I believe we can get a solution to your rotor melt problem. But there is more information that i need to know. How many rotor and stator slots has this motor got and is the rotor skewed or not?

Uh, That thread is three years old. The Original Poster has not visited Eng-Tips for over 1 1/2 years.

I worked for Bogainville Copper in Papua New Guinea
The crushers would quite often bog down, if the operator was pushing tonnage they would run a 400 HP motor at 400 HP 24/7. If they bogged and operator reset the motor trip several times in succession, I have seen pools of copper where the rotor bars melted.
Of course they knew better but you couldn't stop them.
