  • 3The microprocessor based motor protectionrelay SPAM 150 C is an integrated designcurrent measuring multifunction relay for thecomplete protection of a.c. motors. The mainarea of application covers large or medium-sizedthree-phase motors in all types of conventionalcontactor or circuit breaker controlled motordrives. The motor protection relay is available in

    two versions, one with a making trip contact andthe other with a breaking trip contact.

    The relay can also be used in other applicationsrequiring a single-, two- or three-phase over-current and/or overload protection and non-directional earth-fault protection.

    Area ofapplication

    The combined multifunction motor protectionrelay is a secondary relay device which is con-nected to the current transformers of the pro-tected motor drive. The three phase currentsand the neutral current of the protected deviceare continuously measured and on the basis ofthis measurement, the thermal condition of themotor is calculated and the faults of the networkare detected. In fault situations the protectiveunits of the relay provide alarm or trip thecircuit-breaker.

    By appropriate programming of the output re-lay matrix, various starting, prior alarm or re-start inhibit signals are received as contactfunctions. This contact information is used e.g.

    for the blocking of co-operating protective re-lays located upstreams, for connection to annun-ciator units etc.

    The motor protection relay contains one exter-nal logic control input, which is activated by acontrol signal on the auxiliary voltage level. Theinfluence of the control input on the relay isdetermined by programming switches of themeasuring module. The control input can beused either for blocking one or more of theprotective stages, for carrying out an externaltrip order, for inhibiting a restart attempt or forresetting a latched output relay in the manualreset mode.

  • 6vides a latching function after any trip opera-tion. After having latched the output relay mustbe manually reset or reset by remote control.

    The trip alarm signals from the relay module areobtained via output relays B and C. The signalsto be routed to these relays are selected withswitches1...7 of switchgroup SGR1 and switches4...8 of switchgroup SGR2 of the relay module.Normally the output relays B and C are givensuch a configuration that a thermal prior alarmis obtained over relay C and the trip signals ofthe protection units are linked to output relay Bto form an auxiliary trip signal. This is also thedefault setting of the relay on delivery from thefactory.

    The signals to be routed to the output relay Dare selected with switches 1, 2 and 3 of softwareswitchgroup SGR2 in the main menu of therelay module. Switch SGR2/1 routes the ther-mal prior alarm, switch SGR2/2 routes thestartup information for the motor and switchSGR2/3 routes the start signal of the high-setovercurrent stage to output relay D.

    Output relay E, terminals 74-75, is a heavy dutyoutput relay capable of controlling a circuitbreaker, as the main trip relay A. Relay E is usedfor controlling the restart of the motor. If thethermal capacity used exceeds the set restartinhibit level of the thermal unit, if the allowedmaximum cumulative start-up count is exceededor if the external restart inhibit signal is activethe output relay E prevents a motor restartattempt. This also applies to a condition wherethe protective relay is out of auxiliary voltage orthe relay is faulty.

    Output relay F, terminals 70-71-72, operates asthe output relay of the integrated self-supervi-sion system. The relay operates on the closed-circuit principle, thus under normal service con-ditions the contact gap 70-72 is closed. If a faultis detected by the self-supervision system, or ifthe auxiliary supply fails, the output relay dropsoff, providing an alarm signal by closing the NOcontact 71-72.

    The relay is connected to the SPA data bus bymeans of bus connection module type SPA-ZC17 or SPA-ZC21. The bus connection moduleis connected to the D type connector markedSERIAL PORT on the rear panel of the relay.The fibre-optic cables are connected to theconnectors Tx and Rx of the bus connectionmodule. The communication mode selectorswitches on the bus connection module are setin position "SPA".

    The three phase currents are connected to ter-minals 1-2, 4-5 and 7-8, when the rated currentof the secondary circuits is In = 5 A. When usingcurrent transformers with a rated current of 1 A,terminals 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 are used. The ther-mal overload protection may also be used insingle-phase or two-phase applications, in thiscase inputs not used may be left unconnected.

    To get a proper operation of the unbalance andincorrect phase sequence protection in a two-phase application, the two phase currents shouldbe summed in the third phase current input. Insingle-phase applications, wiring the phase cur-rent through two or three current inputs in seriesmay slightly increase the operating speed of therelay and stabilize operation of the thermal unit.

    The neutral current of the earth-fault protectionis connected to terminals 25-26 when the ratedcurrent is 5 A and to terminals 25-27 when therated current is 1 A.

    The control input 10-11 can be used in fivedifferent ways:- as the control input controlled by a motor

    speed switch in Ex-type applications- as the control input of an external blocking

    signal for blocking the operation of the unbal-ance or earth-fault protection units

    - as the control input for an external trip signal- as the control input for unlatching the trip relay- as the control input for the restart enable relay.

