Hi guys,
We recently had a rotary air lock jam up and it damaged the reducer, reducer base and keyway. It was a 3HP motor, 460V, 4.2A FLA, SF 1.15.
The overload setting was at 4.8A. The motor under regular load is running at 2.5A. I reduced the overload setting to 3.5A hoping this would cause an overload before damage next time it jams.
I have attached a picture of my available settings, are there any other settings I could change that would protect my equipment better in the event of another jam.
Thanks for any help.
