TYPICAL FACTORS THAT ARE SPECIFIED ON A MOTOR NAMEPLATE NEC Article 430-7 states a motor nameplate must be marked with the following information: •
volts, full-load amperes, service factor, horsepower
•
temperature factors, time (duty), locked-rotor codes
•
maker’s name, frequency, number of phases, speed
Figure 1 is an example nameplate that contains the NEC minimum required nameplate information; 16-SAMSS-503 also requires the nameplate to contain additional information 2 pertaining to insulation class, winding temperature rise, type of bearings, rotor Wk , types of enclosure, etcetera.

Rated Volts The voltage marked on the motor nameplate is the rated motor terminal voltage per NEMA MG-1. The nominal three-phase system voltage that matches the rated three-phase voltage is listed in Figure 2.
Figur e 2. AC Motor Voltages Full-Load Amperes The full-load amperes marked on the motor nameplate are based on the rated voltage, horsepower, and frequency. Overload protection, as specified by NEC Art 430-32, is based on the marked full-load amperes.

Electrical Motor Protection Requirements
Service Factor (S.F.) When the voltage and frequency are maintained as per the nameplate markings, the motor may be overloaded up to the hp obtained by multiplying the rated hp by the service factor shown on the nameplate. When the motor is operated at the higher service factor, efficiency, power factor, and speed may be different than at rated load, but locked rotor torque and current, and breakdown torque remain unchanged. For example, a 100 hp, 1.15 S.F. motor may be safely loaded to 115 hp. Horsepower Horsepower is the rated output mechanical power that may be applied to the motor shaft. IEC motors are rated on output kW vice output hp, where 1hp equals 0.746 kW. For example, a NEMA MG-1 rated 1000 hp motor is equivalent to a nominal 750 kW (746 kW actual) IEC rated motor.

Tempera tur e Factors The temperature rise or the insulation class and ambient temperature must be marked on the motor (See Figure 3). Note: Saudi Aramco motor specifications (17-SAMSS-502 and 503) require Class F insulation. However, for fractional horsepower motors, SAES-P-113 permits a minimum Class B insulation .
Figure 3. NEMA Tempera tur e Ratings
Tempera tur e Rise The temperature rise shown in the above Figure is based on motor operation at altitudes of o 1000 meters (3300 ft) or less, ambient temperatures of 40 C, and rated horsepower for 1.0 S.F. motors or 1.15 times rated horsepower for 1.15 S.F. motors. Insulation Class and Ambient Temperat ur e o
The insulation class as shown above (Figure 3) is based on a 40 C ambient, but if the motor is operated at higher ambients, the motor temperature rise must be calculated in accordance with NEMA MG 1-12.43.

Time (Duty) The time ratings for motors, per NEMA MG1-10.36 are 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes, and continuous. Note: Saudi Aramco specifications call for continuous duty motors only . Locked-Rotor Codes Both NEMA MG 1-10.37 and the NEC require the locked-rotor indicating code letters to be marked on the motor nameplate. The letter designations are based on full voltage and rated frequency (See Figure 4).

Miscellaneous Information Maker’s Name The NEC requires the motor manufacturer’s name to be marked on the nameplate. Most manufacturers also include additional markings such as serial numbers, model numbers, bearing numbers, etcetera. Fr equency and Num ber of Phases The motor frequency (50 or 60 hertz) as well as the number of phases (1 or 3) are required markings on the motor nameplate. Virtually all other ratings are based on loadings at rated frequency. All AC motors are required by NEMA MG1-12.44 to operate successfully under running conditions at rated load and voltage and at plus or minus 5 percent frequency. Speed NEMA MG1-10 lists the synchronous speed of motors (N rpm = 120f/p), whereas the nameplate speed for induction rotors includes slip (rotor speed).

