Protection features
Overload (49)
The protection feature is based on
mathematical model of motor thermal
image. The model utilises a heating
  
constant time values. It is input to the relay
by means of T parameter, which
describes the maximum period of time
when actual motor current value is allowed
to reach a sixfold increase of its nominal
value. Cooling constant time value is
calculated on the basis of the heating
constant. Configuring procedure of the
model includes setting of the motor base
current (nominal motor current) and T .  core balanced transformer or filter of
There are 2 thresholds. The first one for
alarm and the second one for trip.
It is possible to set a separate threshold
("theta forbid start") which is activated after
trip command and up to this threshold the
trip signal is present. This feature prevents
from close command.
Undercurrent (37)
It is based on undercurrent protection
with time delay tI<. Configuring
procedure of this protection facility
includes setting of the triggering
threshold at which undercurrent state is
detected, and time delay. This feature
benefits specifically when detecting drive
failures or no-load running of a pomp.
Unbalance (46)
Running motors at unbalance or loss of
phase conditions results in overheating,
even at current values below the
nominal. Principle of operation is based
on monitoring of the percentage of the
current unbalance in the three
subsequent phases L1, L2, L3 (A,B,C):
where:
LX is L1, L2, L3 respectively.
Configuring procedure of this protection
facility includes setting of the max. value
of current unbalance, and DT delay.
Loss of phase
This feature monitors phase current
values. Any phase current of a value
below 0.1xIB (where I is motor nominal
current) is recognised by the relay as
a lost phase. The relay trips a motor after
a set DT delay.
Over-temperature (38)
The relay may co-operate with motors
fitted with PTC sensors. PTC’s may be
linked in a serial loop of max 6 sensors.
This feature protects motor against slow
variations of temperature, taking into
account ambient and cooling conditions
(direct measurement of motor
temperature).
Since PTC sensors represent some
thermal inertia, dynamic changes of
motor temperature shall be detected by
motor thermal image feature.
Opening the loop (increase of the
circuit's resistance) is registered by the
relay as the result of PTC sensors
operation.
Earthfault (50N/51N) (option)
Earthfault protection is performed thanks
to the relay's connection to an external
current zero sequence component,
based on CT’s Holmgreen arrangement.
Zero sequence component is applied to
separate current terminals of the relay.
Setting parameters of this protection are
current threshold, and DT delay.
Short circuit fault (50/51)
If current threshold is set above current
value of motor starting, then a short-
circuit feature is enabled. This feature is
used exclusively in applications where a
circuit-breaker exists as a switching
device and is capable to trip short-circuit
current.
In applications where a contactor is used
the short-circuit protection must not be
enabled. Protection against short-circuit
faults is then performed by external fuses.
Excessive long start (38)
If the motor is subject to heavy load, this
function allows monitoring of the duration
of the motor's start-up phase. The detection
of the start-up is based on current criteria
only. If start-up phase is too long (greater
than time delay tIstart) there is trip
command or alarm signal.
Blocked rotor while running
or at start-up (50S/51LR)
During normal motor opertation, an
overcurrent threshold detects rotor stalling,
and the time delay setting (tIstall) is
calculated.
During motor start-up, a locked rotor is
detected with the help of a speed switch
signal, connected via the logic input S1-S2
(if set to this function). If during start-up
phase S1-S2 input is not shorted (it means
that the motor is stopped) the time delay
setting (tIstall) is calculated.
This protection can be set to trip or alarm.
Number of startings (66)
The max. number of motor's startings can
be defined, within a user-defined period
of time.
3
Emergency start-up
When required by security conditions or
startup process, a logic input can be
used to allow motor start-up. If the input
is energised, then the thermal image
function will be disabled (set to 0%).
Reaccelleration function
This function is used for the motors'
selfstarting. If there is no voltage on the
busbar (controlled via binary input: S1-
S2 or V2-C) this function is trigerred.
Calculation of the time delay
(authorization time of reaccelleration) is
commenced . If voltage returns again to
the busbar before the timing is
completed, the reaccelleration time
delay for close command is calculated.
After that time motor is started.
If P211 is supplied from AC auxiliary
voltage of the busbar, the maximum
authorization time of reacceleration is
limited down to 3s for 230VAC (after
switching the auxiliary voltage off, P211
works correctly for not less than 3s).
Such feature is very useful for contactor
LV application.

For DIN rail mounted version of the
relay it is possible to widen the relay
current range downwards, by multiple
interleaves of motor phase feeders
through the guiding channels in the
relay housing. These guiding channels
constitute primary side of internal
CTs'. E.g. fivefold interleaves of motor
phase feeders through the channels
will change the measuring range of
the relay from 3-6A down to 0.6-
1.2A.
It is also possible to widen the relay
current range upwards, by using
external CTs'. In such the case it is
recommended to use the relay version
of 3-6A setting range. The CTs’ should
have rated over-current factor of at
least 10 (they should transform
current up to 10 In).
Should you need any assistance with
purchasing the proper CTs', please
contact the relay manufacturer.
