QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE SYSTEM DATA Ground CT: For high resistive grounded systems, sensitive ground detection is possible with the 50:0.025 CT. On solidly grounded or low resistive grounded systems where the fault current is much higher, a 1A or 5A secondary CT should be used. If residual connection is used, pickup levels and timers must be set with respect to the acceleration time.
SYSTEM DATA QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Unbalance Alarm and Trip: The unbalance settings are determined by examining the motor application and motor design. The heating effect of unbalance will be protected by enabling unbalance input to thermal memory; described in details in Chapter 5, Thermal Model. A setting of 10% for the Unbalance Alarm with a delay of 10 seconds would be appropriate and the trip can be set to 20% with a delay of 5 seconds.
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE SYSTEM DATA Bearing RTDs: The Bearing RTD alarm and trip settings will be determined by evaluating the temperature specification from the bearing manufacturer. Unbalance Bias Of Thermal Capacity: Enable the Unbalance Bias of Thermal Capacity so that the heating effect of unbalance currents is added to the Thermal Capacity Used.
SYSTEM DATA QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE RTD Bias Maximum: This setpoint is set to the rating of the insulation or slightly less. A class F insulation is used in this motor that is rated at 155°C, so setting should be 155. 806550A1.CDR You should now be familiar with maneuvering through and editing setpoint messages.
