MM30 MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY
1. INTRODUCTION
The MM30 relay provides many of the basic protective functions necessary for the protection of
small, medium, and large size motors. Five output relays are provided, of which four are
programmable. All settings, measurements, and programming of the relay are possible through its
front panel controls, or by means of a computer connected to the relay’s RS485 communications port.
The functions provided by the MM30 relay are:
n Thermal pre-alarm element (49)
n Thermal overload element (49)
n Locked rotor element (50S)
n Current unbalance element (46)
n Undercurrent (Loss of Load) element (37)
n Instantaneous overcurrent element (50)
n Time delayed high set overcurrent element (50D Definite Time)
n Ground overcurrent element (50G)
n Time delayed ground overcurrent element (51N)
n Too many sequential attempted starts element (66)
n Incomplete starting sequence element (48).
There are three optional inputs available on request as shown in Figure 4. The first is a remote trip
(R.T.) input, which is activated by an external contact closure. The second is a speed switch (S.C.)
input, which is activated when the motor fails to reach running conditions in the set start time. The
last is a remote thermal device (RTD) which provides a contact closure to the MM30 relay.
2. HANDLING
As with any piece of electronic equipment, care should be taken when handling the relay, particularly
in regards to electrostatic discharge, as the damage may not be immediately obvious. All Edison
relays are immune to electrostatic discharge when left in their protective case. However, when the
relay is removed from its case, the following practices should be observed.
n Touch the case to ensure that your body and the relay are at the same potential.
n Whenever possible, handle the exposed relay by the front panel, the rear connector, or by the
edges of the printed circuit boards. Avoid touching the individual electronic components or the
embedded traces on the circuit boards.
n If you must hand the exposed (i.e., drawn-out) relay to another person, make sure both of you
are at the same electrical potential.
n When setting the drawn-out relay down, make sure the surface is either anti-static or is at the
same electrical potential as your body.
n Relays should always be stored in their protective cases. If storage of a drawn-out relay outside
of its protective case is required, then the exposed relay should be placed in a suitable anti-static
plastic or foam container.
3. INSTALLATION
Edison relays are shipped either in single or double width cabinets, or in standard 19” 3U rack mount
enclosures that are capable of housing up to four Edison relays. Outline dimensions for the single
relay housing is shown in Figure 1. For dimensions of other cabinets, see catalog section 150-05.
The double case mounting is similar to the single case, but requires a 113mm L x 142mm H panel
opening. The 19” rack mount case is a standard 3U high 19” cabinet.
To remove the relay from its case, refer to Figure 2. The relay may be removed from its protective
case by turning with a flat bladed screwdriver the locking screws ℵ and ℑ on the front panel latches ℜ
4
S150-45-1
so that the slot on the screw is parallel to the ground. The latches may then be pulled from the inside
edge to release the relay. Carefully pull on the latches to remove the relay from the housing.

Locked Unlocked
To re-install the relay into its case, align the printed circuit boards with the guides in the relay case
and slide the relay in most of the way. For single and double cases, make sure the locking arm on the
back of each of the latches ℜ lines up with the locking pins in the case. Then push the latches in,
seating the relay. Turn the screws on the latches until the slot is perpendicular to the ground.
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Input quantities are supplied to three Current Transformers (two measuring phase currents - one
measuring the ground fault zero-sequence current). Rated current inputs can be either 1 or 5A.
Make electric connections in conformity with the diagram reported on the relay's enclosure. Check
that the input currents are the same as reported on the diagram and on the test certificate.
Auxiliary power is supplied via terminals 12 and 13, with a chassis ground at terminal 44. All Edison
relays are available with one of two interchangeable auto-ranging power supplies. Descriptions of the
input voltage ranges are given in Table 1. The input supply voltage is noted on the relay case. If the
relay is fitted with the incorrect power supply, the power supply boards are easily field replaceable.
See Bulletin S150-99-1 for instructions and part numbers.
5
MM30 MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY
All electrical connections, including the RS485 connections, are made on the back of the relay (See
Figure 3). All of the relay’s terminals will accept up to a No. 6 stud size spade connector (or any type
of lug up to 0.25” (6.3mm) wide), 12 AWG wire (4 mm²), or FASTON connectors. Electrical
connections must be made in accordance with one of the relay’s wiring connection diagrams shown in
Figure 4.
