trip class for motor

Overload or Thermal Protection (ANSI 49)

Introduction

Overload or thermal protection protects all types of motor applications against overload currents.

Operating Principle

Overload or thermal protection is I 2 t IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time):

o It incorporates the motor thermal image function.

o It can be configured as the Ir pickup and as the trip class (Class).

Tripping curve:

Ir Pickup Setting Value

The overload or thermal protection pickup (Ir) is set by using a multi-position dial.

The default Ir pickup setting value is 0.4 x In (minimum dial value).

The overload or thermal protection tripping range is 1.05–1.20 x Ir according to IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standard.

The following table shows the preset values of the adjustment dial Ir in amperes for each current rating In:

Trip Class Setting Value

The trip class (Class) is set by using an adjustment dial:

o Class 10 (default value)

The trip class corresponds to the value of the tripping time for a current of 7.2 x Ir according to IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standard.

The following table shows the value of the tripping time depending on the current in the load for all three classes:

The precision range is -20%, + 0%

Motor Thermal Image

The model representing heat rise and cooling in a motor load is constructed according to the algorithm for calculating the thermal demand, taking account of the iron and copper losses.

The following figure represents the limit curves for the iron and copper components calculated for class 20:

Thermal Memory

The trip unit uses a thermal memory function to protect the motor from overheating in case of low amplitude repetitive faults.

Electronic protection without thermal memory function does not protect against repetitive faults because the duration of each overload above the pickup setting is too short to cause tripping. However, each overload causes a temperature rise in the installation. The cumulative effect of successive overloads can overheat the system. The thermal memory function remembers and integrates the thermal heating caused by each pickup setting overrun. The thermal memory function remembers the thermal heating values for 20 minutes before or after tripping.

Example:  Comparison of the heat rise calculation without thermal image (diagram A ) and with thermal image (diagram B ):

With thermal image, the trip unit adds the thermal effect of successive current pulses. Tripping occurs based on the actual thermal state of the motor.

Cooling Fan

The thermal image of the motor is calculated taking account of the fact that the motor is self-cooled (fan mounted on the shaft end).

Use the selection table for the specific controller involved.

Find the minimum motor full-load current listed for the thermal unit.

Multiply that current by 1.25 (1.15 for Class 8198). The result is the trip current rating.

Determine the thermal unit selection and trip current rating for thermal units in a Class 8536 Type SCG3 Size 1 magnetic starter used to control a three-phase, 1.15 service factor motor with a full-load current of 17.0 Amperes, where the motor and controller are both located in a 40 o C (104 o F) ambient temperature.

From thermal unit Table 13 , the proper selection is B32.

The minimum motor full-load current is 16. 0 Amperes.

Trip current rating is 16.0 x 1.25= 20.0 Amperes.

Protection Level: Is the relationship between trip current rating and full-load current. Protection level, in percent, is the trip current rating divided by the motor full-load current times 100. In the example above, the protection level for the B32 thermal unit is: 20.0/17.0 x 100=118%.

National Electrical Code, Section 430-32, allows a maximum protection level of 125% for the motor in the above example.

Minimum Trip Current: Also called ultimate current, may vary from the trip current rating value, since ratings are established under standardized test conditions. Factors which influence variations include:

The number of thermal units installed

Enclosure size

Proximity to heat producing devices

Size of conductors installed

Ambient (room) temperature, and others

Except for ambient temperature-compensated overload relays, an ambient temperature higher than 40 o C would lower the trip current, and a lower temperature would increase it. This variation is not a factor in selecting thermal units for the average application, since most motor ratings are based on an ambient temperature of 40 °C, and motor capacity varies with temperature in about the same proportion as the change in trip current. Temperature-compensated relays maintain a nearly constant trip current over a wide range of ambient temperature, and are intended for use where the relay, because of its location, cannot sense changes in the motor ambient temperature.

Class B vs. Class C RV: Choosing the Perfect Motorhome for Your Adventures

Choosing the perfect motorhome for your adventures requires understanding the differences between class B and class C RVs. Both classes offer unique features and benefits, catering to different lifestyles and travel preferences. In this article, we’ll explore the key characteristics of class B and class C RVs, helping you determine which is the best fit for your needs.

