In conditions where induction motors are frequently started, overloaded and used in high inertia applications with long starting times, supplied from frequency converter, a temperature protection system are more reliable to protect induction motor stator winding against thermal overloads. There are different types of temperature protections - thermostat, PTC thermistor, resistance temperature detector (RTD) and thermocouples, so it is important to know the properties of each type to choose an adequate protection system. Analyses of temperature sensor properties and their advantages and disadvantages show, that PTC thermistor is a cost-effective temperature protection solution, but for medium and high voltage induction motor protection RTD are commonly used. A virtual model has been represented to simulate the temperature sensor thermal time constant under different thermal conductivity and thickness of winding magnet wire insulation.
