Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inherent motor protector is a thermally activated device in the motor winding that protects the motor from overheating. Circuit breakers and line fuses protect the motor from short circuits and overloads in the electrical system, while motor starter overloads protect the motor from overload conditions caused by the load on the motor. However, only an inherent motor protector is located within the motor itself and responds to the motor's temperature.
