Hello, I am new in this site. Just want to know if its allowed to use one overload for two motors, they are the motors in each side of a Overhead crane. If so, how do I set the overload? Should I add the FLC of each motor? thank you

Hello Froilan

There is a 15% safety margin in the ratings of the motors to allow for tolerances in the calibration of the protection devices.
Theoretically, a protection device must not trip at less than rated current and must trip at 115% rated current.
Typically, with good protection relays, the average trip point is in the order of 105% rating, but commonly there are 3% - 5% tolerances in CTs etc.
If you set the trip point at 115%, you can expect the motors to trip at 120% - 125% on average. This is enough to shorten the life of the motor.
If the protection operates late, the motor can operate at a higher temperatures and not necessarily fail immediately. Every ten degrees C hotter you run the motor, you halve it's life, so you may not see the effects of a higher overload setting for some time.

Best regards,
Mark.