    The designed function is selected by means ofswitches 1...8 of switchgroup SGB in the mainmenu of the protection relay module.

    The auxiliary supply voltage of the relay isconnected to the terminals 61-62. At d.c. auxil-iary supply voltage the positive lead is connectedto terminal 61. The accepted input voltagerange is determined by the type of power supplyand output relay module inserted in the relaycase. For further details see the description of thepower supply module. The accepted auxiliaryvoltage range of the relay is indicated on thefront panel.

    Output relay A provides the CB tripping com-mands when the operate time of a protectiveunit has elapsed. The earth-fault unit can bemade non-tripping, i.e. only signalling, withswitch 8 of switchgroup SGR1. On delivery fromfactory all protective units are selected to per-form tripping. A latching function of the outputrelay A can be selected by means of switchesSGB/7 and SGB/8. Switch SGB/7 gives a latch-ing function after a short-circuit, an earth-faultor an unbalance tripping. Switch SGB/8 pro-

  • 8Operationindicators

    B) If the display is dark when one of the protec-tion stages I>, I>> or I0> operates, the faultyphase or the neutral path is indicated with ayellow LED. If, for instance, the TRIP indi-cator glows red, and the indicators IL1 andIL2 at the same time are illuminated, over-current has occurred on phase L1 and L2.

    C) Besides being a code number at data presen-tation, the leftmost red digit in the displayserves as a visual operation indicator. Anoperation indicator is recognized by the factthat the red digit alone is switched on. Nor-mally the first event to appear is indicated.For the thermal unit, however, a prior alarmsignal is later replaced by the trip indication,if tripping is carried out. In order to enablereading of actual thermal levels etc., it ispossible to acknowledge the indication ofthe thermal unit while the unit is still acti-vated. The same applies to a signalling earth-fault. In these cases the indications are memo-rized and reappear when the display is dark.All operation indicators are automaticallyreset when the motor is restarted. The fol-lowing table, named OPERATION IND.on the relay front panel, is a key to theoperation indicator code numbers used.

    A) The operation indicator TRIP is lit whenone of the protection stages operates. Whenthe protection stage resets, the red indicatorremains alight.

    Indication Explanation

    1 > a = The thermal level has exceeded the set prior alarm level2 > t = The thermal unit has tripped3 > i, tsi, = The thermal restart inhibit level is exceeded, the startup time

    EINH counter is full or the external inhibit signal is active4 I>> = The high-set stage of the overcurrent unit has tripped5 I = The unbalance/incorrect phase sequence protection unit has

    tripped6 I2 x t = The start-up stall protection unit has tripped7 I0 = The earth-fault unit has tripped8 I< = The undercurrent unit has tripped9 EXT.TRIP = An external tripping has been carried out

    D) The TRIP indications persist when the pro-tective stage returns to normal. The indica-tor is reset by pushing the RESET/STEPpush-button. A restart of the motor auto-matically resets the operation indications.

    Further, the indicators may be reset via theexternal control input 10-11 by applying acontrol voltage to the input, provided thatthe switch SGB/6 is in position 1.

    The basic protective relay functions are notdepending on the state of the operationindicators, i.e. reset or non-reset. The relay ispermanently operative.

    E) In two minutes after the internal self-super-vision system has detected a permanent relayfault the red IRF indicator is lit and theoutput relay of the self-supervision systemoperates. Further, in most fault situations anautodiagnostic fault code is shown in thedisplay. The fault code is composed of a redfigure 1 and a green code number, whichindicates the fault type. The fault code cannot be reset as long as the fault persists.When a fault code appears on the display, thecode number should be recorded on a pieceof paper and given to the authorized repairshop, when overhaul is ordered.

  • 9To be able to operate the relay needs a securedauxiliary voltage supply. The power supplymodule forms the voltages required by the meas-uring relay module and the auxiliary relays. Thewithdrawable power supply and output relaymodule is located behind the system front panel,which is fixed by means of four cross-slottedscrews. The power supply and output relaymodule contains the power supply unit, alloutput relays, the control circuits of the outputrelays and the electronic circuitry of the externalcontrol inputs.

    The power supply and output relay module canbe withdrawn after removing the system front

    panel. The primary side of the power supplymodule is protected with a fuse, F1, located onthe PCB of the module. The fuse size is 1 A(slow).

    The power supply unit is a transformer con-nected, i.e. galvanically isolated primary andsecondary side, flyback-type dc/dc converter. Itforms the dc secondary voltages required by themeasuring relay module; that is +24 V, 12 Vand +8 V. The output voltages 12 V and +24V are stabilized in the power supply module,while the +5 V logic voltage required by themeasuring relay module is formed by the stabi-lizer of the relay module.

