TESTING OF EXCESS LONG START, BLOCKED ROTOR AND STALL PROTECTION IN MICOM P22O RELAY.

Panels supplied for different types of HT motors by BHEL Bhopal generally consist of MICOM P22 relay ma!e "#E$"% These relays are numerical relays and consist of all types of motor protections% Testing of these relays before commissioning of motors is re&uired at site% In these relays there is loc!ed rotor protection 'hich is chec!ed during the relay testing at site% There are t'o types of protection are incorporated( these are LOC)E* #OTO#( E+CE,, LO-. ,T"#T%

LOCKED ROTOR PROTECTION

It is the protection pro/ided to trip the brea!er from feeding the supply to motor 'hen rotor of the respecti/e motor got bloc!ed% Basically this protection is current based protection% Locked rotor protect o!

LOCKED ROTOR D/RING STARTING STAGE 0

This protection comes at the starting stage of motor% "t starting time( motor ta!e 1 to 2 times of rated current and then it reduces to it nominal /alue of current depending on load% ,tart up time is pro/ided to us by 3-IT that is BHEL Bhopal in Motor test reports% 4or these protection speed s'itch is pro/ided at motor end 'hich indicates if the motor turns% "s motor ta!es large current at the starting and this protection is current based so there is delay pro/ided for this protection to act so it is called loc!ed rotor time% T#k !$ e0#.p-e0 suppose loc!ed rotor time of motor is5 2 second and start up time of motor is22%1 seconds as in the case of 551 !' P" 4an here In ,LPP Mangrole% In these condition speed s'itch 'ill determine the motor healthy or unhealthy start up condition% There is -ormally closed 6-C7 contact of speed s'itch is pro/ided for ideal condition (if rotor is bloc!ed than these contact change to normally open 6-O7 and trip the brea!er and in healthy star up condition contact of speed s'itch remain as it is and motor starts up healthy% -o' for second case if start up time of motor is less than loc!ed rotor starts up time than there is no re&uirement of speed s'itch% Thus speed s'itch 'ill come under action at starting condition only%

Rotor "t#--ed d*r !$ !or.#- r*!'

This function is /alid only outside the starting stage of motor% That is( if rotor get loc!ed after healthy run of the motor( these protection act% ,o this function simply depends on the current ta!en by motor% "s during loc!ed rotor condition current of the motor goes on increasing as the current reaches the setting /alue the protection act and trip the motor%

The E+CE, LO-. ,T"#T function protects the motor if the starting phase lasts too long% To do this( it uses a starting current threshold Istart9 and a starting time delay tIstart% This threshold and this time delay can be ad:usted to allo' the starting current to pass% The MiCOM P22 relay uses follo'ing things for motor start;up detection0 < Closure of the contactor=circuit brea!er( or < Closure of the contactor=circuit brea!er and o/ershoot of the starting current threshold >Istart?% Here in .IPCL ,LPP Mangrol 'e ha/e done setting of both brea!er contact and o/er shoot of the starting current 612"@I7% It is deacti/ated on e8piry of the starting current time delay tIstart%If( on e8piry of the time delay tIstart( the current consumed by the motor has not fallen belo' the threshold Istart9 again( a prolonged start signal %LO-. ,T"#T t Istart 'ill be generated and it 'ill trip the brea!er% 4or testing E8cess Long start protection on Micom P22 relay 'e ha/e to feed Threshold current setting /alue along 'ith brea!er contact to relay terminal for start up detection% The detection of brea!er closed state should be pro/ided 'ithin A milliseconds along 'ith threshold /alue of current other'ise it 'ill not detect the start up condition of motor.