ANSI/IEEE DEVICES AND FUNCTION NUMBERS THAT RELATE TO AC INDUCTION MOTOR PRO TECTION Purpose The devices in switching equipment are referred to by numbers, with appropriate suffix letters when necessary, according to the functions they perform. Exercise caution when interpreting the letter suffix: There are often dual meanings. For example, the suffix G can mean ground (50G) or generator (87G). The numbers are based on a system, and adopted as standard for automatic switchgear by ANSI/IEEE Std.C37.2. The system is used in connection diagrams, one-line diagrams, instruction books, and in specifications. Figure 5 is a one-line diagram showing application of standard ANSI/IEEE device numbers. Standa r d Device Function Numb ers Device 2RS A time-delay starting, or closing relay is a device that functions to give a desired amount of time delay before or after any point of operation in a switching sequence or protective relay system, except as specifically provided by device functions 48, 62, and 79. Saudi Aramco uses this device to block repetitive starting (RS) of large motors rated at 3750 kW(5000 hp) or larger. Device 27 An undervoltage relay is a device that functions on a given value of undervoltage. Saudi Aramco uses this device to detect undervoltage on a motor bus or individual motors.

Device 46 A reverse-phase, or phase-balance current relay is a relay that functions when the polyphase currents are of reverse-phase sequence, when they are unbalanced, or when they contain negative phase-sequence components above a given amount. This relay is primarily used to protect motors against single-phasing (primary or secondary opens). Device 47 A phase-sequence voltage relay is a relay that functions on a predetermined value of polyphase voltage in the desired phase sequence. This relay, in conjunction with a Device 27 relay, is used to detect undervoltage, reverse phasing, and single- phasing of a motor. Device 49 A machine, or transformer thermal relay, is a relay that functions when the temperature of a particular element exceeds a predetermined value. These elements consist of a machine armature, or other load-carrying winding or element of a machine, or a power rectifier or power transformer (including a power rectifier transformer). Thermal relays are used to overload protect all Saudi Aramco motors; however larger motors require more sophisticated (capable) Device 49 relays. For example, a small 7.5 kW (10 hp) motor may be protected by a simple solder-pot overload device, whereas a large 3750 kW (5000 hp) motor would require use of a much more sophisticated ABB type BL-1 thermal overload relay.

Devices 50/50G/50GS An instantaneous overcurrent, or rate-of-rise relay, is a relay that functions instantaneously on an excessive value of current or on an excessive rate of current rise, thus indicating a fault in the apparatus of the circuit being protected. Saudi Aramco uses this device for both phase and fault protection of motors. The suffix G is the abbreviation for ground and GS is the abbreviation for ground sensor. Module EEX216.04 will describe the different applications of Device 50. Device 51LR An AC time overcurrent relay is a relay with either a definite or inverse time characteristic that functions when the current in an AC circuit exceeds a predetermined value. Saudi Aramco uses this device to provide thermal locked-rotor (LR) protection for medium voltage motors. Device 86M A locking-out relay is an electrically-operated hand or electrically reset, relay that functions to shut down and hold a piece of equipment out of service on the occurrence of abnormal conditions. Saudi Aramco uses this device to lock out large motors (M) after occurrence of a fault. This device is activated by Device 87 . Note: Device 86 requires manual reset . Device 87M A differential protective relay is a protective relay that functions on a percentage, phase angle, or other quantitative difference of two currents or other electrical quantities. Saudi Aramco uses this device for fault protection of motors (M) rated greater than 4 kV.

T/C CHARACTERISTIC C URVES OF AC INDUCTIO N MOTORS Thermal Capability Curve Heating characteristics of motors are very difficult to obtain and vary considerably with motor size and design. These heating characteristics are modeled as curves, and are an approximate average of an imprecise thermal zone, where varying degrees of damage or shortened insulation life may occur. Figure 6 shows a typical motor capability curve, which is the motor designer’s estimate of the amount of load current that may flow in the motor without exceeding permissible temperatures. Stall Time Vs Locked Rotor C ur r ent Cold Star t - The locked-rotor time (t LR) shown in Figure 6 depicts the time (capability) of the motor (current versus time), which is based on starting the motor cold (the motor windings, rotor, etcetera are at ambient temperature). Hot Star t - If the motor’s duty cycle permits hot starts - the motor windings, etcetera are at an elevated temperature, the manufacturer must be consulted to determine a permissible starting time (ts) to prevent motor damage.

