23. Various Industry Motor Applications
•Fans, Blowers
•Pumps, Compressors
•Grinders, Chippers
•Conveyors, Shredders
•Crushers, Mixers
•Cranes, Extruders
•Refiners, Chillers
24. Thermal Stress Causes Motor Failure
•Most of the motor failure contributors and failed motor components are related
to motor overheating.
•Thermal stress potentially can cause the failure of all the major motor parts:
Stator, Rotor, Bearings, Shaft and Frame.
25. Overvoltage Protection
•The overall result of an overvoltage condition is a decrease in
load current and poor power factor.
•Although old motors had robust design, new motors are designed
close to saturation point for better utilization of core materials and
increasing the V/Hz ratio cause saturation of air gap flux leading
to motor heating.
•The overvoltage element should be set to 110% of the motors
nameplate unless otherwise started in the data sheets.
26. Undervoltage Protection
•The overall result of an undervoltage condition is an increase in current and motor
heating and a reduction in overall motor performance.
•The undervoltage protection element can be thought of as backup protection
for the thermal overload element. In some cases, if an undervoltage condition
exists it may be desirable to trip the motor faster than thermal overload
element.
•The undervoltage trip should be set to 80-90% of nameplate unless otherwise
stated on the motor data sheets.
•Motors that are connected to the same source/bus may experience a
temporary undervoltage, when one of motors starts. To override this temporary
voltage sags, a time delay setpoint should be set greater than the motor starting
time.
27. Unbalance Protection
•Indication of unbalance Î negative sequence current / voltage
•Unbalance causes motor stress and temperature rise
•Current unbalance in a motor is result of unequal line voltages
•Unbalanced supply, blown fuse, single-phasing
•Current unbalance can also be present due to:
•Loose or bad connections
•Incorrect phase rotation connection
•Stator turn-to-turn faults
Motor Relay
•For a typical three-phase induction motor:
•1% voltage unbalance (V2) relates to 6% current unbalance (I2)
•For small and medium sized motors, only current transformers (CTs) are available and no voltage
transformers (VTs). Measure current unbalance and protect motor.
•The heating effect caused by current unbalance will be protected by enabling the unbalance
input to the thermal model
•For example, a setting of 10-15% x FLA for the current unbalance alarm with a delay of 5-10
seconds and a trip level setting of 20-25% x FLA for the current unbalance trip with a delay of
2-5 seconds would be appropriate.
28. Ground Fault Protection
•A ground fault is a fault that creates a path for current
to flow from one of the phases directly to the neutral
through the earth bypassing the load
•Ground faults in a motor occur:
•When its phase conductor’s insulation is damaged for example
due to voltage stress, moisture or internal fault occurs between
the conductor and ground
•To limit the level of the ground fault current connect an
impedance between the supplies neutral and ground.
This impedance can be in the form of a resistor or
grounding transformer sized to ensure maximum ground
fault current is limited.
29. Ground Fault Protection
Zero Sequence CT Connection
•Best method
•Most sensitive & inherent noise immunity
•All phase conductors are passed through the window of the same CT referred to as the
zero sequence CT
•Under normal circumstances, the three phase currents will sum to zero resulting in an output
of zero from the Zero Sequence CT’s secondary.
•If one of the motors phases were to shorted to ground, the sum of the phase currents
would no longer equal zero causing a current to flow in the secondary of the zero
sequence. This current would be detected by the motor relay as a ground fault.
30. Differential Protection
•Differential protection may be considered the first line of protection
for internal phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults. In the event
of such faults, the quick response of the differential element may
limit the damage that may have otherwise occurred to the motor.
Core balance method:
•Two sets of CT’s, one at the beginning of the
motor feeder, and the other at the neutral point
•Alternatively, one set of three core-balance
CTs can also be used
•The differential element subtracts the current
coming out of each phase from the current
going into each phase and compares the result
or difference with the differential pickup level.
31. Differential Protection
Summation method with six CTs:
•If six CTs are used in a summing configuration, during
motor starting, the values from the two CTs on each
phase may not be equal as the CTs are not perfectly
identical and asymmetrical currents may cause the CTs
on each phase to have different outputs.
•To prevent nuisance tripping in this configuration, the
differential level may have to be set less sensitive, or
the differential time delay may have to be extended to
ride through the problem period during motor starting.
