Description
1. Product Identification and Basic Information:
- MG160MD2-42FF300-F1:
- This is the model number of an ABB motor. It indicates a specific motor configuration within ABB’s product line.
- PTC 160℃:
- This specifies that the motor is equipped with a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor that is designed to trip at 160 degrees Celsius.
- PTC thermistors are used for motor protection. They increase their resistance sharply when a certain temperature is reached, which can be used to signal an overload or overheating condition.
- TP211:
- This is a terminal box type designation. This indicates the type and configuration of the terminal box that is on the motor.
2. Key Components and Their Functions:
- Motor (MG160MD2-42FF300-F1):
- This is an electric motor designed for industrial applications. The model number provides detailed specifications about its size, power, and other characteristics.
- PTC Thermistor:
- A temperature-sensitive resistor that provides over-temperature protection for the motor.
- When the motor’s temperature reaches 160°C, the PTC thermistor’s resistance increases significantly, triggering a protective circuit.
- Terminal Box (TP211):
- A protective enclosure where the motor’s electrical connections are made.
- The TP211 designation indicates a specific type and configuration of this enclosure.
3. Applications and Use Cases:
- Industrial machinery: Pumps, fans, compressors, and other equipment.
- Process industries: Chemical, oil and gas, and manufacturing.
- Any application where reliable motor operation and over-temperature protection are essential.
4. Advantages and Features:
- Over-temperature protection: The PTC thermistor helps prevent motor damage due to overheating.
- Reliable operation: ABB motors are known for their quality and durability.
- Standardized components: The TP211 terminal box provides a standardized connection point.