    A green LED indicator Uaux on the system frontpanel is illuminated when the power supplymodule is in operation. The supervision of thevoltages supplying the electronics is placed inthe measuring module. If a secondary voltagedeviates from its rated too much, a self-supervi-sion alarm will be established. An alarm is alsoestablished when the power supply module iswithdrawn from the relay case, or when theauxiliary power supply to the relay is inter-rupted.

    There are two versions of power supply andoutput relay modules available. For both types,the secondary sides and the relay configur-ations are identical, but the input voltage rangesdiffer.

    Voltage ranges of the power supply modules:- SPTU 240R2 or SPTU 240R3 Uaux = 80...265 V dc/ac- SPTU 48R2 or SPTU 48R3 Uaux = 18...80 V dc

    The modules SPTU 240 R2 or SPTU 240 R3can be used with both ac and dc voltages.Modules SPTU 48 R2 and SPTU 48 R3 aredesigned for dc supply only. The auxiliary volt-age range of the power supply module of therelay assembly is indicated on the system frontpanel.

    The module SPTU 240R2 and SPTU 48R2have a normally open trip contact whereas themodules SPTU 240R3 and SPTU 48R3 have anormally closed trip contact.

    When the protective relay is operating under theconditions specified in the section "Technicaldata", the relay is practically maintenance-free.The relay modules include no parts or compo-nents subject to an abnormal physical or electri-cal wear under normal operating conditions.

    If the environmental conditions at the relayoperating site differ from those specified, as totemperature, humidity, or if the atmospherearound the relay contains chemically active gasesor dust, the relay ought to be visually inspectedin association with the relay secondary test orwhenever the relay modules are withdrawn fromthe case. At the visual inspection the followingthings should be noted:- Signs of mechanical damage on relay modules,

    contacts and relay case- Accumulation of dust inside the relay cover or

    case; remove by blowing air carefully- Rust spots or signs of erugo on terminals, case

    or inside the relay

    On request, the relay can be given a specialtreatment for the protection of the printed cir-cuit boards against stress on materials, caused byabnormal environmental conditions.

    If the relay fails in operation or if the operatingvalues remarkably differ from those of the relayspecifications, the relay should be given a properoverhaul. Minor measures can be taken by per-sonnel from the instrument workshop of thecustomers company, e.g. replacement of auxil-iary relay modules. All major measures involv-ing overhaul of the electronics are to be taken bythe manufacturer. Please contact the manufac-turer or his nearest representative for furtherinformation about checking, overhaul and re-calibration of the relay.

    Note!Numerical protection relays contain electroniccircuits which are liable to serious damage due toelectrostatic discharge. Before removing a mod-ule containing electronic circuits, ensure thatyou are at the same electrostatic potential as theequipment, for instance, by touching the relaycase.

    Note!Static protective relays are measuring instru-ments and should be handled with care andprotected against moisture and mechanical stress,especially during transport.

    The relay is housed in a normally flush-mountedcase. The relay can also be arranged for semi-flush mounting with the use of a 40 mm, 80 mmor 120 mm raising frame, which reduces thedepth behind the panel by the same dimension.The type designations of the raising frames areSPA-ZX 111 for the 40 mm, SPA-ZX 112 forthe 80 mm and SPA-ZX 113 for the 120 mmframe. A surface mounting case SPA - ZX 110is also available.

    The relay case is made of profile aluminium andfinished in beige.

    A cast aluminium alloy mounting frame with arubber gasket provides a degree of protection byenclosure to IP 54 between the relay case and thepanel surface when the relay is panel mounted.

    The relay case is complete with a hinged gasketed,clear, UV-stabilized polycarbonate cover with asealable fastening screw. The degree of protec-tion by enclosure of the cover is also IP 54.

    A terminal strip and two multipole connectorsare mounted on the back of the relay case tofacilitate all input and output connections. Toeach heavy duty terminal, i.e. the measuringinput, the power supply input or the trip out-put, one 6 mm2 or one or two 2.5 mm2 wires canbe connected. No terminal lugs are needed. Thesignalling outputs are available on a six poledetachable connector and the serial bus con-nects a 9-pin D-type connnector.

  • 3Controlpush-buttons

    The front panel of the relay module containstwo push buttons. The RESET / STEP pushbutton is used for resetting operation indicatorsand for stepping forward or backward in thedisplay main menu or submenus. The PRO-GRAM push button is used for moving from a

    certain position in the main menu to the corre-sponding submenu, for entering the settingmode of a certain parameter and together withthe STEP push button for storing the set values.The different operations are described in thesubsequent paragraphs in this manual.