In Figure 4, the numbers next to the circles along the functional diagram of the relay indicate the
terminal numbers on the back of the relay as shown in Figure 3. Note that two different input
configurations are possible. The left-most connection shown in Figure 4 uses a window CT as the
source of zero sequence current for the relay. This will provide the most accurate zero sequence
current input. If this connection is not practical, then the connection shown to the right will provide the
zero sequence current.
The relay is shipped with the CT inputs set for either 1A or 5A nominal inputs. The 9th character of
the relay’s part number (PRMM30JH5S) will either be “1” or “5” indicating the factory set input range.
If the input range needs to be changed, for any of the CT inputs, this may be accomplished via
jumpers on the relay’s main circuit board (See Figure 6).

8. OUTPUT RELAYS
Five output relays are available (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5).
a) - The output relays R1,R2,R3,R4 are normally de-energized (energized on trip). These output
relays are user programmable and any of them can be associated to any of the MM30's functions.
Output relays 1 through 4 are user programmable to operate in conjunction with the tripping of any
protective element or elements. Relay 1 consists of two isolated SPST terminals, which may be
selected as being either normally open or normally closed. The other three output relays, 2-4, have
form C (i.e., SPDT) contact arrangements.
Reset of the output relays associated with the time delayed trip functions takes place automatically
when the tripping cause is cleared. One relay associated to the instantaneous element of the function
51 or 51N, after pick-up normally drops-out as soon as the tripping cause is cleared (current below the
set trip level). If the current remains above the trip level longer than the time delay programmed for
the same function, the drop-out of the instantaneous relay is then forced after an adjustable waiting
time [tBO] (Breaker failure protection control).
b) - The output relay R5 is normally energized, is not programmable and it is de-energized for:
- internal fault
- power supply failure
- during programming of the relay
- reached the maximum number of consecutive motor starting attempts
- restart Lock-out activated.
9. DIGITAL INPUTS
Upon a customer’s request, three digital inputs can be activated when the relevant terminals are
shorted.

The front panel of the MM30 relay contains of eight LEDs that are normally OFF and which act as the
targets for the relay elements. See Figure 7 for identification of the targets. The top row of four
targets from left to right corresponds respectively to: Over Temperature, Excessive Starts, No Load

15.1 INTRODUCTION
The following setting example is but one procedure of how the MM30 relay element settings could be
determined. This example will provide you with the basic steps required to determine settings for the
MM30 relay. The motor is considered to be started across the line.
Please Note:
The values derived in this example should not be used in your actual application.
These values are derived to provide a general setting example. The values are
determined for a specific motor which is operating under known system operating
voltage levels. These settings were not derived based upon any particular setting
philosophy. Your specific relay settings should be based upon your company’s
setting philosophy and the motor data information provided by the motor
manufacturer for your specific application.
22
S150-45-1
Starting Limitations:
Number of starts, coasting to rest between starts:
Two starts with motor initially at ambient temperature (cold)
One start with motor at service factor operating temperature (hot)
Cooling period, after either of above and before making an additional start:
30 minutes, motor running at service factor load
20 minutes, motor running, equipment unloaded
60 minutes, motor de-energized, coasted to rest and left idle.
15.2.2 STEP 2: SYSTEM, NAMEPLATE/DATA SHEET AND GENERAL SETTINGS
The following would be the element function settings that could be determined thus far based upon
the given data.
NodAd = 1 [Relay address assignment]
Fn = 60 [This is the System Frequency which should be found on the motor nameplate.]
In = 150 [Rated primary current of the phase CTs]
On = 150 [Rated primary current of the phase CTs or of the ground sensing CT] In this example the
CT’s are residually connected.
tst = 5 seconds [Motor starting time at 90% voltage, rounded down. This should be found on the
motor data sheets provided by the manufacturer.]
Autoset? = “ENTER” key not pressed, (so will not have automatically set values) [autoset of several
functions, See Section 15.3].
to/tm = 3 [This is the ratio of the cooling time of the motor. A setting of 3 is chosen to increase the
cooling time when the motor is standing idle compared to when it is serving load. A ratio
factor of 3 is a very common selected value for this ratio.]
