Thermal overload relays take seconds to react, which is too slow to protect the machine a motor drives. Fast power monitoring detects jams and broken tools in 15 to 50 milliseconds, before damage is done.

Electronic shear pins: protecting conveyors and mixers without the downtime

Mechanical shear pins protect drives by breaking, which means downtime every time. An electronic shear pin uses motor power monitoring to stop the machine before damage, with adjustable limits and no parts to replace.
