Why is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker not allowed to provide overcurrent protection for the fire pump motor? Thermal magnetic breakers also contain thermal elements that require a cooling time before
Fire Pumps, based on the 2020 NEC
A fire pump motor must keep running no matter what, because it supplies water to a facility''s fire protection piping. The requirements for ensuring that ability extend well beyond the NEC.
Thermal Protection for Fire Pump Drive Motors
Fire pump systems do not get to “take a break.” That is why fire pump motor thermal protection matters so much. When heat builds inside a drive motor, the protection scheme watches temperatures,
