edge of technology developing

Solid State affordable solid state overload relays
that utilize the latest Application
Overload Relays Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)
in their construction. This gives our
new CEP7 overload relay many
features that are simply not possible
with traditional bi-metallic or eutec-
tic alloy electromechanical overload
relays.
Advanced solid state
Self-powered design means
convenience
By developing the power it requires
from the applied voltage, the CEP7 is
“self-powered”, eliminating the need
for a separate control power source.
This is not the case with traditional
overloads and some other competi-
tive electronic overload relays. Since
the CEP7 is self-powered and a
typical auxiliary contact is used to

Unlike traditional overload relays schematic diagram provisions are

relays offer setting accuracies from
2.5 – 5% and repeat accuracy of 1%.

Choice of tripping
classes…
Because of today’s lighter T-frame
motors, Class 10 overload relays
(relays that trip within 10 seconds of
a locked rotor condition) have
become the industry standard. If your
application requires a longer motor
run-up time, however, a Class 20
version of the CEP7 is available in
all amp ranges.
CEP7 overload relays are available with
Class 10 or Class 20 tripping characteristics
Choice of reset options
Most industrial applications usually
call for an overload relay that must be
manually reset in the event of a trip.
This allows the cause of the overload
to be identified before the motor is
restarted. In specialized cases,
however, such as rooftop AC units or
where restarting the motor will not
harm people or equipment, automatic
reset may be desired. CEP7 overload
relays are available with either Manual
Reset exclusively, or Manual and
Automatic Reset models which can be
toggled to the desired mode.
Dramatically reduced energy requirements saves money
and reduces panel space
Because traditional overload relays
work on the principle of “modeling”
the heat generated in the motor
(recreating the heat in the bimetal
elements or heaters), a significant
amount of energy is wasted. In
traditional overload relays, as many
as six watts of heat are dissipated to
perform the protective function.
Because the CEP7 uses sampling
techniques to actually measure the
current flowing in the circuit, very
little heat is dissipated in the
device…as little as 150 milliwatts.
This not only reduces the total
amount of electrical energy con-
sumed in an application, but it can
also have a dramatic impact on the
design and layout of control panels.
The density of motor starters can be
much greater because less heat is
Wide current adjustment
range
CEP7 overload relays have a very
wide current adjustment range
(selected from a convenient dial on
the faceplate). As seen in the table
below, conventional bi-metallic
overload relays typically have a
current adjustment range of 1.5 to 1,
meaning that the maximum setting is
generally 1.5 times the lower setting.

generated by each of the individual
components. Higher density results
in smaller control panels. In addition,
special ventilation or air conditioning
that might have been required to
protect sensitive electronic equip-
ment such as PLC’s can now be
reduced or eliminated.

CEP7
Conventional overload relays dissipate as much
as six watts of energy compared with as little as
150 milliwatts for the CEP7
CEP7 relays, on the other hand, have
a current adjustment setting of
approximately 3.2 to 1. This reduces
overload relay stocks up to 60% and
helps assure the correct relay is
always on hand. For instance, with
equipment constructed for dual
voltage, i.e., 460 & 230V, the CEP7
may be adjusted in the field from the
460V current setting to twice the
current setting if used in a 230 volt
application.

CEP7 Application with (3) Current Transformers — Engineering Information

CEP7
CEP7 Solid State Overload Relays may be used with Current Transformers (CT’s) in applications where the motor Full Load Amps (FLA) are greater than the
largest available CEP7 overload relay (or in lieu of the CT6 overload relay or CEF1 Electronic Motor Protector).
Installation
1. The Overload Relay and Current Transformers (CT’s) should be wired in accordance with the tables below.
2. The Current Transformers (CT’s) must have a minimum thermal continuous current rating of 1.2 x FLA.
Setting the Overload Relay
1. Select Table-1, -2, -3 or -4, depending on the Current Transformer (CT) ratio being utilized.
2. Select the “Equivalent FLA”, which most closely matches the motor FLA, then set the overload relay dial to the corresponding
“Dial Set Position”. Note: the motor FLA may not exactly match the value in the Equivalent FLA column.
3. The overload relay dial settings are calculated as: Set Value = Dial Set Position / 1/(CT Ratio) = Equivalent FLA.
Example: CT Ratio is 500:5, motor FLA is 240A, set overload Dial Set Position @ 2.4; Set Value = 2.4 / (1/100) = 240

Table-1 Table-2 Table-3 Table-4

CT Ratio = 500:5 (100:1) CT Ratio = 600:5 (120:1) CT Ratio = 1000:5 (200:1) CT Ratio = 1500:5 (300:1)
Overload = CEP7-A32-5-10 Overload = CEP7-A32-5-10 Overload = CEP7-A32-5-10 Overload = CEP7-A32-5-10