Ta/n = 90 [Motor pre-alarm heating level, 90% of motor running load is a very common general alarm
level, if desired.]
Ts/n = 100 [Motor restart heating level, this allows us to start the motor if the motor was just
previously running at full load.]
StNo = 1 [Allows us to start the motor if the motor was just previously running at full load. This
information is found on the motor nameplates or on the motor data sheets.]
tStNo = 60 [Motor cooling period after failed restart attempt. This information is found on the motor
nameplates or on the motor data sheets.]
tBSt = 30 [This is the time period for which the number of attempted starts (StNo) is allowed. This
information is found on the motor nameplates or on the motor data sheets.]
ILR = 2.0 [This element will trip the motor if the fault current exceeds the motor’s locked rotor current
by this multiplie. The timer tLR is fixed at 1.0 second.]
I< = Dis. (Undercurrent, loss of load) [This motor is not critical for serving a specific level of load.]
I> = 2 [This is the high set phase overcurrent pick-up setting, which trips at two times the actual
locked rotor current Ist.]
tI> = 0.05 [This is the associated time delay for the I> function.]
O> = 0.1 [This is the pick up setting of the ground overcurrent element. A setting of 10% of In or 15
amps primary, 0.5 amps secondary, is a common setting.]
tO> = 0.05 [This is the associated time delay for the O> function.]
tBO = 0.15 [This gives 9 cycles as the breaker failure timer for this motor.].
15.2.3 STEP 3: DETERMINING THE MOTOR FULL LOAD CURRENT AND LOCKED ROTOR CURRENT
When this 600 HP motor is started on the customer’s 2.4kV system, the motor bus voltage drops from
2.4kV to 2.064kV which is approximately 86% of the system’s 2.4kV voltage and approximately 90%
of the motor’s rated voltage of 2.3kV. The actual starting voltage for each motor must be determined
from the customer’s system studies. The normal system voltage when this motor is running at full
23
MM30 MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY
load will be maintained at 2.4kV. Therefore, the motor’s operating parameters under these operating
conditions are:
Full load current = 128 amps × (2.3kV / 2.4kV ) =122.7 ≈ 123 amps, Im =123/150 = 0.82
Starting current (locked rotor current) = 844 amps × (0.9 ) =759.6 ≈ 760 amps, Ist
=(760/150)/0.82 ≈ 6.2
Im = 0.82 [This is the motor’s adjusted full load current. The motor’s rated full load current is found on
the motor nameplates or on the motor data sheets.]
Ist = 6.2 [This is the motor’s adjusted locked rotor current. The motor’s rated locked rotor current is
found on the motor nameplates or on the motor data sheets.].
15.2.4 STEP 4: SELECTING THE METHOD TO BE USED TO ESTABLISH THE SETTING FOR tm
There are three different methods that could be used to determining the setting value for tm:
• Calculation of the Thermal Image Setting tm (15.2.4.1)
• Graphical Determination of the Thermal Image Setting tm (15.2.4.2)
• Conversions of the Thermal Image Equation to an Approximate Equivalent Singular Point of a
Phase Time Overcurrent Characteristic (15.2.4.3).
The following three subsections show different methods which could be selected by the user to
determine his preference for the value of tm. There are two different suggested setting points that
could be used in this third method of determining the value of tm. Subsections 15.2.4.1 and 15.2.4.2
will give the user approximately equal settings as those determined by the relay if the AUTOSET?
function were used. Subsection 15.2.4.1 details the solving of the thermal image formula to
determine a value for tm, which has a 20% time margin above the expected starting time of the
motor. Subsection 15.2.4.2 demonstrates how to interpret the thermal image curves to select a
setting for tm, which also has a 20% time margin above the expected starting time of the motor.
Subsection 15.2.4.3 details two ways to solve the thermal image formula to derive an exact setting for
the value of tm which allows the customer to decide the amount of time margin to be above the
expected starting time of the motor. These two calculations can only be done for a singular point
consideration and only if there is no applicable level of negative sequence current.
15.2.4.1 METHOD #1: CALCULATION OF THE T HERMAL IMAGE SETTING tm
The Thermal Image replication curve used to protect the motor can be set using the formula for the
Thermal Image Curves shown on Page 20. The Thermal Image Curve is defined by the formula:
(I / Im )2 − (Ip / Im )2
t = (tm )× ln 2
(I / Im ) − (Ib / Im )
2
I= (I 2
d )
+ 3I s2 .