Understanding Class B RVs

Class B RVs, also known as camper vans or Sprinter vans, are compact and versatile motorhomes built on an automotive van chassis. These RVs are designed to provide a comfortable living space within the confines of the van without the addition of external walls. Class B RVs are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and solo or couple travelers who prioritize maneuverability and easy driving.

One of the standout features of class B RVs is their compact size. They typically range from 18 to 24 feet in length. This makes them easy to navigate through narrow roads and crowded cities, and they can even fit in conventional parking spaces. Despite their small size, class B RVs are cleverly designed to maximize living space, with ingenious solutions for kitchens, bedrooms, and storage.

Popular class B RV models, such as the Tellaro, offer a range of floor plans to suit different preferences. The Tellaro comes equipped with modern amenities, such as a 7-inch touch-screen dash radio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Winegard ConnecT 2.0 Wi-Fi extender, and a 24-inch swivel TV for outdoor viewing.

Understanding Class C RVs

Class C RVs are mid-range motorhomes built on a cab or cut-away chassis. They feature a distinctive “cab-over” profile, with a sleeping area or storage space above the cab. Class C RVs offer more living space and amenities than class B RVs, making them suitable for families and long trips.

Ranging from 22 to 33 feet in length, class C RVs provide ample room for kitchens, bathrooms, and separate sleeping areas. The added space also allows for larger storage bays, making it easier to bring along gear and supplies for extended adventures. Class C RVs may be more intimidating to drive than class B RVs, but they’re still relatively easy to maneuver compared to larger class A motorhomes.

Models such as the Four Winds class C RV offer a variety of floor plans to accommodate different family sizes and preferences. Built on either a Ford E-Series or Chevrolet chassis, the Four Winds provides a comfortable driving experience with features such as cruise control, backup monitors, and leatherette captain’s chairs.

Drivability

When it comes to drivability, class B RVs have a clear advantage. Their compact size and automotive van platform make driving stress-free, even for those who are new to RVing. Navigating through tight spaces, such as gas stations or campgrounds, is a breeze with a class B RV. Their smaller size also allows for easier parking in regular spots, eliminating the need to locate special RV parking areas.

Class C RVs, while larger than class B RVs, are still relatively easy to drive compared to massive class A motorhomes. Their increased size and weight may require more attention and caution when maneuvering, especially in windy conditions or on narrow roads. Many class C RVs come equipped with reverse cameras and power steering to enhance the driving experience.

Floor Plans and Living Spaces

Due to their compact size, class B RVs often feature innovative designs that maximize living space. Their floor plans may include convertible sleeping areas, fold-away tables, and multi-functional furniture to make the most of the available square footage.

With their larger size, class C RVs offer more traditional floor plans with dedicated living areas, kitchens, and sleeping quarters. Many models feature over-cab sleeping areas, which can be perfect for children or additional guests. The increased space in class C RVs also allows for more storage options, such as larger closets and exterior storage bays.

We recommend class C RVs due to their affordability, ample living space, and ease of driving. At Bretz RV & Marine, we have class C motorhomes for sale in Montana and Idaho with unique floor plans, diverse features, and amenities to suit your needs.

Features and Amenities

Class B RVs are often tailored to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and adventure-seekers. Class C RVs are designed with family-friendly features in mind. The larger living spaces and sleeping capacities make them ideal for families or groups traveling together. Class C RVs often include full kitchens, spacious bathrooms, and entertainment systems to provide a comfortable home-away-from-home experience.

Fuel Efficiency and Costs

Fuel efficiency is an important consideration when choosing between a class B and class C RV. Due to their smaller size and lighter weight, class B RVs generally offer better fuel economy than class C RVs. This can result in significant savings on fuel costs over time, especially for long-distance or extended trips.

Class C RVs, while less fuel-efficient than class B motorhomes, still offer reasonable gas mileage for their size. The impact of the larger size and weight on fuel consumption can be mitigated by choosing a model with a more efficient engine or adopting fuel-saving driving habits.