•The running differential delay can then be fine tuned to
an application such that it responds very fast and is
sensitive to low differential current levels.
32. Short Circuit Protection
The short circuit element provides protection for
excessively high overcurrent faults
Phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults are
common types of short circuits
When a motor starts, the starting current (which
is typically 6 times the Full Load Current) has
asymmetrical components . These asymmetrical
currents may cause one phase to see as much as
1.7 times the RMS starting current.
To avoid nuisance tripping during starting, set
the the short circuit protection pick up to a value at
least 1.7 times the maximum expected symmetrical
starting current of motor.
The breaker or contactor must have an interrupting
capacity equal to or greater then the maximum
available fault current or let an upstream protective
device interrupt fault current.
33. Stator RTD Protection
•A simple method to determine the heating within the
motor is to monitor the stator with RTDs.
•Stator RTD trip level should be set at or below the
maximum temperature rating of the insulation.
•For example, a motor with class F insulation that has
a temperature rating of 155°C could have the Stator
RTD Trip level be set between 140°C to 145°C, with
145° C being the maximum (155°C - 10°C hot spot)
The stator RTD alarm level could be set to a level to
provide a warning that the motor temperature is rising

54. Variable Frequency Drives
Types of AC ASD's
There are three different types of ASD's on
the market that primarily differ in the type
of rectification they use to convert AC to
DC and back to AC.
VVI - Variable Voltage Input
CSI - Current Source Input
PWM - Pulse Width Modulated
55. Variable Frequency Drives
Basic Principle of Operation
The electronic VFD can be used to vary the
speed of an AC motor and at the same time
retain its torque producing capability. The main
power source provides a fixed voltage, fixed
frequency supply that is converted into a
variable voltage, variable frequency output in
such a way that in most of the operating speed
range, the V/f ratio is maintained constant.
This of course is achieved though sophisticated
microprocessor based control electronics.
A VFD consists of an input rectifier (which
converts AC to DC) followed by an inverter
(that inverts DC to AC) connected through a DC
intermediate voltage link.
56. Energy Savings through Speed Control
The power consumption of a blower or pump
follows the "Cube Law", which means that by
reducing the speed to 80% of the maximum
value the power consumption will be reduced
to about 50%.
Improved Power Factor
A Variable Frequency Drive offers a
fundamental power factor of near unity at all
loads and speeds and hence no Power Factor
Correction (PFC) capacitors are required.
Added to that is the advantage of substantial
restriction on the Reactive Power drawing thus
avoiding penalties from the electric supply
company.
57. Affinity Laws governing fluid flow
The characteristics of centrifugal equipment such as blowers and pumps vis-à-vis flow can
be explained by the following basic equations:
Flow is proportional to speed (F α N)
Pressure is proportional to square of speed (P α N2)
Therefore Power = F × P α N3
From the above equations it can be very easily concluded that while at the maximum flow
with 100% speed the power consumption is 100%, at 50% flow with corresponding speed
of 50% the power consumed is just 12.5%. A small reduction in speed therefore produces
a very significant reduction in power consumption.
58. Reduction in mechanical wear and tear
When a HVAC installation no longer runs at full speed additional benefits apart from those
related to energy savings are available:
• Increased lifetime of belt drive on fans.
• With soft start/stop there is less wear and tear on bearings.
• Some VFDs have automatic belt monitoring, which increases intervals between maintenance
• No more jammed guide vanes/dampers.
• Lower noise levels.
• On pumps, fitting a VFD will result in eliminating water hammer during start/stop situations.
Increased Comfort Level
As a byproduct of the energy savings from reducing fan speeds, acoustic air movement
noise from the fan is also reduced.
Noise from fans in a quiet environment can be very annoying. If a fan sized for full
occupancy is supplying a partly occupied room, the acoustic noise level can be as high as
70 dbA. The noise level will vary depending on the throttling with dampers or guide
vanes. More the throttling, greater is the noise.
59. Line and Load Reactors
Essentially a reactor is an inductor.
Use a reactor:
To add Line Impedance.
To provide some voltage buffering against
low magnitude line spikes.
To reducing Harmonics (When no link choke
is present).
To compensating for a low inductance
motor.
Only as part of a filter for reflected wave
reduction.
