Default Fuses in place of motor "heaters"? (induction motor protection)

"boob = bull**** artist"

They often are used for short circuit protection of a motor circuit,
but
not for overload protection.

** Horse manure !!!!!!!!!!

Overload protection is EXACTLY what circuit breakers are there for.

You cab size them to protect a stalled or overloaded motor or just the
supply cables.


The step between circuit breaker ratings is far too large to provide
overload protection for motors.


** FFS - asshole try LEARNING TO READ

Thermal breakers come in any almost size you like and you fit them
between
the AC outlet and the load.


Thermal/ magnetic breakers are not simply for "short circuit protection".

They provide cable overload ( overtemp) protection.


Not in the US NEC. And not the practice in the US.



** You are one stupid, lying ass.

WTF do you think AC supply circuit breakers are ****ing for?
--------------------------------------------------------------------


You have such compelling arguments.



** While you have posted NONE at ALL !!!!!!!!

**** off - you crazy ****ing nut case.
