Just had a colleague phone from Cambridge, asking advice about troublesome tripping for a vent axia fan. Been like it for a couple of years...
"Motor plate states 400V 3ph 0.37KW and the overload is..."
I stopped him before he gave details of overload and did a quick guesstimation in the head, I said the O/L should be set to about 1A.
"Oh" he says "I calculated 0.54amps and the overload range is 0.4 to 0.63. What does FLC 0.94Amps on the plate mean?"
Sometimes I really dispair. What is happening with electricians these days?
Edit: this now shows in 'related threads' below the post:

I hope it's not the same one.