Motor Starting Curve Locked-Rotor Cur r ent The starting current is represented by the curve (solid line) as previously described in Figure 6 and the current (labeled LRA a and LRAs) shown in Figure 7. Asymmetrical (DC Transient) - The asymmetrical starting current (LRA a) exceeds the symmetrical locked rotor current (LRA s) during the first few cycles because of the transient direct current. This transient current appears, as it does under fault conditions, because the series reactance (inductance) prevents an instantaneous change in the magnitude of the alternating current. The magnitude of the asymmetrical starting current is approximately 1.5 LRAs for low voltage motors and 1.6 LRA s for medium voltage motors. Symmetrical - After the transient current decays, the starting current hovers near the symmetrical starting current (LRA s). The magnitude of this starting current is typically 4 to 6 times the motor’s full-load amperes (FLA). The exact amount is based on the subtransient reactance (X” d) of the motor, which ranges from 16.7 to 25 percent. Star ting Time The starting time (t s) of the motor is the approximate time it takes the motor to approach rated running speed. For purposes of this course, it is assumed that the starting time (t s) is less than the locked-rotor (stall) time (t LR). Full-Load Cur r ent After the motor reaches rated speed, it acquires its normal rated value (full-load amperes), assuming rated load, voltage and frequency.

THER MAL PROT ECTIO N FUNDAMENTALS OF AC INDUCTION MO TORS Ther mal Overload Pr otection Overload (O/L) protection is always applied to motors to protect them from overheating. NEC Article 430-38 requires an O/L device in each phase except “where protected by other means.” This requirement (one-per-phase) is necessary because single phasing of the primary in a delta-wye configuration results in a 2:1:1 three-phase motor current relationship. This protection is provided by replica-type relays for small kW-rated motors and by resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) for larger motors. Replica-Type Relays Replica-type relays operate directly from motor circuit current. They receive their name “replica” because they tend to “replicate” the heating characteristics of the motor. For very small motors, this type of relay is simply a bimetallic element that operates within a heater unit. For large kW-rated motors, they are truly a type of overcurrent relay. For instance, Saudi Aramco specifies an ABB-type BL-1 O/L relay for motors rated 4 kV and larger and less than 7500 kW. Figure 8 is a T/C characteristic curve of a BL-1 relay.

This relay is a temperature-compensated relay, which means it has different T/C curves depending on the motors’s temperature. For instance, if the motor is at room ambient (just turned on) when the O/L occurs, the relay responds to the 0 percent curve. If the motor has been running continuously, the relay would respond to the 100 percent curve. Because replica-type relays only respond to current, they will not typically protect for blocked ventilation.

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) RTD-type relays operate from exploring coils embedded by the manufacturer directly in the motor windings. They are commonly used in industrial applications in motors rated above 1125 kW (1500 hp). Note: Saudi Aramco (17-SAMSS-502) requires RTD applications in motors rated above 150 kW (200 hp). RTDs respond to temperature alone, and they will protect against blocked ventilation. Figure 9 is an ABB DT-3 type relay used to detect overtemperature (overloads) with RTDs in a large motor.

Protection Versus Stall Time Thermal-type relays offer very good protection for light overloads as shown in Figure 10, but provide inadequate protection (shaded area) for heavy overloads or during starting.
Figur e 10. O/L Relay Protection Thermal Locked-Rotor Protection Thermal locked-rotor (L/R) protection, similar to O/L protection, involves the matching of a relay to the motor’s thermal capability curve, and at the same time remembering that the capability curve is at best an approximation. A motor with a locked-rotor condition is particularly vulnerable to damage because of the 2 large amount of heat generated (I R). Also, remember that a motor at standstill cannot dissipate the heat as well as a rotating motor.