24
S150-45-1
If there is no negative sequence current, then I is equal to the positive sequence current which is
either the motor load current or starting current. This is because Is = 0.0 and therefore,
I= (I 2
d + 3(0 )
2
)= I d2 = I d .
Now, the motor has been running at full load before being tripped off line. When this 600 HP motor is
then subsequently started on the customer’s 2.4kV system, the motor bus voltage drops from 2.4kV to
2.064kV which is approximately 86% of the system’s 2.4kV voltage and approximately 90% of the
motor’s rated voltage of 2.3kV. The normal system voltage when the motor is running at full load will
be maintained at 2.4kV. Therefore, the motor’s operating parameters under these operating
conditions are:
Full load current = 128 amps × (2.3kV / 2.4kV ) =122.7 ≈ 123 amps
Starting current (locked rotor current) = 844 amps × (0.9 ) =759.6 ≈ 760 amps
Motor starting time at 86% of system 2.4kV voltage (90% of motor rated voltage) = 5.2 seconds.
Therefore, substituting these adjusted motor operating values into the Thermal Image Formula based
upon these system operating conditions yields:
(760 / 123)2 − (123 / 123)2
= (tm )× ln
5.2
which simplifies to:
(760 / 123) − (1.05)
2 2
60
0.087 minutes = tm × (0.00276 ) and thus:
tm = 0.087/0.00276 = 31.52 minutes.
Now a safety factor of 20% applied to the answer, yields a setting of tm = 1.2 × 31.5 ≈ 37.8 or
approximately 38 minutes.
The per unit values of currents ( I = 760/150 ≈ 5.07, Im = Ip ≈ 123/150 = 0.82) could have been
substituted into the Thermal Image Formula which would have yielded the same result:
(5.07 / 0.82 )2 − (0.82 / 0.82 )2
= (tm )× ln
5.2
which simplifies to:
60 (5 . 07 / 0 . 82 )2
− (1 . 05 )2
0.087 minutes = tm × (0.00276 ) and thus:
tm = 0.087/0.00276 = 31.52 minutes.
Now a safety factor of 20% applied to the answer, yields a setting of tm = 1.2 × 31.5 ≈ 37.8 or
approximately 38 minutes.
tm = 38 minutes [Motor thermal time constant].
15.2.4.2 METHOD #2: GRAPHICAL DETERMINATION OF THE T HERMAL IMAGE SETTING tm
The value determined for tm from this graphical method should be very similar to the value of tm that
was just derived from the Thermal Image Formula. If the user wishes to use the Thermal Image
Curves found on Page 20 rather than the formula for the Thermal Image Curves, the following would
be the procedure to derive a setting for tm.
Step A: Referring to the Thermal Image Curves found on Page 20, we are trying to define the
thermal image curve setting to protect the motor if it is started immediately after running at a rated full
load condition. Since the motor was operating at rated full load, the motor is assumed to be at the
rated operating temperature. Therefore, Tp (prior motor operating temperature, proportional to the
2
percent of prior motor full load current-squared, Tp= Ip ) is equal to Tn (motor rated operating
2
temperature, proportional to the percent of motor full load current-squared, Tp= Im ) and Tp/Tn is
equal to 100%. So the 100% Tp/Tn curve should be used.
Step B: When the motor is restarted with no negative sequence current, the current value I will be
equal to the motor’s locked rotor current for a bus voltage that is 90% of the motor’s rated voltage.
Therefore in this example, the motor’s locked rotor current is 90% of the nameplate locked rotor
25
MM30 MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY
current of 844 amps. Thus, I (actual overcurrent value) is equal to 0.9 × 844 ≈ 760 amps. Along
the X-axis of the graph on Page 20, the value of I / Im in this case is 760/123 ≈ 6.18.
Step C: Now the intersection of the Tp/Tn 100% curve with a value of 6.18 for I / Im on the Y-axis
gives an approximate value for t (starting time at 90% rated motor voltage) equal to slightly less than
0.03 × tm or approximately 0.0028 × tm.