    Display The measured and set values and the recordeddata are shown on the display of the protectionrelay module. The display consists of four digits.The three green digits to the right show themeasured, set or recorded value and the leftmostred digit shows the code number of the register.The measured or set value displayed is indicatedby the adjacent yellow LED indicator on thefront panel. When a recorded fault value is beingdisplayed the red digit shows the number of thecorresponding register. When the display func-tions as an operation indicator the red digitalone is shown.

    When the auxiliary voltage of a protection relaymodule is switched on the module initially teststhe display by stepping through all the segmentsof the display for about 15 seconds. At first thecorresponding segments of all digits are lit oneby one clockwise, including the decimal points.Then the center segment of each digit is lit oneby one. The complete sequence is carried outtwice. When the test is finished the display turnsdark. The testing can be interrupted by pressingthe STEP push button. The protection func-tions of the relay module are alerted throughoutthe testing.

    Display main menu Any data required during normal operation areaccessible in the main menu i.e. present meas-ured values, present setting values and recordedparameter values.

    The data to be shown in the main menu aresequentially called up for display by means ofthe STEP push button. When the STEP pushbutton is pressed for about one second, thedisplay moves forward in the display sequence.When the push button is pressed for about 0.5seconds, the display moves backward in thedisplay sequence.

    From a dark display only forward movement ispossible. When the STEP push button is pushedconstantly, the display continuously moves for-ward stopping for a while in the dark position.

    Unless the display is switched off by stepping tothe dark point, it remains lit for about 5 minutesfrom the moment the STEP push button waslast pushed. After the 5 minutes' time-out thedispaly is switched off.

    Display submenus Less important values and values not very oftenset are displayed in the submenus. The numberof submenus varies with different relay moduletypes. The submenus are presented in the de-scription of the concerned protection relaymodule.

    A submenu is entered from the main menu bypressing the PROGRAM push button for aboutone second. When the push button is released,the red digit of the display starts flashing, indi-cating that a submenu has been entered. Goingfrom one submenu to another or back to themain menu follows the same principle as whenmoving from the main menu display to another;

    the display moves forward when the STEP pushbutton is pushed for one second and backwardwhen it is pushed for 0.5 seconds. The mainmenu has been re-entered when the red displayturns dark.

    When a submenu is entered from a main menuof a measured or set value indicated by a LEDindicator, the indicator remains lit and the ad-dress window of the display starts flashing. Asubmenu position is indicated by a flashing redaddress number alone on the dispaly withoutany lit set value LED indicator on the frontpanel.

  • 4Selector switch-groups SGF, SGBand SGR

    Part of the settings and the selections of theoperation characteristic of the relay modules invarious applications are made with the selectorswitchgroups SG_ . The switchgroups are soft-ware based and thus not physically to be foundin the hardware of the relay module. The indi-cator of the switchgroup is lit when the checksumof the switchgroup is shown on the display.Starting from the displayed checksum and byentering the setting mode, the switches can beset one by one as if they were real physicalswitches. At the end of the setting procedure, achecksum for the whole switchgroup is shown.The checksum can be used for verifying that theswitches have been properly set. Fig. 2 shows anexample of a manual checksum calculation.

    When the checksum calculated according to theexample equals the checksum indicated on thedisplay of the relay module, the switches in theconcerned switchgroup are properly set.

    Switch No Pos. Weigth Value

    1 1 x 1 = 12 0 x 2 = 03 1 x 4 = 44 1 x 8 = 85 1 x 16 = 166 0 x 32 = 07 1 x 64 = 648 0 x 128 = 0

    Checksum = 93

    Fig. 2. Example of calculating the checksum ofa selector switchgroup SG_.

    The functions of the selector switches of thedifferent protection relay modules are describedin detail in the manuals of the different relaymodules.

    Settings Most of the start values and operate times are setby means of the display and the push buttons onthe front panel of the relay modules. Eachsetting has its related indicator which is lit whenthe concerned setting value is shown on thedisplay.

    In addition to the main stack of setting valuesmost D type relay modules allow a second stackof settings. Switching between the main settings

    and the second settings can be done in threedifferent ways:

    1) By command V150 over the serial communi-cation bus

    2) By an external control signal BS1, BS2 orRRES (BS3)

    3) Via the push-buttons of the relay module, seesubmenu 4 of register A.

    Setting mode Generally, when a large number of settings is tobe altered, e.g. during commissioning of relaysystems, it is recommended that the relay set-tings are entered with the keyboard of apersonal computer provided with the necessarysoftware. When no computer nor software isavailable or when only a few setting values needto be altered the procedure described below isused.

