MECH JAM OVERCURRENT PICKUP: This setting defines excessive current condition that identifies a mechanical
jam. As the element is not armed during start conditions, this threshold can be set below the starting current. Since the
element is armed during overload conditions, this setting should be higher than the maximum overload current. The
setting is entered in multiplies of FLA (defined in the
•
MECH JAM PICKUP DELAY: This setting specifies the pickup delay of the element. In the case of large motors that
could feed close-in feeder faults, this setting can coordinate with feeder protection to avoid false tripping due to exces-
sive fault currents fed by the motor.
•
MECH JAM RESET DELAY: This setting defines the reset delay of the element. Typical application includes time seal-
in of the tripping command.
