TESTING OF MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY P225

USING SVERKER750 INJECTION KIT

RELAY SETTINGS:
Equipment – P012A
Phase CTR – 60/5A, Core Balance CT ~ 500/1A, PTR – 6600/100 V

Base Current – 50 Amps (Primary) = 50 x 60/5 = 4.2 Amps

Relay nominal current In – 5 Amps

Thermal overload (49)

Setting:
I theta (Thermal overload current threshold) = 115 % of I base = 1.15 x 4.2 = 4.8 Amps
(Note: Thermal tripping set value in P225 is fixed at 100%. Therefore in order to match
the motor setting of 115% overload the I theta set is increased.)
Heating Time Constant Te1 = Te2 = 14 minutes.
Cooling Time Constant – Tr = 28 minutes.
Negative Sequence Current Recognition Factor – Ke = 4

Testing:
Connect single phase current injection between two CT’s in series.
Disable 46, 48 and 50LR
Ensure that the thermal state is reset to zero.
Inject 2 x I theta = 9.6 Amps.
Thermal Alarm occurs at 90% and trip at 100% thermal state.
Note the time to alarm and trip for the cold characteristic.
Wait for the thermal state to fall to 90% and inject the same current again
Observe the time for tripping and verify with hot curve.

Negative Sequence (46)

Setting:
I2> - 30% In ,Time 6 seconds.
Testing:
Enable the trip
Single phase injection to two CT’s
Set the time to zero.
Inject 3 x 0.3 x 5 A = 4.5 Amps
Observe the pick up value.
Increase the time to set value of 6 sec. and inject 1.5 x I pick-up and note the time.
Short Circuit (50)
Setting:
I>> - 8.4 x In, Time – 50 mSec.
(To match the setting of 500 Amps. 8.4 x 5 = 42 Amps = 42 x 12 = 504 A (Primary)
Testing:
Single phase injection to two CT’s
Inject 42 Amps and find the pick-up and time delay.

Excess Long Start (48)

Setting:
I start detection = 2.0 I theta, tI start – 6 seconds.
Testing:
Single phase injection to two CT’s
Disable 46 and 50LR
Connect 48 V dc supply to relay terminals 22/24 through auxiliary contact of the
injection kit to close the contact when injection is started. (To simulate Circuit Breaker
contact)
Ensure that start detection mode is set to 52 + I.
Set the time delay to zero. Increase the injected current to 9.6 Amps to note the pick-up
value. Set the time to 6 sec and test the relay function again.

Block Rotor (50LR)

Setting:
I stall detection = 2.0 I theta, tI stall – 6 seconds.
Testing:
Single phase injection to two CT’s
Disable 46 and 48
Set the time delay to zero. Increase the injected current to 9.6 Amps to note the pick-up
value. Set the time to 6 sec and test the relay function again.

Earth Fault (50G)

Setting:
I 0 > - 0.006 milli Amps, Time 50 milli Sec.
Testing:
Connect injection current wires between relay contacts 55 / 56 0
Carry out primary injection and note the current = 2.8 – 3.0 A (Approx.)
Carry out secondary injection with a current setting of 1.0 Amp and verify relay
operation and time values.

RTD Protection (38)

Setting:
Alarm and Trip settings are made according to the motor make.
Testing:
Connect resistance box to the RTD terminals at the top of the panel and test by varying
the resistance values.