    The registers of the main menu and the submenuscontain all parameters that can be set. Thesettings are made in the so called setting mode,which is accessible from the main menu or asubmenu by pressing the PROGRAM pushbutton, until the whole display starts flashing.This position indicates the value of the param-eter before it has been altered. By pressing thePROGRAM push button the programming se-quence moves forward one step. First therightmost digit starts flashing while the rest ofthe display is steady. The flashing digit is set bymeans of the STEP push button. The flashing

    cursor is moved on from digit to digit by press-ing the PROGRAM push button and in eachstop the setting is performed with the STEPpush button. After the parameter values havebeen set, the decimal point is put in place. At theend the position with the whole display flashingis reached again and the data is ready to bestored.

    A set value is recorded in the memory by press-ing the push buttons STEP and PROGRAMsimultaneously. Until the new value has beenrecorded a return from the setting mode willhave no effect on the setting and the formervalue will still be valid. Furthermore any attemptto make a setting outside the permitted limits for aparticular parameter will cause the new value to bedisqualified and the former value will be main-tained. Return from the setting mode to themain menu or a submenu is possible by pressingthe PROGRAM push button until the greendigits on the display stop flashing.

  • 5NOTE! During any local man-machine com-munication over the push buttons and the dis-play on the front panel a five minute time-outfunction is active. Thus, if no push button hasbeen pressed during the last five minutes, therelay returns to its normal state automatically.This means that the display turns dark, the relayescapes from a display mode, a programmingroutine or any routine going on, when the relayis left untouched. This is a convenient way outof any situation when the user does not knowwhat to do.

    Before a relay module is inserted into the relaycase, one must assure that the module has beengiven the correct settings. If there however is

    any doubt about the settings of the module to beinserted, the setting values should be read usinga spare relay unit or with the relay trip circuitsdisconnected. If this cannot be done the relaycan be sett into a non-tripping mode by pressingthe PROGRAM push button and powering upthe relay module simultaneously. The displaywill show three dashes "- - -" to indicate the non-tripping mode. The serial communication isoperative and all main and submenues are acces-sible. In the non-tripping mode unnecessarytrippings are avoided and the settings can bechecked. The normal protection relay mode isentered automatically after a timeout of fiveminutes or ten seconds after the dark displayposition of the main menu has been entered.

    Recordedinformation

    The parameter values measured at the momentwhen a fault occurs or at the trip instant arerecorded in the registers. The recorded data,except for some parameters, are set to zero bypressing the push buttons STEP and PRO-GRAM simultaneously. The data in normalregisters are erased if the auxiliary voltage supplyto the relay is interrupted, only the set values andcertain other essential parameters are maintainedin non-volatile registers during a voltage failure.

    The number of registers varies with differentrelay module types. The functions of the regis-ters are illustrated in the descriptions of thedifferent relay modules. Additionally, the sys-tem front panel of the relay contains a simplifiedlist of the data recorded by the various relaymodules of the protection relay.

    All D type relay modules are provided with twogeneral registers: register 0 and register A.

    Register 0 contains, in coded form, the informa-tion about e.g. external blocking signals, statusinformation and other signals. The codes areexplained in the manuals of the different relaymodules.

    Register A contains the address code of the relaymodul which is reqiured by the serial communi-cation system.

    Submenu 1 of register A contains the data trans-fer rate value, expressed in kilobaud, of the serialcommunication.

    Submenu 2 of register A contains a bus commu-nication monitor for the SPAbus. If the protec-tion relay, which contains the relay module, islinked to a system including a contol datacommunicatoe, for instance SRIO 1000M andthe data communication system is operating,the counter reading of the monitor will be zero.Otherwise the digits 1...255 are continuouslyscrolling in the monitor.

    Submenu 3 contains the password required forchanging the remote settings. The address code,the data transfer rate of the serial communica-tion and the password can be set manually or viathe serial communication bus. For manual set-ting see example 1.

    The default value is 001 for the address code, 9.6kilobaud for the data transfer rate and 001 forthe password.

    In order to secure the setting values, all settingsare recorded in two separate memory bankswithin the non-volatile memory. Each bank iscomplete with its own checksum test to verifythe condition of the memory contents. If, forsome reason, the contents of one bank isdisturbed, all settings are taken from the otherbank and the contents from here is transferred tothe faulty memory region, all while the relay isin full operation condition. If both memorybanks are simultaneously damaged the relay willbe be set out of operation, and an alarm signalwill be given over the serial port and the IRFoutput relay

    Trip test function Register 0 also provides access to a trip testfunction, which allows the output signals of therelay module to be activated one by one. If theauxiliary relay module of the protection assem-bly is in place, the auxiliary relays then willoperate one by one during the testing.

    When pressing the PROGRAM push buttonfor about five seconds, the green digits to theright start flashing indicating that the relaymodule is in the test position. The indicators ofthe settings indicate by flashing which outputsignal can be activated. The required outputfunction is selected by pressing the PROGRAMpush button for about one second.