The type of L/R protection depends on comparison of the starting time (t s) of the motor to its permissible locked-rotor time (tLR). If the starting time (ts) is less than or equal to 20 seconds, and less than L/R time (tLR), it is best to use an extremely inverse relay similar to types ABB CO-11 or GE IFC 77 (see Figure 11).

If ts is greater than t LR (see Figure 13), a mechanical zero-speed switch may be used.

Combined Pr otection The best (recommended) thermal protection for large motors is to combine both O/L and L/R protection as shown in Figure 15.
Figur e 15.

Over pr otection - Device 51 To complement Device 49 thermal protection, one locked-rotor device (i.e. CO relay) is applied to phase B, which overprotects for light overloads, but adequately protects for heavy (i.e. locked-rotor conditions).

FUNDAMENTALS OF FAULT PRO TECT ION FOR LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE AC INDUCTION MOTO RS Introduction As with thermal protection, the size of the motor and the type of service will influence the type of fault protection required to protect the motor. Although NEC Article 430-52 and Table 430-152 dictate phase and ground fault protection for low voltage motor circuits, the type of protective device is a designer’s choice. There are five types, each having different benefits depending on the size of the motor, cost of protection, etcetera. The five types used for low voltage motor protection are: •
non-time delay fuse (non-current limiting).
•
time delay fuses (current limiting).
•
inverse time circuit breaker.
•
magnetic only circuit breaker.
•
motor circuit protector (MCP).
Medium voltage motors, typically large and expensive, are fault protected by NEMA Type R current limiting fuses or differential relays. Ground fault protection can be provided by a residual scheme, but zero sequence protection is the preferred scheme. Phase Faults Although the NEC permits current limiting fuses for low voltage motor phase fault protection, Saudi Aramco SAES-R-114 specifies magnetic-only molded case circuit breakers or MCPs for protection of motors rated below 75 kW (100 hp), and devices 50 or 87 for all other motors (low and medium voltage).

Cur r ent Limiting Fuses R-rated (NEMA Type R) current limiting fuses are used in NEMA Class E2 controllers to provide short circuit fault protection up to 350,000 kVA . Note: Class E2 controllers will be discussed in detail in EEX216.05 . Figure 16 lists the continuous current ratings of NEMA Type R fuses, while Figure 17 shows a typical T/C coordination scheme for protecting a medium voltage motor. Note: SAES-P-114 permits Class E2 controllers with current limiting fuses for motors rated 4.0 kV, 1125 kW (1500 hp) or smaller sized motors .

Medium Voltage Motors - Phase fault protection for medium voltage motors rated above 1125 kW (1500 hp) is provided by a power circuit breaker controlled by relays. •
Instantaneous trip units (device 50) are recommended where the ratio I 3φ /LRAs is greater than 5 and the kVA rating of the motor is less than 50 percent of the kVA rating of the transformer (see Figure 19).

Partial differential (Device 87M) is the preferred phase fault protection for large motors, and is recommended when I 3φ is approximately equal to LRA s, which varies from 4-6 times the full load, three-phase current. The advantage of this scheme is that it has excellent sensitivity, the starting currents cancel, and only three current transformers (CT) are required. The biggest problem with this protection scheme is a “physical limitation” based on the CT size (see Figure 20). Note: Saudi Aramco specifies differential protection (87M) only for medium voltage motors .

• Full differential (Device 87M) is recommended whenever I 3φ is approximately equal to LRA s, which varies from 4-6 times the full load threephase current, and a partial differential scheme does not work. The only advantage of a full differential scheme over the partial differential scheme is that it offers cable protection. Obvious disadvantages are that six CTs are required, and the scheme is often oversensitive (nuisance trips) to high starting currents because of unequal CT saturation. (See Figure 21). Note: Saudi Aramco specifies differential protection (87M) only for medium voltage motors .

Gr ound Faults SAES-P-114 requires ground fault protection for all motors rated 22.5 kW (30 hp) and larger. Residual protection is permitted only on induction motors rated above 7500 kW (10,000 hp), where high cable charging currents would cause false operation of zero sequence (50GS) protection. Residual Conn ection The residual connection is not very sensitive because it “sees” current through the “eyes” of the phase CTs. This connection often causes nuisance trips as well because of the unequal saturation of the three CTs (see Figure 22).

