CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION FIGURE 2–5: Core Balance Ground CT Installation (shielded cable) OUTPUT RELAYS There are 4 output relays each with form C contacts (normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common (COM)). Contact ratings for each relay are identical and are listed in Section 1.2: Specifications.
Page 31
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION considerations are more important than protection, program non-failsafe and wire the contactor to the NC/COM trip relay terminals. When control power to the 239 is lost, no protection is available and the motor will continue to run. This has the advantage that the process will not shut down, however the motor may be damaged if a fault develops under these conditions.
Page 32
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION programmed to be failsafe so that in the normal condition, with control power applied, the relay is energized and the NO/COM terminals shown in FIGURE 2–3: Typical Wiring Diagram on page 2–20 are closed. Connect these relay contacts to a suitable signaling input of a DCS system.
Page 33
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 39 and 44. Momentarily shorting these terminals together will cause the thermal memory of the 239 to discharge to 0% used. The emergency restart terminals can be used to override a trip lockout caused by a running overload or locked rotor start. This option should be used only when an immediate restart after a lock-out trip is required for process continuity.
Page 34
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION programmed correctly so that each RTD input matches the installed type. The factory default is 100 Ω platinum. RTDs are placed in the stator slots and/or motor bearings to provide the required sensing signals to the 239 relay. Up to 3 resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) may be used for motor stator and bearing temperature monitoring.

CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING • PHASE S/C DELAY: The trip can be instantaneous (no intentional delay) or can be delayed by up to 60000 ms to prevent nuisance tripping or allow co-ordination with associated system switchgear. The S4: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\PHASE S/ setpoint represents the intentional delay added to the C\PHASE S\C DELAY detection and output relay activation delays of the 239.

If this setpoint is set to , the mechanical jam UNLIMITED function will never operate during a start.
CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING 4.5.6 Unbalance • UNBALANCE TRIP: Unbalanced three phase supply voltages are a major cause of induction motor thermal damage. Unbalance can be caused by a variety of factors and is common in industrial environments. Causes can include increased resistance in one phase due to a pitted or faulty contactor, loose connections, unequal tap settings in a transformer or non-uniformly distributed three phase loads.

CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING On the occurrence of a ground fault caused by insulation breakdown, a motor will usually have to be taken out of service and rewound. However an unprotected motor could suffer mechanical damage to the stator slots making repair impossible. The fault could also cause the power supply bus to which the faulty motor is connected to trip in order to clear the fault resulting in unnecessary process shutdowns.

Digital Energy 239 Motor Protection Relay Motor Protection Relay CAUSE OF LAST TRIP: MECHANICAL JAM Chapter 7: Testing TRIP AUXILIARY PICKUP ALARM SERVICE COMMUNICATE AC UAL VALU Testing Testing 7.1.1 Primary Injection Testing Prior to relay commissioning at installation, complete system operation can be verified by injecting current through the phase and ground CTs.
CHAPTER 7: TESTING Secondary Injection Testing Setup the secondary injection test as shown in the figure below to perform the tests described in the following sections. Tests should be performed to verify the correct operation and wiring. All functions are firmware driven and this testing will verify correct firmware/hardware interaction.
CHAPTER 7: TESTING Phase Current Accuracy Any phase current protection is based on the ability of the 239 to read phase input currents accurately to ±2% of full scale. Perform the steps below to test the phase current accuracy. Alter the following setpoint. S2: SYSTEM SETUP\CT INPUTS\PHASE CT PRIMARY: 100A To determine if the relay is reading the proper input current values, inject phase currents shown in the table below, view the readings in...
CHAPTER 7: TESTING Phase Current Overload Alter the following setpoints: S4: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\OVERLOAD\OVERLOAD CURVE NUM- BER: 4 S2: SYSTEM SETUP\CT INPUTS\PHASE CT PRIMARY: 100A S2: SYSTEM SETUP\MOTOR DATA\MOTOR FULL LOAD CURRENT: 50A S5: TESTING\TEST CONFIGURATION\DISABLE START PROTECTION: YES Before beginning this test it is necessary to ensure that the thermal capacity value in is 0% to obtain a proper trip time.
CHAPTER 7: TESTING Phase Unbalance Alarm Alter the following setpoints: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\UNBALANCE\PHASE UNBALANCE ALARM: S4: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\UNBALANCE\PHASE UNBALANCE TRIP: S4: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\UNBALANCE\PHASE UNBALANCE ALARM PICKUP: S4: PROTECTION\PHASE CURRENT\UNBALANCE\PHASE UNBALANCE DELAY: 0 SEC Inject three-phase current at the FLA level into all three phases. While viewing , slowly decrease the current METERING\CURRENT\CURRENT UNBALANCE U/B in one of the phases until the UNBALANCE ALARM message comes on.

CHAPTER 7: TESTING Thermistor Alarm Alter the following setpoints: S4: PROTECTION\TEMPERATURE\THERMISTOR\THERMISTOR FUNCTION: ALARM S4: PROTECTION\TEMPERATURE\THERMISTOR\THERMISTOR HOT RESISTANCE: 20KW S4: PROTECTION\TEMPERATURE\THERMISTOR\THERMISTOR COLD RESISTANCE: 0.1KW As shown in FIGURE 7–1: SECONDARY INJECTION TEST SETUP on page 7–98, place a variable 30 kΩ resistor across thermistor terminals 21/22. With the variable resistor initially set to zero start increasing the resistance until a thermistor alarm occurs.
CHAPTER 7: TESTING 7.11 Power Failure / Non-volatile Memory Slowly decrease the AC voltage applied to a 239 relay until the UNDERVOLTAGE message appears on the 239 display. At this instant all output relays will go to their de-energized state and the SERVICE LED turns on. This phenomenon should occur after the voltage has decreased below 70 V.
CHAPTER 7: TESTING 7.12 Routine Maintenance Verification Once a relay has been properly installed, periodic tests can be performed to check correct operation of the protection system. Many conditions can be simulated without creating the actual trip/alarm conditions themselves. This is done by changing relay setpoints to values which will initiate trips and alarms during normal motor operation.
