KNOWLEDGE CENTRE

Fuseco supplies cutting-edge relay solutions from Littelfuse.
The Dugald River Zinc Mine, located in the north-west of Cloncurry in Northern Queensland, and owned by MMG, had Neutral Earthing Resistor’s installed on site and they were doing annual periodic maintenance checks to verify NER resistance and integrity during shutdowns.
A motor protection relay is designed to help protect motors from overloads, jams, phase loss or unbalance, heat, heavy start-ups or excessive operational cycles.
Clever yet very simple and cost-effective steps can be taken today, to improve the electrical safety of old switchboards in use across the country, lacking modern protection against arc-fault events.
The Littelfuse EL731 series is a new and sensitive Earth Leakage Technology – the first of its kind to offer complete coverage of all frequencies from 0(DC) to 6,000Hz, including DC earth leakage typical for VSD applications.
Had this relay not been there, they were looking at between $800,000 to $1 million in damages.
A Neutral Earthing Resistor (NER) plays an important role in an electrical environment and is one of the most effective ways to maximise personnel safety. Continual monitoring is imperative to detect resistor failure with or without an earth fault present.
The MP8000 dramatically increases motor protection, resulting in longer motor life plus reduced downtime and repair costs.
