Author Why doesn't the breaker pop
Al Moran

2006-02-01, 1:21 am

In the last week I've seen two systems with inducer motors that were
seized up. So seized up that you could almost light a smoke on them
from the heat. One system was a split in the attic, the other was a
package on the roof. The package system had a 40A disconnect on it,
the split had a dedicated breaker in the main breaker panel. Why is it
that these motors can heat up like they do and not trip a breaker or
pop a fuse? The package system was only 3 yo and had an internal
overload on the motor, the split was about 15 yo and did not.

Were they grounded? solidly?

If there is no ground wire for the return path to the circuit breaker then
you get a big heater.
Look up the breaker curve for any breaker. Check the highest amps and the
TIME it take to trip that breaker. When we breaker test we use 6 times for
short time, 3 times for long time delay. Most breakers will go a very long
time if your just under the max current setting. Long as in weeks and
months. God forbid it was an FOE panel.

What's the LRA on the motor ? Less than circuit rated amps.

No trip.

Next time you have one ( a working one ) at hand, A ) put your
amp clamp on it, B ) hold the cage still with your hand. C ) power it
up for a second, just to get a reading. Watcha got ? A whole lot
less than 40 !!!!

Uhh... could it be because breakers and fuses don't trip due to the
temperature of a motor housing?

Maybe because they don't draw enough current?? Just replace it and be done
with it.

He didn't say they were grounded, just locked up. And he's
talking about the little inducer motor. I forget, but what's LRA on
those things ? 3 amp ? 5 amp ? whatever.

I meant frame of the motor grounded. Not stator grounded. Should have been
clearer about that.


My guess this motor frame is not grounded, so it became a heater. Like you
said the low lock rotor of this motor will not even come close to the
overload of most feeder breakers.

Oh - forgot to add - a ground is NOT a path to a circuit

Frame ground makes no difference, unless / until the winding
burns through, and touches out to it.

Unless that happens, frame ground doesn't enter into it.

It can sit at locked rotor and generate heat instead of motion
all it wants ( until a thermal kicks, if it has one, or the winding
opens ).

And never trip a breaker.

You must be very clear on what you say when speaking around software
salesmen to not let them feel left out by expecting them to know the
common thing in the trade. Speak slowly and don't leave anything out.

This is Turtle.

When you have a vent fan motor jammed with a L.R.A of 10 amps on a
furnace and is connected to a 40 amp breaker. Where are you going to
get the other 30 amps that will be needed to trip the 40 amp breaker ?

Another example of this is take a evaperator blower motor on the
refrigerator and jam it and let it draw L.R.A. of about 5 amps and see
if it will trip a 15 amp breaker.

Also most motors have a temperature cut out well above the burning
temp. of the human body.

All joking aside:

Did you put an amprobe on the feeder?

A seized motor *may* draw its rated LRA, or less, depending on a lot
of factors. Just because tech motor won't spin, doesn't necessarily
mean tech rotor is locked, with full applied voltage and healthy
windings. I have seen motors (especially 3-phase) that you could fry
an egg on their cases, pulling far less than their rated LRA.

The other main thing is this:
Smaller single-phase motors, like shaded pole draft inducers, are
*impermanence protected*. They will get hotter than hell, but will
seldom either catch fire or blow the main overload.

The bearings are tight/dry/both. Just replace the motor, if it's
seized up!

Forget it. They're both LPF and impedance protected.
They ain't gonna trip a damned 30 or 40 Amp breaker.

Wire we drawing this out, as if it were a current event?
It's revolting humor at best, and I conduit myself, anyway.

So, pipe down. Lube up and pull, while alternating.
And pull lease watch those bends. It's a matter of degrees.

I hope this doesn't shock you.

Apparently you guys are a bunch of jackasses. The overload on the 3yo
obviously failed. The 15yo just decided to act like an induction motor
with no induction. ie. straight watts without vars = heat. I think
this is probably a couple of coincidences. Replace the motors. Motors
should have their own thermal overload to protect them from lock up.
If they reset themselves automatically though, they will continue to
reset, time out and pop and then reset again without popping the higher
overcurrent breaker protection. Something most people don't know is
that breakers in your panel are designed to protect your wiring, not
your equipment. Hence the internal overloads on motors. Maybe a
little 3-in-1 electrical motor oil might also unseize the motor
bushings if you're lucky.

You are SO full of shit...
....do you make this crap up, as you go along, or what?

Do a Google search on "impedance protection"

A shot of oil on the sleeve bearings is just a "Get by" hack.
Replace the damned motor, dumb XXX.


The only induction YOU need is that of general anaesthesia...

How anal, dude!

Do yourself a favor, and rent or buy a sibian.

He doesn't even know what an induction motor is - he thinks
it's a type of motor, like PSC or such :-)

Hey Fucknut, read what I wrote before you jump in with your drivel. I
clearly said " Replace the motors." If you can't do it right away,
then you may be able to get by with cleaning and oiling the bushings.
Maybe try getting a trade and actual life work experience before
quoting any Google searches. You can't fix a motor by searching for it
on a website. Stunned cunt.

Hey, Johnny fuzz nuts, is this NOT what the OP wrote?:

"The package system was only 3 yo and had an internal
overload on the motor, the split was about 15 yo and did not."

The 3 yo unit had thermal protection and the 15 yo unit had impedance
protection.

Couple of questions, Johnny. What the heck is impermanence protection?
I've never heard of that....

Next, what kind of three-phase motor running less than line sync have
you seen that won't draw LRA or more if the rotor isn't spinning? I've
never seen that, either.

Lastly, a shaded pole motor usually has piece-of-crap sleeve bearings in
it... so I agree with you there. Replace the damn thing!

Hey, Hey...........Dont be making fun of our "piece-of-crap" sleeve
bearing motors. The "people" demand inexpensive motors and they got
what they wished for. No sense in everyone going out and paying a few
bucks more for a good ball bearing motor. We dont need those things to
last that long. How we goina eat? :-)

I read. I interpreted. Maybe I jumped the gun.
My bad. Exceuse me for breathing.

Been there, done that, and didn't use Google, asswipe.
I posted off the top of my head.

You are delusional (faggot, maybe?), and I am a straight male.

I haven't seen too many three-phase shaded pole motors in my lifetime.

I hate typos. They grieve my bowels.

Hey Johnny, you're the dipshit going on about impedance protection like
it's the only way to protect a motor. So next time take Paul's dick out
of your mouth before running off at the mouth, pecker breath.
