Abstract

A motor protection device is provided that monitors motor currents and motor temperatures and provides protective functions whose characteristics are based on field settable data and motor operating conditions. The protective functions provided are overtemperature, overload, instantaneous overcurrent, ground fault, phase unbalance, and phase reversal. Field settable data is entered by means of a keyboard and consists of motor trip points for the protective functions, and motor and system parameters.
