2.7 Motor Protection (Motor Starting Protection 48, Motor Restart
Inhibit 66, Load Jam Protection)
For the protection of motors, the 7SK80 can be provided with a motor starting protection feature, a restart inhibit
and a load jam protection function. The starting protection function protects the motor from prolonged startup
procedures thus supplementing the overload protection (see Section 2.9). The motor restart inhibit prevents
restarting of the motor when this restart may cause the permissible thermal limits of the rotor to be exceeded.
The load jam protection serves to protect the motor during sudden rotor blocking.
2.7.1

Motor Starting Protection 48

When the device 7SK80 is used to protect a motor, the starting protection feature supplements the overload
protection and protects the motor against prolonged starting operations (see Section 2.9).

2.7.1.1 Description

General
In particular, rotor-critical high-voltage motors can quickly be heated above their thermal limits when multiple
starting attempts occur in a short period of time. If the durations of these starting attempts are lengthened e.g.
by excessive voltage surges during motor starting, by excessive load moments, or by blocked rotor conditions,
a trip signal will be initiated by the protective relay.
Motor starting is detected when a settable current threshold I MOTOR START is exceeded. Calculation of the
tripping time is then initiated. It should be noted that this timer starts every time the motor is started. This is
therefore a normal operating condition that is neither indicated in the fault log nor causes the creation of a fault
record. Only when the locked rotor time has elapsed is the trip command issued.
The protection function consists of one definite time and one inverse time tripping element.
