Functional Features
- Multi-level Motor Protection: Integrates multi-dimensional protection functions including overcurrent, temperature, voltage, and mechanical faults (locked rotor, overspeed). It distinguishes between normal motor start-up and fault states through adaptive algorithms (such as avoiding misjudgment of overcurrent during start-up), ensuring the accuracy and rapidity of protection.
- Precise Thermal Simulation Protection: Built-in motor thermal model, which calculates winding temperature in real-time (considering ambient temperature, load rate, and cooling method). Compared with traditional RTD protection, it can better reflect the real thermal state of the motor, preventing insulation aging or burnout and extending motor life.
- Comprehensive Condition Monitoring: In addition to conventional current and voltage measurements, it can monitor motor vibration (requiring an external sensor), bearing temperature, operating efficiency, and other parameters. It predicts potential faults (such as bearing wear and winding insulation degradation) through trend analysis, enabling predictive maintenance.
- Flexible Communication and Integration: Supports protocols such as IEC 61850, Modbus TCP/IP, and DNP3.0, and can be connected to industrial Ethernet or SCADA systems to realize remote monitoring, parameter setting, and fault diagnosis. It has a built-in web server, allowing access to device status via a browser, simplifying the debugging process.
- Powerful Event Recording: Can store 1000 event records (with timestamp, accuracy ±1ms) and 20 fault waveforms (sampling rate 128 points/cycle), supporting data export via USB interface. It helps maintenance personnel trace the cause of faults and shorten downtime.
- Modular Expansion: Supports hot-swap expansion of I/O modules and communication modules. It can increase the number of DI/DO points or add special functions (such as synchronous motor excitation control) according to motor power and control requirements, adapting to different application scenarios.
Application Fields
- Industrial Production Drive Systems: In key equipment such as main motors of rolling mills in steel plants, stirring motors of reactors in chemical plants, and kiln fans in cement plants, it provides overload, short-circuit, and overheating protection to prevent production line shutdowns caused by motor faults. For example, a steel enterprise uses this relay to realize locked rotor protection for rolling mill motors, avoiding roll breakage accidents.
