For brushless motors squirrel cage protection is derived from stator current inputs. Protection characteristics are shown in the following graph and the thermal limit is defined by the Stall Time and Locked Rotor Amps relay setpoints. 80 60 50 Run Time Allowable Zero Speed Stall Time Squirrel Cage Protection 100 3 Reduced Voltage Starting The SPM can dynamically adjust the motor stall time to allow successful starting during reduced voltage conditions. 6 4 1. 2 5 1.0 1.5 1 10 0 The SPM controls starting, synchronizing and protection of collector-ring or brushless type synchronous motors.

The SPM will also learn the amount of thermal capacity required for a successful motor start . Each new value of the thermal capacity is compared with the learned starting capacity required. The SPM will prevent an attempted restart if the cage winding has not had sufficient cooling time to allow a successful start. This element is used to avoid motor overheating due to frequent starts. 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 150 Trip Time (seconds) A 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 B 40 Run Time Zero Speed Stall Time 900 Stall Time - 30 Sec Locked Rotor - 6XFLC 30 25 20 15 10 8 Line 6 Voltage 5 50% 4 3 65% 2 80% 1.5 90% 100% 1 10 0 1000 A 20 48 15 SPM 86 94 C 5 Stator Protection (469) 4 3 IA C 50P 55 V AC 2 .8 .9 1 1.5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 Trip Current (Multiples of Programmed Full Load Current) Calibrator I DC 37 701762A6.cdr Typical cage heating protection for brushless motors. For collector ring motors the squirrel cage protection algorithm is based on motor rotation speed during acceleration. Speed is determined from the frequency of the induced rotor voltage across the rotor discharge resistor. At less than synchronous speed the following typical cage heating protection characteristics are used: DC CT V DC MOTOR 27 26F 95 48 DC SUPPLY CLUTCH COUPLING 94 95 56 LOAD 96 701767A9.cdr 446 446 50 60 70 80 www.GEDigitalEnergy.com 90 100 701760A8.cdr These curves show how the trip characteristic of the amortisseur winding protection is adjusted for reduced voltage starts.

Exciter DC Voltage Protection Exciter voltage protection is available by connecting the exciter output to the SPM terminals VE+ and VE- through a voltage divider network (VDN). This is used on equipment where the exciters are energized prior to motor startup. Field Winding Overtemperature Option This function emulates a resistance temperature device (RTD) on the field windings. As the ratio of field voltage to field current increases, the field resistance increases, indicating an increase in temperature of the field winding. Field Winding Overtemperature is only available when the optional DCCT and Field Current Calibration Module have been ordered with the SPM. Control Features The SPM offers users advanced control features such as: Power Factor (Pull-Out) Protection The SPM provides pull-out protection for synchronous motors operating in either generating or motoring modes. The SPM provides power factor settings and displays the measured leading/lagging power factor. The power factor regulation option enables field forcing in advance of a pull-out condition. Motor pull-out protection is provided by a circuit which monitors the power factor and has a built in time delay to prevent inadvertent tripping on transients. Two modes of pullout protection are available, re-sync mode and ride-thru mode. These modes will be initiated if the lagging power factor drops below the programmed set point, or if a line current surge occurs which is above four times the motor full load current. Re-sync mode operation will cause the Field Application Relay (FAR) to remove the motor field excitation. The motor will continue to run with the field removed for the programmed power factor delay time. If re-synchronization does not occur within this time the trip relay will operate and the motor will stop. In ride-thru mode the motor field excitation is not removed immediately. Instead, the SPM allows the motor to run for the power factor delay time. If the power factor dip or line current surge persists, the trip relay will operate and the motor will stop. Main Contactor A B DC Supply to Motor Field MOTOR C Field Contactor Field Voltage Input SCR Proportional Exciter Current Input PF Detection PF Feedback PF Regulator Control Signal Starting and Synchronizing For collector ring motors, the SPM detects the rotor speed and angle and determines the correct time to close the field application relay based on the percent synchronous slip setpoint . This applies excitation to the motor field and opens up the field discharge resistor loop. For brushless motors, the voltage is applied to the exciter after a preset programmable time elapses. Power factor pullout protection is then enabled. A contact (FCX) is also provided