Application

RAMDE can be used for both synchronous and asynchronous motors. There are two versions available; RAMDE 1 and RAMDE 2. RAMDE 1 should be used for synchronous motors where the idle running current is less than 10% of rated current. RAMDE 2 can be used in most other applications. The current measurements are based on RMS-values, therefore taking into consideration the harmonics common in todays industrial environments. The current-unbalance protection is independent of frequency and phase sequence and therefore also works for motors fed via frequency convertors or for reversible motors. All settings are made on the front of the unit. Set values, service current, thermal content, current unbalance, start time and start current are shown on the display.

Overload protection (Ib)

The protection, which is a thermal overcurrent relay, protects the motor against overheating. The thermal time constant is determined on the basis of the size and construction of the motor. To be able to use the motors optimal thermal capacity at start-up, the time constant can be increased. At 95% thermal content an alarm is triggered, which is indicated by a light emitting diode (LED), and which can be connected to an output relay. The cooling-down time constant can be prolonged to suit all types of cooling-down methods if the motor stops. Restarting of the motor is blocked after tripping until the thermal content has decreased below 50%. The relays thermal content can also be quickly emptied with a switch and the blocking will be released.

Application (contd)

The relay can be set with the Lock-out switch so that manual resetting must always be done before restarting.

sequence-currents, to detect inter-turn short circuits, two phase short circuits close to the stators zero point as well as phase failure.
Stalled rotor protection (I>stall)

For direct-on-line-started motors, the relays operate current should be set higher than the start current. For all motors, the relay should be set higher than the maximum fed short circuit current from the motor at external closeup short circuit.
Earth fault protection (I >)

A stalling or breaking of the rotor during service will be detected when the set starting time has run out. The delay gives selectivity against external faults and heavy varying load. The relay also works as a time delayed back-up short circuit protection when the motor is in service.
Repeated-start protection (tsv)

If several motors are connected to the same busbar, for selectivity reasons, every motor should have its own earth fault protection. The relay can be delayed to prevent undue tripping when it is being fed from residual connected current transformers.
Long-starting-time protection (tstart)

This protection is included only in the RAMDE 2 version. When a motor is started, there is a considerable rise in temperature in the rotor. To avoid overheating and temperature tensions there is a built-in 2 min block that prevents restarting. If, before a restart, the sum of earlier start times tstart and previous start time tstart is greater than the set start time tsv, then the restart will be blocked. If the thermal content in the motor is greater than what is caused from a 80% relative heat content, then restart will also be blocked. The RAMDE 1 version is not equipped with this protection since it is used to protect motors where the intermittent idle running current is less than 10% of rated current. Each time the load current increases this would correspond to a new start condition and the set start time tsv would soon be exceeded.

This protection mainly protects the rotor against overheating, during start. If the starting time is too long, the protection trips the motor breaker. At normal start and after set starting time the stalled rotor protection is activated.
Current-unbalance protection (I>)

The relay mainly protects the rotor. Unbalance in the line current, single-phase or twophase faults and phase failure will cause negative-sequence-current. Since the unbalance protection measure the difference between the phase currents, this allows for the measure of small negative-

Design

RAMDE consists primarily of three PC boards, a power supply unit, input circuits, processor board, and 3 or 4 input transformers all contained in an aluminium casing. An earthed internal shield system provides effective protection against external interference. The circuits are fed with auxiliary voltage from the power supply unit which galvanically separates internal and external voltage. The unit can be fed with either ac or dc voltage independent of polarity. RAMDE is available in several variants which differ in the following respects: - the way they are connected and installed - with or without earth fault protection

- with or without test switch - version 1 or 2 Mounting kit for flush or semiflush mounting of the relay is available. The operation for the following is described: - Setting - Normal service - Tripping
Setting

Setting is done by means of switches and potentiometers. Set values are displayed on the digital display by pushing repeatedly on the Mode button and at the same time the

LEDs to the left of the potentiometers for each protective function will light up with a steady glow.
Normal service

If the push sequence is not completed the display and the LED will go out after about 8 minutes.
Tripping

The green LED marked In Service is on. If the internal supervision discovers an internal fault or if the supply voltage is interrupted, the LED will go out and an alarm relay will pick up. If the Reset button (Service value) is pushed repeatedly, the following service values will be shown on the display at the same time as the appropriate LED lights up; - the motors load current as a factor of the motors rated current Iload - thermal content as percent Iload, - unbalanced current as a factor of the motors rated current I> - starting time tstart - starting current Istart - total starting time tstart (version 2)

Tripping is indicated by a flashing red LED. A tripping indication which has not been reset will automatically go out when another fault occurs. When tripping is caused by the thermal protection, the unbalance protection, or the stalled rotor protection, the load current or unbalanced current will be shown when resetting is done.
Incorrect setting

If a function is set outside its operating range, a flashing value will be shown on the display. If no thermal time constant is selected or if the overload protection is blocked, the display will show flashing zeros at the same time as the LED Ib flashes.
Blocking

The overload relay is blocked either by a switch or by not choosing a thermal time constant. The relays for Long start time or Stalled rotor are blocked by setting tstart on maximum, then the display is showing three nines. The unbalance relay is blocked by setting its potentiometer t1 to maximum, with the display once again showing nines.