    The indicators of the setting quantities refer tothe following output signals:

    Setting I> Starting of stage I>Setting t> Tripping of stage I>Setting I>> Starting of stage I>>Setting t>> Tripping of stage I>>etc.No indication Self-supervision IRF

    The selected starting or tripping is activated bysimultaneous pressing of the push buttonsSTEP and PROGRAM. The signal remainsactivated as long as the two push butttons arepressed. The effect on the output relays dependson the configuration of the output relay matrixswitches.

    The self-supervision output is activated by press-ing the STEP push button 1 second when nosetting indicator is flashing. The IRF output isactivated in about 1 second after pressing of theSTEP push button.

    The signals are selected in the order illustrated inFig. 4.

    Operationindication

    Fault codes

    A relay module is provided with a multiple ofseparate operation stages, each with its ownoperation indicator shown on the display and acommon trip indicator on the lower part of thefront plate of the relay module.

    The starting of a relay stage is indicated with onenumber which changes to another number whenthe stage operates. The indicator remains glow-ing although the operation stage resets. The

    In addition to the protection functions the relaymodule is provided with a self-supervision sys-tem which continuously supervises the functionof the microprocessor, its program executionand the electronics.

    Shortly after the self-supervision system detectsa permanent fault in the relay module, the redIRF indicator on the front panel is lit . At thesame time the module puts forward a controlsignal to the output relay of the self-supervisionsystem of the protection relay.

    In most fault situations a fault code, indicatingthe nature of the fault, appears on the display of

    the module. The fault code, which consists of ared figure "1" and a three digit green codenumber, cannot be removed from the display byresetting. When a fault occurs, the fault codeshould be recorded and stated when service isordered. When in a fault mode, the normalrelay menus are operative, i.e. all setting valuesand measured values can be accessed althoughthe relay operation is inhibited. The serial com-munication is also operative making it possibleto access the relay information also from aremote site. The internal relay fault code shownon the display remains active until the internalfault possibly disappears and can also be re-motely read out as variable V 169.

    indicator is reset by means of the RESET pushbutton of the relay module. An unreset opera-tion indicator does not affect the function of theprotection relay module.

    In certain cases the function of the operationindicators may deviate from the above princi-ples. This is described in detail in the descrip-tions of the separate modules.

    Description ofunits

    Thermal overloadunit

    The thermal overload unit constitutes an ad-equate thermal protection for the motor undervarying load conditions. The heating-up of amotor follows an exponential curve, the level-out value of which is determined by the squaredvalue of the load current. The operating valuesof the thermal unit are defined by means of tworelay settings. The full load current (FLC) set-ting I defines the thermal operating level ofthe unit and the time setting t6x defines theoperate time. The setting t6x is the operate timeof the thermal unit at six times FLC, startingfrom a cold motor condition.

    The thermal unit comprises two different ther-mal curves, one describing short and long timeoverloads, carrying out the tripping and an othercurve keeping track of the thermal background.A weighting factor p which determines the ra-tio of thermal increase of the two curves issettable between 20% and 100%. For direct on-line started motors having a characteristic hot-spot behaviour p is typically set at 50%. For theprotection of objects without hot-spot charac-teristics, e.g. cables or motors started with softstarters, a setting p =100% is used.

    A multiplexer continuously monitors the ener-gizing input signals and selects the highest phasevalue. As long as the motor current stays belowthe set full load current I, the relay will notcause a tripping. It only monitors the thermalcondition of the motor, in order to take the priorthermal history into account under a heavy loadcondition. If the current continuously exceedsthe set full load current value I by more thanfive per cent, all of the thermal capacity of themotor will be used after a time, which dependson the set FLC, the set stall time and the priorload of the motor. When the thermal level ex-ceeds the set prior alarm level a, a prior alarmsignal is given, if routed to an output relay withswitch SGR1/1 or SGR2/1. The prior alarm isindicated by a figure 1 on the display. Trippingdue to overload is indicated by a figure 2 andcarried out when the thermal level exceeds100%. Whenever the thermal capacity hasreached a level above the set thermal restart in-hibit level i, the restart enable output relay isdisengaged. In this way, unnecessary motor start-up attempts are prevented. During the restartinhibit time a figure 3 is presented on the dis-play, after that the other thermal function indi-cations have been acknowledged.

  • 4An estimate of the waiting time left, before asuccessful restart can be made, is found in reg-ister 9. For thermal operate times, see the ther-mal trip diagrams on page 4 and 5. The restartinhibit function can be set out of operation byturning switch SG4/2 in position 1.

