1. INTRODUCTION

The MSP Systems bv MSP1000 Motor protection relays are designed to protect electrical motors and connected loads from possible damage whilst minimizing the possibility of erroneous tripping and providing full information to the operator. The MSP1000 Motor protection relay is designed to protect the motor from the fol-lowing occurrences. Thermal overload and cooling problems by RMS current measurement, thermistor monitoring, true thermal models and programmable starting conditions. Mechanical overload by stall protection as well as the thermal overload model. Electrical fault conditions of short circuit, phase imbalance, earth fault and phase re-versal. The MSP1000 Motor protection relay may be configured to control Direct on Line (DOL), Direct on Line Reversing (DOLR), 2 Speed, Star-Delta, Auto-Transformer, Soft Start and Variable speed drives. Total protection means system protection not just the motor Up to 99A Full Load current can be monitored directly with the 16mm internal diame-ter Current transformers which are an integral part of the Protection Unit whilst above this various configurations of CTs can be provided. Earth Leakage current can be monitored either directly with the integral phase Cur-rent transformers or for more accurate requirements a Core Balance Current Trans-former (CBCT) can be connected. The Monitor Unit provides a local Interface to the operator and can display percent-age load current, phase current, unbalance, earth fault current, reserve thermal ca-pacity & remaining time to trip. User configurable settings can be monitored. Alarms and trips can be reset locally or remotely. The MSP1000 Motor protection relay can be configured by PC over a RS232 Serial Link or alternatively via a MSP Gateway Device.

1.1 Description of components The MSP1000 Motor protection relay consists of a Protection unit and an optional Monitor unit. The units are intended for mounting in Motor Control Centers.

1.3 MSP1000 List of connections

1.3.1 MSP1000 Protection Unit 115V/230V

For all interconnections employ instrumentation wiring practices 'DISPLAY' Connects to a MSP-1000 Monitor Unit. 'OPTIONS' For future connections 'PC LINK' Optionally connects either temporarily to a programmer PC (RS232), or permanently to the MSP Gateway Device. In the latter case configuration can be achieved by connecting the programmer PC to the Gateway Device. 1, 2, 3 Connect 1 to earth. This should be earthed to the rear mountingplate or DIN rail immediately adjacent to the side of the unit. Connect 2 to Neutral supply. Connect 3 to Line supply. See part numbers for supply voltage. Use isolated stranded copper wire 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16. 11, 12 NO contact of trip relay (power-off state = open) 13, 14 NC contact of trip relay (power-off state = closed) The relay can be set for failsafe and non-failsafe operation. It must be wired into the motor's start/stop logic such that the motor stops when The relay is operated, and cannot be restarted until the relay is reset. Use isolated stranded copper wire 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16. 15, 16 NO contact of alarm relay (power-off state = open) 17, 18 NC contact of alarm relay (power-off state = closed) The relay can be set for failsafe and non-failsafe operation. It can optionally be used to generate any sort of action the user finds useful In case of events designated by the programmer PC to be an'alarm'. Use isolated stranded copper wire 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16.

21,22 If a Core Balance Current Transformer (CBCT) is used to measure 23,24 Current flowing to earth, it must be connected to terminals 21 and 22, Using twisted pair cable, preferably shielded, 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16. The shield must be connected to instrument earth at either end of the cable. Terminals 23 and 24 must be connected together in this case. The length of the cable is limited by its resistance; the resistance must be low enough not to cause saturation of the CBCT at the maximum current level one wants to be able to measure (this figures limited to 17A, since that is the full scale value of the system). 25, 26 Input for an optional remote reset push button (NO). Use wires 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16; for runs longer than 2m twisted pair. Length is not explicitly limited, except by cable resistance (max 1kΩ). 27, 28 Input for an optional thermistor or string of max 6 thermistors. Use twisted pair wire, 0.5-1.5 mm2, AWG22...16. Length is not explicitly limited, except by cable resistance (max 20Ω if short circuit detection is required, else max 100ê).

1.3.2 MSP1000 Monitor Unit

For all interconnections employ instrumentation wiring practices. This unit has only one outlet on the back side. Use cable assembly according to drawing 1 to connect to a MSP-1000 Protection Unit.

2. HANDLING AND STORAGE Units should be stored in an temperature between -30°C and 70°C. Unless mounted the units should not be removed from their original packaging.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Planning In order to avoid the greatest degree of protection from spurious electrical signals and comply with EMC requirements units should be mounted in a metallic enclosure suitably earthed and with the door also bonded to earth according to good electrical practice. The maximum cable size that can be accommodated directly in the current transformer (CTs) apertures is 16mm per phase.

Full load current (I-nominal) setting range: One model covering the range of 1.6 to 10,000Amp (Inom). Using ../5 CT’s

NOTE: Interposing CTs may be low cost Instrument Class (IEC158/BS7626) be-cause

1.00 - 9.99 KA 0.01 KA External

10.0 - 99.9 KA 0.1 KA external

12

Earth leakage monitoring can be set to an accuracy of between 3% and 30% of

actual running current using the integral CTs, for greater sensitivity than this an external Core Balance Current Transformer (CBCT) can be used. The MSP1000 will then be capable of being set in the range of 0.1 to 10A of actual Ground Fault cur-rent. The ratio of the CBCT is 500:1. A range of CBCTs matched to the MSP1000 can be supplied which also include split core types. The MSP1000 Motor protection relays are factory set for 115 or 230 nominal control voltages. Should the wrong control voltage have been ordered then special instruc-tions can be given to alter the control voltage.