Step D: We know from the manufacturer’s performance motor starting curves that this 600 HP motor
will start in 5.2 seconds at 90% rated motor voltage. Now t = 0.0028 × tm, with t at 90% rated voltage
5.2 / 60 0.087
equal to 5.2 seconds. Therefore, tm = ≈ ≈ 31.1.
0.0028 0.0028
Step E: Now a safety factor of 20% applied to the answer, yields a setting of tm = 1.2 × 31.1 ≈ 37.3
or 37 minutes.
Therefore, if the user desires an exacting value for tm, then the Thermal Image Formula will give a
very exacting answer. The quicker method of determining the value of tm from the Thermal Image
Curve yields just about the equivalent value for tm.
15.2.4.3 METHOD #3: CONVERSIONS OF THE T HERMAL IMAGE EQUATION TO AN APPROXIMATE EQUIVALENT
SINGULAR POINT OF A PHASE T IME OVERCURRENT CHARACTERISTIC
Under certain conditions, it is possible to approximate one point on an equivalent phase time
overcurrent characteristic with the thermal image function. When we are attempting to restart the
motor, given the fact that the motor has just been running at full load, then one point on the thermal
image curve can be converted to an equivalent single point of a phase time-overcurrent
characteristic. This specific current and corresponding time delay represents probably the most
adverse starting condition. The thermal image curve can now be set to fall between the motor’s
starting time and the motor’s safe stall hot time at the corresponding available motor terminal voltage
present during starting conditions.
We recall that the current ( I ) which is used in the computation of the thermal status is not just the
RMS value of the motor current but is a conventional composition of its positive ( I d ) and negative
sequence ( I s ) current components and that the current ( I ) is defined by the equation:
I= (I 2
d )
+ 3I s2 .
Now the terms in the thermal image formula can be simplified if the formula is applied for a hot motor
restarting attempt. If we can assume that there is no negative sequence current flowing of any
applicable degree, then the motor current I is equal to the motor’s starting current that corresponds
with 90% motor rated voltage. The current Ip is equal to the motor’s full load current of 123 amps
(as shown on Page 24).
15.2.4.3.1 T IME MARGIN SETTINGS FOR tm THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN A 20% TIME SAFETY FACTOR
We recall that the thermal image formula is defined as:
(I / Im )2 − (Ip / Im )2
t = (tm )× ln 2
, it simplifies to:
( I / Im )2
− ( Ib / Im )
(760 / 123)2 − (123 / 123)2
t = (38)× ln , which yields:
(760 / 123) − (1.05)
2 2
The system studies (which most be performed by the customer) have determined that the voltage on
the motor bus will be 4.064kV, which is 86% of the system’s 2.4kV voltage and 90% of the motor’s
2.3kV voltage rating. From the motor data sheets, the starting time of this 600 HP motor with 90%
motor rated voltage is 5.2 seconds. Now 760 amps for 6.3 seconds falls between 760 amps for 5.2
seconds (starting time at 90% motor voltage) and 760 amps for 11 seconds (motor safe stall time hot
at 90% motor voltage). If additional starting time at any particular point is desired by the customer,
then the desired motor starting time at 90% motor rated voltage (in this example) can be determined
by substituting into the thermal image formula the value of t that is desired and subsequently solving
for the value of tm .
15.2.4.3.2 SETTING tm TO BE HALFWAY BETWEEN THE MOTOR’S STARTING T IME AND THE MOTOR’S SAFE STALL HOT
T IME
Alternately, it is also a very common practice to set the phase time overcurrent function in such a
manner that the timing point of this element splits the time differential between the motor’s starting
time and the motor’s safe stall hot time.

setting at 8.1 seconds for a hot motor starting condition, merely substitute the same adjusted motor
operating rated values into the thermal image formula. As was first shown on Page 24 in Subsection
15.2.4.1, the thermal image formula is defined by the formula:
(I / Im )2 − (Ip / Im )2
t = (tm )× ln 2
(I / Im ) − (Ib / Im )
2
Starting current (locked rotor current) = 844 amps × (0.9 ) =759.6 ≈ 760 amps
Motor starting time at 86% of system 2.4kV voltage (90% of motor rated voltage) = 5.2 seconds.
