Motor Starting Time Supervision (ANSI 48)
When the 7UM61 is used to protect a motor, the startup time monitoring feature sup-
plements overload protection (see Section 2.9) by protecting the motor against ex-
tended startup durations. In particular, rotor-critical high-voltage motors can quickly be
heated above their thermal limit if multiple consecutive startup attempts are made. If
the durations of these starting attempts are prolonged, e.g. by excessive voltage
surges during motor startup, by excessive load torques, or by blocked rotor conditions,
a tripping signal will be initiated by the protective relay.

As a criterion for a motor startup, transgression of a (settable) current threshold I
Motor Startup
MOTOR START is assessed and used for enabling calculation of the tripping time.
The protection function consists of one definite time and one inverse time tripping
characteristic.
Inverse Time Over-
The inverse time tripping delay time operates only when the rotor is not blocked. With
