Motor protection
Operating conditions
There are many possible causes of electric motor failure. One of the most common, and which is often accidental, is
the utilisation of motors beyond the operating limits defined by the manufacturer or in abnormal ambient conditions.
A statistical survey carried out in Britain, covering 9000 incidents of motor failure, gave the following results :
Overloads 30 %
Phase failure 14 %
Bearing failure 13 %
Rotor faults 5%
Miscellaneous 9%
An examination of the above results shows that, in more than 50 % of cases, the fault is due to the effects of heating.
Leaving aside the replacement of wearing parts, such as bearings, slip rings, brushes, etc., the life of a rotating machine
is linked to that of its insulation. Provided that the temperature rise limit is not exceeded, the life expectancy of insulating
materials is extremely long. It is decreased by approximately one half for an excess temperature rise of 10 °C.
The operating temperature limit TL of an insulating material depends on the type of material and is the sum of the
ambient air temperature AT (cooling air), the temperature rise limit TRL and an additional temperature rise value ATR
considered necessary because the measurement of winding resistance variation does not determine the temperature
of the hottest part of the motor winding, but only gives an average value for temperature rise.
The diagram below defines the standardised limits for different classes of insulation. In all cases, the normal ambient
cooling air temperature is fixed at 40 °C.

Motor protection
The rated power of a motor corresponds to its temperature rise limit for an ambient temperature of 40 °C. The
temperature rise limits for the different parts of a machine are given in the following table, which is an extract from IEC
publication 34-1.
Insulation class
B F H
When a motor is used at an ambient air temperature other than the normal value, its temperature rise limit should be
modified in order to maintain the same maximum temperature limit. The result is that the motor operational power is no
longer the same as its rated power.
Also, the altitude of the installation, if this is above 1000 m, affects the cooling and increases the temperature rise.
The following table gives the ratio between operational power and rated power, according to the operating conditions,
for a given ambient temperature. It corresponds to insulation class B.
m 30 °C 35 °C 40 °C 45 °C 50 °C 55 °C 60 °C
The values shown in the above table are for guidance only. In effect, the derating of a motor depends on its size,
insulation class, method of construction (self-ventilated or forced ventilation, degree of protection IP 23, IP 44, etc.),
and varies according to the manufacturer.
Also, in addition to the normal ambient conditions, the rated power of a motor is defined by the manufacturer for
continuous duty S1. This covers continuous operation of sufficient duration to enable the motor to reach a steady
temperature. It is this value of rated power that is normally shown on the motor plate.
There are other standardised types of duty, such as temporary duty S2, or intermittent periodic duty type S3, S4 and
S5, for which the motor manufacturer defines an operational power appropriate to each and different from the rated power.
(1) For temperature rise limits of 90 °C and 100 °C the brushes must be selected with the agreement of the motor
manufacturer.
(2) These limit values may be exceeded depending on the quality of the grease used and the applied loads.
Motor protection
To optimise the life of a motor, it is important to select the appropriate thermal protection which will prevent operation
under abnormal heating conditions, whilst ensuring maximum continuity in the operation of the driven machine or
associated plant by avoiding unnecessary stoppages.
A conventional thermal overload relay protects the motor in the following two cases :
It therefore covers 44% of the cases of motor failure. This type of protection relay is widely used, is extremely reliable
and is a relatively low cost device. It is particularly recommended if there is a risk of rotor stalling.
Nevertheless, it has the disadvantage of not taking into account, with sufficient accuracy, the thermal state of the motor.
The operating principle of this type of device is, in fact, based on the bending of bimetal strips caused by the current
drawn by the motor. As the thermal inertias of the overload relay and motor are different, in some cases it may be
possible to restart the motor following an overload trip even though its temperature is still too high.
Better monitoring of the internal motor temperature can be provided by PTC thermistor probes, embedded in the motor
windings during manufacture, associated with a thermistor protection relay (type LT3-S).

These overload relays are designed for the protection of motors. They are compensated and phase failure sensitive.
Resetting can either be manual or automatic.
Direct mounting: under the contactor for versions with screw clamp terminals only; pre-wired terminals, see pages
22008/2 and 22009/3.
Separate mounting: using terminal block LA7-K0064 (see below).
On the front face of the overload relay :
- selection of reset mode: Manual (marked H) or Automatic (marked A),
- red pushbutton: Trip Test function,

/ Pressing the “STOP” button : / Operation of the “TEST” button simulates tripping of the relay and :
- actuates the N/C contact. - actuates both the N/O and N/C contacts,
- has no effect on the N/O contact. - actuates the trip indicator 5.

Application
LT3 Sp thermistor protection units continuously monitor the temperature of the
machines to be protected (motors, generators, etc.) by means of PTC thermistor
probes embedded in the machine windings.
If the nominal operating temperature of the probes is reached, they convert the rapid
increase in resistance into a switching function which can be used to switch off the
machine or signal a fault (see paragraph relating to thermistor probes below).
Accidental breaks in the supply circuits of the thermistors are also detected.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforming to "Electromagnetic compatibility" directive.
Conforming to standard EN 61000-6-2.
Thermistor probes
Range of most commonly used PTC thermistor probes:
from 90 to 160 °C, in steps of 10 °C.
Curve R = f (q), characteristic of a PTC thermistor probe, is defined by standard
IEC 60947-8.
The choice of PTC thermistor probe to be incorporated in the motor winding depends
on the insulation class, the type of motor and the most suitable location for the probe.
This choice is usually made by the motor manufacturer or the motor rewinder, who
have all the necessary information.

Setting-up
Cabling
It is inadvisable to use the same multi-core cable for the thermistor probe circuit and the power circuit. This is especially important for long cable runs.
If it is impossible to comply with the above recommendation, a pair of twisted conductors must be used for the thermistor probe circuit.
Testing the insulation of the line connecting the thermistors to the LT3 S unit
Before carrying out this test, short-circuit all the terminals of the LT3 S protection unit.
Measure the insulation value between these terminals and earth using a megger or a flash tester, progressively increasing the voltage to the value defined by the
standards.
Checking the PTC thermistor probes for correct operation
With the machine stopped, in the cold state and after having taken all the necessary safety precautions:
b disconnect the line linking the thermistors to the LT3 S protection unit, at the terminals of the machine being protected: motor, etc.,
b using an ohmmeter with a voltage rating less than or equal to 2.5 V, measure the resistance of the probe circuit at the machine terminals,
b depending on the number and type of thermistors connected in series, check that their resistance value at 25 °C is correct.
Example: motor fitted with 3 PTC thermistor probes with a resistance y 250 W at 25 °C.
Any value higher than 250 x 3 = 750 W indicates a problem.

General
The RM1-XA electromagnetic relay detects overcurrent peaks in excess of the maximum permissible current value. It
is designed for the protection of circuits which are not subject to current peaks (starters, resistors) or for controlling
starting peaks on slip ring motors.
It trips instantaneously and is not suitable for frequent operation (12 operating cycles per hour). It can withstand a
continuous current equivalent to 1.25 times the minimum setting current.
