Figure. 5.4.17 - 94. Example of application: motor starting scheme and using motor status signals.
When a motor is starting, an overcurrent stage with a low pick-up setting is either blocked or –as in
some relays– the setting value is multiplied by a prescribed factor. This prevents the protection stage
from activating and the motor from starting, especially when the low-set overcurrent stage has an
operating time that is shorter than the start-up time of the protected motor. The figure above presents
how the START signals behave during a motor start-up. Also note that the
Mo
Mottor star
or starting
ting signal can be
used to block the overcurrent stage.
