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 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.

Insulation classes
Motor protection
The rated power of a motor corresponds to its temperature rise limit for an ambient
temperature of 40 C. The standard temperature rise limits for the different parts of
a machine are given in the following table, which is an extract from publication
IEC 60034-1.
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.
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
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 locking.
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.
By monitoring the current through the current transformers with which they are
equipped, they provide protection against:
b overtorque or mechanical shock,
b locked rotor (mechanical locking under steady state conditions),
b phase failure.
They do not incorporate a thermal overload memory and can therefore be used to
provide motor protection in severe duty applications, such as:
b long starting times,
b frequent starting.
These relays have definite time characteristics: current threshold and time based
function
Because of their two separate time settings "D-Time" (starting time) and "O-Time"
(trip time during steady state), these over current relays can be combined with the
motor-starter function.

Motor protection
550 PTC probes are resistors with a positive temperature coefficient. Their resistance
value increases very rapidly when their temperature reaches the Nominal Operating
250
Temperature threshold, indicated by NOT on the curve opposite.
Their small size means that they have a low thermal inertia and can rapidly follow the
100 temperature variations of their surroundings.

Presentation
LR9 F electronic protection relays are especially suited to the operating conditions of
motors.
They provide protection against:
b thermal overload of 3-phase or single-phase balanced or unbalanced circuits;
b phase failure and large phase unbalance,
b protracted starting times,
b prolonged stalled rotor condition.
LR9 F electronic protection relays are mounted directly below an LC1 F type
contactor. They cover a range from 30 to 630 A, in eight ratings.
The settings can be locked by sealing the transparent protective cover.
A reset button is mounted on the front of the relay.
Two versions are available:
b simplified version: class 10: LR9 Fp3pp, class 20: LR9 Fp5pp,
b complete version: class 10, 10 A or class 20, selectable, conforming to
EN 60947-4-1: LR9 Fpp.
This latter version includes an alarm function which makes it possible to forestall
tripping by load shedding.
