DESCRIPTION:
ESC plus in the standard version is available with the following functions:
- Connection and disconnection directly in line (DOL);
- Overload protection.
- Overvoltage and under voltage crowbar;
- Short-circuit protection;
- Protection against dry running (no water protection);
- Protection against 2 phases operation (three phases).
3.1
OPERATIONS:
The ESC plus has been designed to operate connected to submerged and surface electric pumps, but it may be
used with any asynchronous electric motor.
A wide range of electric pumps may be managed with just one version.
The rated current is calibrated by programming via the keys on the front of the panel.
In the event of phase failure, overload or overvoltage, the system disconnects the motor [OVERLOAD], after a
time which simulates the tripping of a thermal overload cut-out.
In the event of current overload, the system runs 3 tests automatically, with progressive pauses between each (10,
20, 40 min.) in order to verify whether the overload current conditions persist, indicating the waiting status with the
flashing text OL (OVERLOAD). During one of the tests, if the current falls below the set trip value, the alarm is
reset and ESC plus resumes normal operation.
After 3 tests if the overload condition persists, ESC plus trips the alarm with the OL indicator permanently lit, and
remains blocked until a manual reset is performed (see 3.2.13).
The dry running protection does not require sensors (source of errors and extra costs), but functions by checking
the COS (power factor) value absorbed by the motor.