    For varying currents, the thermal unit behavesin different ways depending on the value of theweighting factor p:- When e.g. p = 50% the thermal unit takes

    into account the hot spot behaviour of themotor and distinguishes between short timethermal stress and a long time thermal historybackground. After a short period of thermalstress, e.g. a start-up, the thermal level quiterapidly decreases, thus simulating the levellingout of the motor hot spots. This means thatthe availability of the motor is higher for suc-cessive start-ups. This can be seen by compar-ing the hot and cold curves on page 4 and 5.

    - When p = 100%, the thermal level after aheavy load condition only slowly decreasesaccording to the new lower load level. Thismakes the unit suitable for applications, whereno hot spot behaviour is to be expected, e.g.motors started with soft starters or cables orsimilar objects, where no hot spots exist.

    A standstill of the motor is determined by themotor current being less than 12 per cent of I.During a standstill condition, the reduced cool-ing properties of the motor are taken into ac-count by making the cooling time constantlonger than the heating time constant deter-mined by the t6x setting. The multiplier kc ofthe heating time constant to obtain the coolingtime constant can be adjusted within the inte-ger range 164.

    A start-up condition of the motor is defined bya sequence, where the initial current is less than12% of I, i.e. the motor is at standstill, andwhere the current within about 60 ms rises to avalue higher than 1.5 times I. When the cur-rent falls below 1.25 times I for a time of about100 ms, the start-up condition is defined to beover. The start-up counter is incremented forevery start and can indicate up to 999 starts,after which it starts counting from zero again.The start-up time refers to the time the currentvalue is between the two current levels men-tioned above. It should be noted that a start-upclears all front panel indications and writes anew set of memorized operational values. Thestart-up information can be routed to outputSS1.

    After a loss of auxiliary supply or whenever pow-ered up, the relay assumes the motor to be heatedup to a level corresponding to about 70 per centof the full thermal capacity of the motor. Thisensures that under heavy load conditions, trip-ping is carried out in a safe time. Under a low-load condition, the thermal replica of the relayslowly decays to the actual level determined bythe motor currents.

    Note!At low prior alarm settings the connection ofthe auxiliary supply to the relay will cause a ther-mal prior alarm because of the initialization to70%. A cold 0% thermal reference level for test-ing can be established by keeping both buttonsdepressed on powering-up.

  • 7Start-up supervisionunit

    The start-up stall protection can be carried outin two ways as selected with switch SGF/7:

    1. Start-up supervision based on definite timeovercurrent protection

    The most straightforward way is to monitor thestart-up time using a definite time overcurrentfunction. The start condition is detected by thefact that the setting Is is exceeded and the al-lowed start-up time is set as ts. The dis-advan-tage with this configuration is that the maxi-mum allowed start-up time is fixed and doesnot allow for a growing start-up time during alow voltage condition.

    The overcurrent stage starts if the current onone or several phases exceeds the setting value.If the overcurrent situation lasts long enoughto exceed the set operating time, the unit callsfor a C.B. tripping by issuing a tripping signal.At the same time the operation indicator is litwith red light and the display shows a red fig-ure 6. The red operation indicators remain onalthough the protection stage resets. The indi-cators are reset with the RESET push-button.By proper configuration of the output relay switch-groups a trip signal can be generated from thesignal SS2 or SS3. The start signal can be routeddirectly to the output SS1via switch SG4/3.

    The current I> setting range of the stage is1.0...10 x In. The operate time ts of the over-current stage is set within the range 0.3...80 s.

    The operation of the low-set overcurrent unit isprovided with a latching feature (switch SGB/8),which keeps the trip output energized, althoughthe fault that caused the operation has disap-peared. The output relay may be reset in fivedifferent ways; a) by pressing the PROGRAMpush-button, b) by pressing the STEP and PRO-GRAM push-buttons simul-taneously, by re-mote control over the SPA bus using c) the com-mand V101 or d) the command V102 and fur-ther e) by remote control over the external con-trol input. When resetting according to a) or c)no stored data are erased, but when resettingaccording to b), d) or e) the recorded data areerased.

    2. Start-up supervision based on thermal stresscalculation

    The settings Is and ts can also be used in an-other way by selecting the function mode Is2 xts with selector switch SGF/7. In this case thecurrent Is is set equal to the actual start-up cur-rent of the motor and the time ts is set to thenormal start-up time of the motor. The relaynow calculates the product Is2 x ts, which is equal

    to the amount of thermal stress built up duringa normal start-up of the motor. During themotor start-up the relay then continuouslymeasures the start current, raises the value intothe second power and multiplies it with the run-ning time.

    If the software switch SG4/1 has been set inposition 1, the unit starts counting the Is2 x tsvalue as soon as the start current value Is is ex-ceeded. When the counted value exceeds the setIs2 x ts value the unit operates. The START sig-nal can be routed directly to the output SS1 viaswitch SG4/3.

