3. Protection functions

The relay offers all the functionality needed to man-
age motor start-ups and normal operation, also in-
cluding protection and fault clearance in abnormal
situations. The main features of the relay include
thermal overload protection, motor start-up super-
vision, locked rotor protection and protection
against too frequent motor start-ups. The relay
also incorporates nondirectional ground-fault pro-
tection, negative phase-sequence current unbal-
ance protection and backup overcurrent protec-
tion. Furthermore, the relay offers motor running
stall protection, loss-of-load supervision and phase
reversal protection.
Standard configurations B and D additionally offer
directional ground-fault protection, three-phase
undervoltage protection, negative-sequence over-
voltage and positive-sequence undervoltage pro-
tection. Further, the B and D configurations offer
frequency protection including overfrequency, un-
derfrequency and rate-of-change frequency pro-
tection modes.
The RTD/mA module offered as an option for stan-
dard configurations A and B enables the use of the
optional multipurpose protection function for trip-
ping and alarm
purposes using RTD/mA measuring data or analog
values via GOOSE messages.
In certain motor drives of special importance there
must be a possibility to override the motor thermal
overload protection to perform an emergency start
of a hot motor. To enable an emergency hot start,
REM615 offers a forced start execution feature.
Enhanced with optional hardware and software,
the relay also features three light detection chan-
nels for arc fault protection of the circuit breaker,
busbar and cable compartment of metal-enclosed
indoor switchgear.
The arc-fault protection sensor interface is avail-
able on the optional communication module. Fast
tripping increases staff safety and security and
limits material damage in an arc fault situation. A
binary input and output module can be selected as
an option - having three high speed binary outputs
(HSO) it further decreases the total operate time
with typically 4...6 ms compared to the normal
power outputs.

4. Application

REM615 constitutes main protection for asynchro-
nous motors and the associated drives. Typically,
the motor relay is used with circuit breaker or con-
tactor controlled HV motors, and contactor con-
trolled medium sized and large LV motors in a vari-
ety of drives, such as pumps and conveyors,
crushers and choppers, mixers and agitators, fans
and aerators.
The motor relay is thoroughly adapted for ground-
fault protection. Using cable current transformers
sensitive and reliable ground-fault protection can
be achieved. Phase current transformers in
Holmgreen (summation) connection can also be
used for ground-fault protection. In that case pos-
sible unwanted operations of the ground-fault pro-
tection at motor start-up due to CT saturation can
be prevented using the relay's internal interlocking
features or a suitable stabilizing resistor in the
common neutral return.
The optional RTD/mA module offered for standard
configurations A and B facilitates the measurement
of up to eight analog signals via the six RTD inputs
or the two mA inputs using transducers. The RTD
and mA inputs can be used for temperature moni-
toring of motor bearings and stator windings, thus
expanding the functionality of the thermal overload
protection and preventing premature aging of the
motor. Furthermore, the RTD/mA inputs can be
used for measuring the ambient cooling air tem-
perature. The analog temperature values can, if re-
