a system, it is imperative to provide protection for motors using various protection and control systems. A Combination Motor Controller (CMC) is one way to provide motor branch circuit protection and control. Five most common types of CMCs In this blog, NOARK Electric answers the question of which CM...

Overload relays provide reliable motor overload protection by preventing damage caused by phase failure, high temperatures, or electrical overload. They’re usually connected in series to the contactor (or switching device) to protect the motor from problems associated with the motor drawing excess current that could lead to overheating and damage to windings. When operations depend on the safe and efficient function of a motor, it’s essential to keep it protected from as many potent...