    At operation the indicator is lit with red lightand the display shows a red figure 6. The redoperation indicators remain lit although theprotection stage resets. The indicators are resetwith the RESET push-button. By proper con-figuration of the output relay switchgroups atrip signal can be generated from the signal SS2or SS3. This type of start-up monitoring alsoensures that the low voltage conditions are ca-tered for by allowing the start-up time to growuntil the set maximum thermal stress is ex-ceeded.

    The start current setting range of the stage is1.0...10 x In. The operate time ts of the over-current stage is set within the range 0.3...80 s.

    The operation of the low-set overcurrent unit isprovided with a latching feature (switch SGB/8),which keeps the tripping output energized, al-though the fault that caused the operation hasdisappeared. The output relay may be reset infive different ways; a) by pressing the PRO-GRAM push-button, b) by pressing the STEPand PROGRAM push-buttons simultaneously,by remote control over the SPA bus using c) thecommand V101 or d) the command V102 andfurther e) by remote control over the externalcontrol input. When resetting according to a)or c) no stored data are erased, but when reset-ting according to b), d) or e) the recorded dataare erased.

    3. Start-up supervision with a motor speed switch

    For some ExE-type motors the safe stall time isshorter than the normal start-up time of themotor. In this case a speed switch on the motorshaft is needed to give information aboutwhether the motor is beginning to run up ornot when started. The information from thespeed switch is routed to the control input ter-minals 10 and 11 on the relay. On activationof the control input the counting of the defi-nite time or the building-up of thermal stress inthe start-up supervision unit is inhibited.

  • 8High-set overcurrentunit

    The high-set overcurrent stage starts if the cur-rent on one or several phases exceeds the settingvalue. When starting, the stage issues a startingsignal. If the overcurrent situation lasts longenough to exceed the set operate time, the unitcalls for a C.B. tripping by providing a trippingsignal. At the same time the operation indica-tor is lit with red light. The red operation indi-cator remains on although the stage resets. Theindicator is reset with the RESET push-button.The trip signal is always routed to output SS3and can also, by programming, be routed tooutput SS2.

    The start current setting range of the high-setovercurrent stage is 0.5...20 x In. The operatetime t>> of the high-set overcurrent stage is setwithin the range 0.04...30 s.

    The operation of the high-set overcurrent unitis provided with a latching feature (switch SGB/7or SGB/8), which keeps the tripping outputenergized, although the fault that caused theoperation has disappeared. The output relay maybe reset in five different ways; a) by pressing thePROGRAM push-button, b) by pressing theSTEP and PROGRAM push-buttons simulta-

    neously, by remote control over the SPA bususing c) the command V101 or d) the commandV102 and further e) by remote control over theexternal control input. When resetting accord-ing to a) or c) no stored data are erased, butwhen resetting according to b), d) or e) the re-corded data are erased.

    The setting value I>>/In of the high-set over-current stage may be given an automatic dou-bling function when the protected object is con-nected to the network, i.e. in a starting situa-tion. Hence the setting value of the high-setovercurrent stage may be lower than the con-nection inrush current. The automatic doubl-ing function is selected with switch SGF/2. Thestarting situation is defined as a situation wherethe phase currents rise from a value below 0.12x I to a value exceeding 1.5 x I in less than 60ms. The starting situation ends when the cur-rents fall below 1.25 x I.

    The high-set overcurrent stage may be set outof operation by means of switch SGF/1. Whenthe high-set unit is set out of operation the dis-play shows a "- - -" readout, indicating that theoperation value is infinite.

  • 9Earth-fault unit ping output energized, although the fault thatcaused the operation has disappeared. The out-put relay may be reset in five different ways; a)by pressing the PROGRAM push-button, b) bypressing the STEP and PROGRAM push-but-tons simultaneously, by remote control over theSPA bus using c) the command V101 or d) thecommand V102 and further e) by remote con-trol over the external control input. When re-setting according to a) or c) no stored data areerased, but when resetting according to b), d)or e) the recorded data are erased.

    To prohibit operation of the contactor in a con-tactor controlled drive at too high phase cur-rents, the earth-fault unit can be inhibited dur-ing a high-current condition by selecting switchSGF/3 and SGF/4. In this case, the operationof the earth-fault unit is inhibited as soon asthe phase currents exceed four, six or eight timesthe full load current I, as selected with the twoswitches.

    With isolated neutral networks it is in some casespossible to use the earth-fault unit in a non-tripping mode and only use the output for sig-nalling. This function can be obtained by open-ing switch SGR1/8 which links the earth-faultunit to the trip output TS2. If the unit is se-lected to be tripping, both the trip output TS2and the selected signal output relays are oper-ated. If the unit is set to be signalling onl
