  • Page 43: Functions

    Functions 3RV motor starter protectors meet the requirements for motor and system protection according to IEC 60947‑2 / DIN VDE 0660‑101. Motor and system protection is achieved using the following functions: • Overload protection • Short-circuit protection • Phase loss sensitivity SIRIUS 3RV Motor Starter Protectors Equipment Manual, 09/2024, A5E03656507320A/RS-AL/012...
  • Page 44: Overload And Short-Circuit Protection

    Functions 6.1 Overload and short-circuit protection Overload and short-circuit protection Overload protection The rated current of the motor requiring protection (see rating plate) is set on the setting scale. This sets the integrated overload protection to the motor current. Short-circuit protection The short-circuit release is factory-set to a multiple of the motor starter protector's rated current (top value on the setting scale).
  • Page 45: Tripping Characteristics

    Functions 6.1 Overload and short-circuit protection 6.1.2 Tripping characteristics The time-current characteristic, the current-limiting characteristics, and the I t characteristics have been determined according to DIN VDE 0660/IEC 60947. In the case of the time-current characteristic, the tripping characteristic of the inverse-time delayed overload release (thermal overload release) applies for alternating current with frequencies from 0 Hz up to 400 Hz.

    Functions 6.2 Phase loss sensitivity Phase loss sensitivity The phase loss sensitivity (not in the case of 3RV20..-..-0DA0, 3RV23, 3RV27 and 3RV28) of the motor starter protector ensures that it trips in good time in the event of a phase failure or significant phase unbalance.
  • Page 49: Protection Of Single-Phase Loads

    Functions 6.3 Protection of single-phase loads Protection of single-phase loads The 3RV20..-..-0DA0 motor starter protectors for system protection and 3RV27 / 3RV28 circuit breakers according to UL 489 do not feature phase asymmetry detection. Therefore these devices can be used for the protection of single-phase or two-phase loads. The 3RV20..-..-0DA0 motor starter protectors for system protection do not have UL approval.
  • Page 50: Test Function

    Functions 6.4 Test function Test function The TEST slide / TEST pushbutton can be used to check whether the operational motor starter protector is working correctly (not on the 3RV23 / 3RV27 / 3RV28 circuit breakers in sizes S00 and S0). The tripping of the motor starter protector can be simulated by operating the slide / pushbutton.

    Configuration 7.4 Motor protection Motor protection The tripping characteristic of 3RV10 / 3RV20 / 3RV21 motor starter protectors is primarily designed for protecting three-phase motors. The rated current I of the motor to be protected (see nameplate) is set on the setting scale. The short-circuit release is factory-set to a multiple of the motor starter protector's rated current (top value on the setting scale).