In terms of maintenance and ownership costs, class B RVs may have an advantage due to their simpler design and smaller size. Both classes of RVs require regular maintenance, including oil changes, tire rotations, and system check-ups, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Motorhome Tips and Advice

When deciding between a class B and class C RV, it’s essential to consider your lifestyle and travel preferences. Because of their compact size, class B RVs are ideal for solo travelers, couples, or those who prioritize outdoor activities and adventure. Class C RVs are better suited for families or groups who value more living space and amenities. The separate sleeping areas and larger kitchens make them perfect for longer trips or for those who prefer a more comfortable and home-like environment while on the road.

8 Amazing Bunkhouse RV Floor Plans for a Family-Style Adventure

Posted: May 18, 2024 | Last updated: May 18, 2024

When choosing an RV, one of the most critical elements to pay attention to is the economy of space. Since your living quarters are going to be compact, you want to ensure that every inch is utilized so that you can still have the comfort of home. 

A bunkhouse camper is one type of RV with maximum living space.

This term refers to any RV that utilizes a bunk bed style, meaning that these rigs can often sleep more individuals than other similar-sized RVs. So, if you’re interested in getting an RV with bunk beds, you’re in luck.

We’ve scoured the internet to find the best bunkhouse campers in this class, so you don’t have to.

To help you make an informed decision, we’ve broken down our list by category. Bunkhouse RVs can be Class A, Class C, travel trailers, and fifth wheels.

1. Winnebago Forza 38W

• Length:  39′ 10″
• Height:  12′
• Accommodations:  Slide Out, Overhead Bunk Bed, Master Bedroom, Fireplace, Exterior TVs, Massive Storage Space

When it comes to bunkhouse floor plans, Winnebago is like the Cadillac of the industry.

The Forza 38W is one of the biggest and classiest bunkhouse RV models we’ve seen, thanks to its luxury accommodations and chic styling. There’s a reason why this bunkhouse RV costs as much as a house – because it’s practically a house on wheels. 

As far as bunks go in this RV with bunk beds, there is an optional model that sits above the cabin. Best of all, there are adjacent plugins so that whoever sleeps up there can still charge their phone or use a nightlight if necessary.

Other highlights of this bunkhouse camper include ample undercarriage storage space, convertible sofa beds, a massive entertainment center (complete with fireplace), and a master bedroom that rivals most homes.

1. Thor Motor Coach Challenger

• Length:  38′ 11″
• Height:  12′ 11″
• Accommodations:  Tilting King Bed, Drop-Down Overhead Bunk, Dual Bunk Beds, Two Showers, Optional Theater Seating

With a name like Thor, you know that this bunkhouse camper is going to be big. At almost 39 feet long and 13 feet tall, this is a monster rig that will impress anyone who sees it.

When talking about bunks, this bunkhouse camper comes with three. There are two bunk beds along the side, complete with mattresses and a closing door.

There is also an overhead bunk above the cabin in this bunkhouse RV, which also comes with a mattress and ladder. Best of all, the overhead bunk is powered, so all you have to do is press a button and watch it unfold. 

As far as other features go, this bunkhouse camper doesn’t quite have as many accouterments as the Forza, but it feels spacious and looks modernly stylish.

You don’t get a fireplace, but you get everything else you need, and with so many options for sleeping, this bunkhouse RV is perfect for family trips. The master bed even lifts so that you can find the right position to watch TV or sleep. 

3. Gulf Stream Conquest

• Length:  32′
• Height:  11′ 3″
• Accommodations:  Overhead Bunk, Dual Bunk Beds, Jack Knife Sofa, Half Circle Dinette, Hardwood Styling

If you like the idea of driving your bunkhouse RV but don’t want a supersized rig, Class C models like this one from Gulf Stream are the perfect option if you’re in the market for a bunkhouse camper.

As a rule, Class C RVs come with an overhead bunk that sits above the cab.

However, if you want extra sleeping space, you can get a bunkhouse RV model like the 63111, which comes with two additional bunk beds.

Although this rig is smaller than something like the Forza, it can still sleep at least six passengers or more, depending on how comfortable everyone is with each other. 

4. Coachmen Freelander

• Length:  32′ 11″
• Height:  10′ 11″
• Accommodations:  U-shaped dinette, Overhead Bunk, Lift TV, Faux-Marble Countertops, Master Bedroom, Sofa or Recliners, Built-In Awning

Sometimes, you just need to have options. Fortunately, the Freelander series from Coachmen is perfect for those with discerning tastes. Although we’re featuring the 31MB model, this bunkhouse RV series has 20 different floorplans. Thanks to the overhead bunk above the cab, all of them are considered bunkhouse camper models.