However, in this calculation, we would like to set the thermal image curve to produce a trip indication
by its thermal image curve at 8.1 seconds for 760 amps of current. Substituting these adjusted motor
operating values into the Thermal Image Formula yields:
(760 / 123)2 − (122.7 / 123)2
= (tm )× ln
8.1
.
(760 / 123) − (1.05)

Now solving for tm yields:

and therefore, tm should be set for 49. With tm = 49, this time value of 8.1 seconds indicates that
the thermal image characteristic will produce a relay trip signal when 760 amps of motor starting
current have existed for 8.1 seconds.
15.2.5 STEP 5: DETERMINING THE NEGATIVE SEQUENCE ELEMENT SETTINGS (IS>, tIS>)
The graph on Page 21 shows the setting range for the Negative Sequence Current Time Overcurrent
Element Is>. As is shown by the time overcurrent characteristic of the Is> element , the pick-up
setting of the Is> element is the negative sequence current in percent of motor full load current for
which the Negative Sequence Overcurrent Element will first begin to operate. The pick-up range of
Is> is from 0.1 to 0.8, which is again the per unit amount of the motor's full load current Im. The time
delay setting tIs> of the Is> element is defined as the time delay that the Is> element will operate at
when the negative sequence current Is> is equal to the full load motor current Im. The time delay
setting range of the tIs> element is defined to be from 1 to 8 seconds when Is> = Im. Changing the
tIs> setting effectively shifts the response curve up or down. This then defines the negative
sequence overcurrent characteristic shape given by the Is> and tIs> elements. Therefore, if Im =
0.82 (0.82 x In), Is> is set equal to 0.1 (0.1 x Im) and tIs> is set equal to 1 second, and if the motor
experiences negative sequence current values of 1.1 x In, (110% of full load current), then the relay
will give a trip indication at 0.9 seconds with negative sequence current equal to 110% of In current.
Or in this example, (with In = 150, Im = 0.82 x 150 = 123 amps, Is> = 1.1 x 122.7 amps or
approximately 135 amps and tIs> = 1 second), when 135 amps of negative sequence current is
28
S150-45-1
detected for at least 0.9 seconds duration then a negative sequence trip output signal will be
produced by the MM30 relay.
The same can be accomplished by substituting these same values into the formula on Page 21 for
the Inverse Time Unbalance Protection Element.
0.9 0.9
t= × 1 .0 = 1.0 ×1.0 , results in:
135 / 123 − 0.1
t = 0.9 seconds.
The following would be the additional element function settings that have been derived for the MM30
relay for this example:
Is> = 0.1 (typically set between 10-20% of motor full load current)
tIs> = 1.
15.2.6 STEP 6: REDUCED VOLTAGE START CONSIDERATIONS
If the user will be utilizing one of the three common methods of reduced voltage motor starting,
through the use of either an autotransformer, an inductor or a resistor, then the settings for the
elements ITr and tTr would be defined according to the user’s choice of reduced voltage starting, the
voltage reduction amount and starting switch-over time. These values must be defined by the user,
according to the reduced voltage starting time of the motor and the customer’s pre-defined philosophy
of switching this motor over to the normal operating system configuration that will be used to serve
the motor during its normal running condition (serving load).
ITr = Dis. (Disabled)
tTr = 6 (default value, ITr is disabled so this does not matter).

17. TEST
Besides the normal "WATCHDOG" and "POWERFAIL" functions, a comprehensive program of
self-test and self-diagnostic provides:
Diagnostic and functional test: This checks the program routines and the memory content.
This runs every time the auxiliary power is switched-on. The display shows the relay type and
its version Number.
Dynamic functional test: This runs during the normal operation of the relay every 15 minutes.
The relay is disabled for less than 10 ms. If an internal fault is detected, the display shows a
fault message, the LED "PROG/IRF" illuminates and the relay R5 is de-energized.
32
S150-45-1
Complete test: This may be activated by the keyboard or via the communication bus either
with or without tripping of the output relays. The output relay assigned to reclosing is not
energized during this test.
! CAUTION
Running the LED+TRIP test will operate all of the
output relays. Care must be taken to ensure that
no unexpected or harmful equipment operations
will occur as a result of running this test. It is
generally recommended that this test be run only
when all dangerous output connections are
removed.