to signal automatic motor loading. Reluctance Torque Synchronizing Reluctance torque synchronizing is when a lightly loaded synchronous motor pulls into synchronization before the rotor poles are externally magnetized. The SPM’s field application control responds by applying excitation if a motor synchronizes on reluctance torque. Power Factor Regulation Power factor regulation is a DC control signal output used to control a variable SCR exciter output . This replaces the standard power factor analog signal output. This option is not recommended for brushless applications. The regulator has five set-points that can be adjusted while the motor is running to facilitate regulator tune-up. They are: • PF setpoint – range from 0.9 lagging, through 1.0 to 0.0 leading • Reg output – upper limit of the control voltage output signal • Reg gain – adjusted for optimum regulator performance • Reg stability – time adjustment to help compensate for instability • Reg floor – lower limit of the control voltage output signal www.GEDigitalEnergy.com SPM PF Reg Setpoint Output Motor Protection Incomplete Sequence Protection Reg Reg Reg Gain Stability Floor 701754A5.cdr Power factor regulation – functional block diagram. Monitoring and Metering The SPM provides a number of monitoring and metering functions including: SPM Displays and Messages The SPM has a 40 character LCD display for programming, displaying trip information, and monitoring metered values such as line amperes, field amperes, power factor, line current, field volts, field current, and field ohms. The SPM also stores motor run time and the number and types of motor trips. Trip, Field Application (FAR) and FCX relay states may also be monitored. Self-Tests and Diagnostics The SPM has built-in test diagnostics to indicate that the relay is operating properly prior to start-up. The SPM also contains a test mode, which includes the following tests: • Trip relay contacts • System test • Squirrel cage protection test • Synchronization • Power factor test The system test performs a complete check of the internal memory, input-output devices and other system functions. Inputs and Outputs The SPM offers the user a variety of input and output solutions: 447 SPM Synchronous Motor Protection System Field Voltage Input: closes when the motor reaches full voltage during a reduced inrush start. Control Power: The SPM has an AC power supply with a range from 85 to 265 VAC. If control voltage excursions occur outside this range, an external stabilizing ansformer should be used in conjunction with optional separate power factor reference voltage inputs. The induced field voltages VF+ and VF- are monitored through their connection to the external discharge resistor via the VDN, providing instantaneous value of motor slip. Exciter Voltage Input: The VE+ and VE- terminals are connected to the exciter via the VDN to monitor DC exciter voltage. Trip Relay: The Trip contact is connected to a failsafe normally open contact. This contact closes on relay power up and opens on a trip condition to de-energize the motor. Power Factor Reference Voltage: FAR Relay: The PF reference voltage is derived from the control power terminals, V1 and V2. The SPM also has an optional input for separately powered PF reference voltage, V1EXT and V2EXT. Effective range 85 to 265 VAC. Exciter Current Input: Motor Protection Analog Output is replaced with a 0 to 10 V power factor regulation control output. This signal is used as an input to a variable SCR exciter. The field current IE+ and IE- terminals are connected to the DC field via a DCCT and a calibration module (ordered separately) to detect field loss. The field application relay is a normally open contact. This contact closes to apply DC to the motor field to pull motor into synchronization. FCX Relay: Power Factor Analog Signal Output: Motor Line Current: The field contactor auxiliary relay picks up at setpoint time delay after the FAR relay picks up and is used to signal external systems to auto load/unload the motor. A zero to ten volt DC output corresponds to the motor power factor. Zero volts represents zero lagging power factor, five volts represents unity power factor, and ten volts represents zero leading power factor. A one volt change corresponds to an 18 degree phase shift. Two input terminals, or four for brushless, are connected to the system current transformers. Motor ‘On’ Input: Accepts a normally closed dry electrical interlock that opens when the motor is energized and closes when the motor is de-energized. Reduced Voltage Starting Input: Accepts a normally open dry electrical interlock that Communications The SPM is equipped with a rear RS485 port that can be used for remote programming, or for connection to a DCS, SCADA, or PLC. The port supports ModBus® RTU protocol. The RS485 port baud rate is variable from 300-115,000 bps.