So, feel free to scope out all of the unique combinations until you find the one that works best for your needs. 

Beyond the overhead bunk, the Freelander is a relatively efficient and straightforward RV with bunk beds. It doesn’t have many bells and whistles, but it comes with all of the creature comforts of home.

One element that we like about the 31MB is that you can choose to get a sofa or two recliners.

If your travel plans only involve you and a partner, the recliners give each of you maximum relaxation, including a plush middle armrest with individual cup holders. 

5. Keystone Passport

• Length:  26′ 3″
• Height:  11′
• Accommodations:  Dual Bunks, Pass-Through Storage, Flip-Up Bunk, Outside Kitchen and Refrigerator, U-Shaped Dinette, Rear Cargo Door

A bunkhouse travel trailer can be an excellent option for those who prefer to tow their RV with bunk beds instead of driving it. One of the primary benefits of a travel trailer is that they are relatively light while still offering plenty of interior space and accommodations.

In this case, we have the Passport GT series, which has several bunkhouse camper models. However, for the money, we recommend the 2820BHWE, thanks to its double bunk beds and sleek layout. 

This bunkhouse travel trailer is also a slide-out model, meaning that you can extend the side of the rig to give you more space inside. The section that slides out is the dinette, which can come with optional theater seating if you prefer. 

6. Jayco Jay Feather

• Accommodations:  Dual Bunk Beds, Jackknife Sofa, U-shaped dinette, Exterior Kitchen, Pass-Through Storage, Built-In 21-inch Awning

Because there are so many bunkhouse camper models on the market, it can be overwhelming to try and find the right one for your needs. However, to make it easier on yourself, you could look for bunkhouse travel trailers that come with high marks.

The Jay Feather 27BHB is a new model from Jayco, and it has already received the Top RV Debut Award in 2020. When looking at the features and interior, it’s easy to see why. 

This bunkhouse trailer has dual bunk beds in the back that can support up to 600 pounds each. Below the bottom bunk is additional storage, and each bunk has its own curtain to provide some privacy.

The Jay Feather is another slide-out model, with the sofa and dinette section extending to give you more room to move around.

7. Coachmen Chaparral

• Length:  42′ 6″
• Width:  96″
• Accommodations:  Dual Bunk Bed, Flip Down Bunk Bed, Theater Seating, Master Bedroom, Slide Out Dinette and Kitchen, Two Bathrooms, Tri-Fold Sofa, Exterior Kitchen

When it comes to RV trailers, fifth wheels are the Class A version. Models like the Chaparral are the ultimate in space and luxury, rivaling the top-tier Class A motorhomes.

At 42 feet long, this is a massive bunkhouse RV, which can make it hard to tow. However, once you get where you’re going, you can set up the Chaparral and live in style. 

Inside, you’ll notice that there is more than enough room for a family of four or five to stay comfortably.

8. Keystone Avalanche

• Length:  41′ 7″
• Height:  13′ 4″
• Accommodations:  Loft Bunkhouse, Fireplace, Theater Seating, Two Fold-Out Sofas, Two Bathrooms, Kitchen Island, Two Entertainment Centers, Master Bedroom

For our final bunkhouse camper, we have the creme de la creme of fifth wheels. Although this rig is not as long as the Chaparral, it maximizes its space in the best ways possible.

First of all, there are two of everything – bathrooms, sofas, recliners, kitchens, and bunks. The bunk beds are loft-style, meaning that they sit above the second entertainment center.

However, you can sleep eight people comfortably in this bunkhouse RV because both sofas also convert into beds. So, if you’re planning a camping trip with your extended family, the Avalanche has you covered.

Other highlights of this bunkhouse RV include a fireplace, a kitchen island (complete with sink), hardwood accents, space for a washer and dryer in the master bedroom, and an outside kitchen/prep area.

There is almost nothing you can’t do with this bunkhouse camper. 

We hope that you’ve enjoyed this tour of the best bunkhouse campers. Having bunk beds makes it easy to travel in groups, and these rigs are sure to make your next trip a delight. See you on the road!