Zero Sequence Connection The zero sequence connection (Device 50GS) is the preferred ground fault protection scheme. Low voltage motors use a static trip (solid-state) device to trip the breaker, whereas a relay (ABB Type SC or GE Type PJC) trips the breaker via a lockout relay (Device 86M) for medium voltage motors. Note: Saudi Aramco typically specifies zero sequence CTs for ground fault protection . Low Voltage Motors - Figure 23 shows the zero sequence connection for protecting a low voltage motor. Figures 24 and 25 show alternate connection schemes with the zero sequence CT connection being the preferred Saudi Aramco connection.

Medium Voltage Motors - Figure 26 shows the ground fault protection scheme for medium voltage motors. The primary advantages of this type of system are increased sensitivity (no current flows under normal conditions), which eliminates false tripping during motor starting and the lowest CT cost (only one required). The primary disadvantage is CT saturation, especially when induction disc (Device 51) relays and/or solidly-grounded systems are used.

OTHE R TYPES OF MOTO R PROT ECTIO N FUNDAMENTALS FOR AC INDUCTION MOTORS Undervoltage Protection A low voltage condition will prevent motors from reaching their rated speed on starting, or cause them to lose speed and draw heavy overload current. While overload relays (Device 49) will eventually detect this condition, the motor should be quickly disconnected when severe low voltage conditions exist. Where continuous operation is essential, such as station auxiliary service or continuous manufacturing processes, an undervoltage relay is used for alarm purposes only. Pur pose and T herm al Effects The primary purpose of undervoltage relay protection (Device 27) in Saudi Aramco applications is as a backup device for locked rotor protection (Device 51). Device 51 is 2 applied to phase B, while Device 27 is applied to phases A and C. Because power (I R) is directly proportional to the current squared and any decrease in voltage (see Figure 28) results in an increase in current, Device 27 will eventually remove the motor if Device 51 fails, although some damage may occur as a result of the increased temperature (approximately 17 percent for just 10 percent low voltage).

Tim e-Delay R elays - Device 27 Time-delay voltage relays, similar to time delay overcurrent relays (Device 51), use induction disc relays for their time-undervoltage characteristics (see Figure 29). Coordination Device 27 relays must be coordinated with upstream fault relays to prevent tripping the motor for any upstream faults that cause voltage dips on the system. Additionally, caution must be exercised to ensure the relay does not trip due to voltage sags as a result of the motor, or adjacent large motors starting on the same bus.

Phase Unbalance Protection Pur pose and T herm al Effects The purpose of phase unbalance protection is to prevent motor overheating damage. Motor overheating occurs because increased phase currents flow in order that the motor can continue to deliver the same kW (hp) as it did with balanced voltages. Negative-sequence voltages also appear and cause abnormal currents to flow in the rotor. Because a motor’s negative sequence impedance (Z 2) approximates a motor’s locked rotor impedance, a small negative sequence voltage produces a much larger negative sequence current. Voltage Unb ala nce Relays - Device 47 SAES-P-114 recommends use of an ABB Type CVQ relay (see Figure 30) for voltage unbalance protection. This relay protects against system undervoltage (a Device 27 function), single-phasing of the supply, and reversal of phase rotation of the supply (100 percent negative sequence). No settings are required for the CVQ relay.

The motor begins “sucking” the fluid instead of pumping the fluid .

Phase A and B currents energize energize the upper electromagnets, while phase B and C currents energize the lower electromagnets. When phase currents are balanced, the electromagnets create equal and opposing torques on each of the discs (see Figure 31). •

Voltage Unb alance (Low Voltage M otors) Protection of low voltage motors using voltage unbalance relays is usually not cost effective. As previously discussed, increased heating occurs as a result of the voltage unbalance, and the only other practical means to reduce the thermal effects is to reduce the shaft kW (hp) loading in accordance with the following formula and Figure 37.

EXAMPL E A:
Given the following data, what is the maximum safe connected shaft kW (hp) to avoid thermal overheating of the motor? Motor Ratings: 150 kW (200 hp), 3-phase, 460V Voltages: V ab = 449V, V bc = 459V, V ca = 421V
ANS WE R
Vavg = (449 + 459 + 421)/3 = 1329/3 = 443V Maximum voltage deviation from average = 443 - 421 = 22V Percent NEMA unbalance = (22/443) X 100 = 4.97% Per Figure 37, the motor should be derated approximately 75% to 112.5 kW (150 hp) for a 5% voltage unbalance. Note: Derating the motor is not the preferred method to avoid overheating. The preferred method is to correct the causes of the voltage unbalance. For example, removing single-phase loads from the motor bus, balancing the single-phase loads on the bus, etcetera.
Miscellaneous P r otection High Speed Reclosing If a motor is reenergized before it has stopped rotating, high transient torques can develop (T 2 α V ), and possible damage (e.g. broken shafts) can occur. The most probable cause of reenergization is utility high speed reclosing (10-36 cycles) after a fault. The simplest protection schemes are a timing relay that allows the motor to coast to a stop before restarting, or delaying restart using an undervoltage permissive relay in the starting control circuit set at 25-33% of normal voltage. Repetitive Star ting - Device 2RS Restarting motors with insufficient cooling time, or operating with extreme load variations (jogging) can result in dangerously high motor temperatures. Timing circuit protection schemes based on manufacturer-recommended starting cycles (e.g., 2 hot/1 cold per hour), or temperature sensitive relays, such as the CT relay just previously discussed, are also used to protect the motor against repetitive starting. Use of this type of relay requires very careful analysis of the motor and its projected operating cycles.

Protection Scheme One-Line Diagrams SAES-P-114 (Chapter 6) very clearly lists the preferred protection scheme for the various types of induction motors used in Saudi Aramco industrial applications. Figures 38 through 43 are one-line diagrams developed to describe the SAES-P-114 motor protection requirements. Low Voltage Motor s Voltage motor protection is separated based on the following motor rating categories: •
0.75 kW (100 hp) or less
•
Greater than .75 kW to 75 kW (1.0 to 100 hp)
•
Greater than 75 kW (100 hp)
0.75 kW (1.0 hp) or Less - This category of low voltage motor is protected by thermal magnetic molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) with three-pole thermal magnetic trips (Figure 38a), or combination controllers with overloads, a contactor, and a magnetic-only MCCB or thermal-magnetic MCCB as shown in Figure 38b.

SOLID-STATE MO TOR PR OTEC TION PACKAGE (MPP) FEATURES General Description Solid-state motor protection packages (MPPs) are typically self-contained, door-mounted, motor protection devices. Saudi Aramco (SAES-P-114) permits use of MPPs for motors 4.0 kV or greater in any kW (hp) rating. Featur es and C apab ilities Solid-state MPPs (latest generation), such as the Multilin 269 Plus or Westinghouse IQ1000II, are the best or preferred method of protecting medium voltage motors in today’s industrial environment. These MPPs develop very accurate thermal models of the motor, and, therefore, the protection set points (for example, locked-rotor and thermal protection) can better match the thermal characteristics of the motor. In contrast, conventional relays are set to protect based on an estimate of the motor’s thermal capabilities. Algorithms, used in the 2 MPPs for the motor’s I t thermal characteristics, are calculated based on the motor’s actual load amps. Most MPPs also continuously calculate positive and negative sequence currents as well. The primary features of a typical MPP are: •
Protection
•
Communication
•
Diagnostics
Benefits The key benefit of an MPP is that these types of relays offer, for all practical purposes, unlimited motor protection. Another and often overlooked benefit is that they extend a motor’s life, because the protection set points are based on much more accurate thermal models of the motor. Note: Because all of the motor protection is in a single, self-contained package, a designer must consider backup electromechanical relays when fail-safe tripping is not allowable for an MPP failure.