3.2 Installation a. The Protection Unit should be mounted on a standard DIN mounting rail or Alternatively directly on a backplate by means of the 2 corner fixings. Orientation of the Protection Unit is not critical. Note: all cables should be run adjacent to the metal surfaces and not suspended freely in mid-air. b. The Control Voltage at 115V or 230V should be attached to terminals 2 & 3. The 115 or 230V supply live and neutral conductors to the Protection Unit should be run side-by-side directly to the units. The return circuit must always follow the path of the supply circuit and not be looped around to the other components before returning. c. The incoming supply earth should be directly bonded to the metal enclosure by a short lead (no longer than 160mm) and a minimum cross section of 1.5mm2 (AWG16). d. The earth connection to terminal 1 should be taken directly to the DIN rail or the metal backplate adjacent to the Right hand side of the Protection Unit. e. The typical system configuration diagrams for MSP1000 connections are in-

cluded in Chapter 6. f. If the full load motor current is between 1.6-99A the MSP1000 can be used as a stand-alone unit with the motor cable passing through the 16mm (0.63") di-ameter holes in the unit. If the motor current is between 5-10,000Amp, or cables are of a diameter greater than 16mm interposing CTs can be used. See figure 5 for connections. g. If required connect thermistor units (max. 6 in one line) using screened twisted Pair cable, connected to terminals 27 and 28. h. If required connect the Core Balance Current Transformer to terminals 21 and 22, with twisted pair cable. Connect a short wire link between terminals 23 and 24 if the CBCT is fitted.

13

i. The trip relay volt free contacts (NO) should be connected into contactor control circuit from terminals 11 and 12 and if required the (NC) volt free contacts are

available at terminals 13 and 14. This is on the basis that the relay is to be set up as failsafe. j. If required the Remote reset can be connected between terminals 25 and 26 using twisted pair cable. k. The volt free contacts of the Alarm Relay can be connected between terminals 15 & 16 (NO) and 17 & 18 (NC). l. Install the MSP1000 monitor in the front panel if required. Use the cable provided (1.5m, 60") to connect the monitor unit to the MSP1000 Protection unit, if the supplied cable is not long enough a similar cable can be made up with a maximum cable length of 10 meters. Ensure that the cable is run in close proximity to metalwork and is spaced 30mm apart from control cables. m. Either connect the MSP1000 Unit permanently to a MSP Gateway device using the cable assembly as drawing 3 or alternatively make a temporary connection to a PC RS232 Serial port as shown in drawing 2. If a permanent connection is made to the MSP Gateway device then the unit can still be configured via the MSP Gateway device, by connecting the PC Programmer to this device. n. Power up the MSP1000 and Personal computer. Check that the "must flash" LED is flashing on the MSP1000 and that the front panels LCD is indicating. o. Install the Software on the PC.

7. CE MARKING AND THE EMC DIRECTIVE

7.1 The EMC requirements Compliance with the EMC Directive is mandatory from January 1996 for almost all electrical equipment placed on the market or taken into service anywhere in the European Community. The directive applies to apparatus and systems but does not apply to components or installations. In order to CE mark the product the Manufacturer or European Agent has to make a 'Declaration of conformity'. Before a declaration of conformity can be made the product must have either (a) been formally tested to the Generic or Product Specific EMC standards as detailed in the Official Journal (OJ) of the European Community. or (b) a Technical Construction File must have been created which in turn must be approved by an DTI appointed 'Competent Body'. A technical construction file is a document where logic reasoning is used as a complement to laboratory testing. A technical construction file is used where the equipment is too large to be tested in a laboratory or where products exist in many similar versions.

MSP1000 On the basis of the tests to the Generic Standards and the approval of the technical construction file a formal declaration of conformity to the EMC Directive is made. Consequently we will now be CE marking these products.

7.2 Installation Data pertinent to EMC requirements The following installation information is given throughout this manual in the appropri-ate sections: (a) The equipment should be mounted in a metallic enclosure suitably earthed and with the door also bonded to earth according to good electrical practice. (b) The incoming supply earth should be directly bonded to the metal enclosure by a short lead (no longer than 160mm) and a minimum cross section of 1.5mm2 (AWG16). (c) All cables should be run adjacent to the metal surfaces and not suspended freely in mid-air. (d) The 115 or 230V supply live and neutral conductors to the Protection Unit should be run side-by-side directly to the unit. The return circuit must always allow the path of the supply circuit and not be looped around to other components before returning.

20

(e) The Protection Unit Earth terminal should be connected to the DIN rail or backplate earth at the immediate side of the unit. (f) The Data cable between the display unit and the protection unit should be run a minimum of 25mm apart from control cables to stop/start pushbuttons, etc. (g) Twisted pair cables should be used for the reset line. (h) Screened cables should be used for the thermistor input. (i) RS485 Datalink cables should be run externally in screened twisted pair cables. The cable should be earthed at the point of entry to the enclosure by means of a cable gland which clamps the cable earth screen through a full 360 degrees. 'Pigtail' earth connections must be avoided. Equipment is required to be installed in line with the above statements in order to comply with the EMC Directive.

8. LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE In order to comply with the Low Voltage Directive the equipment must be (a) Safe. (b) Constructed in accordance with good engineering practice. (c) Safe when connected to the electricity supply system by the provision of protective earthing and other means. (d) Designed and constructed to conform with the principal elements of the Safety Objectives. Note that these safety objectives can be met by compliance with a Harmonised Standard. The Manufacturer or his agent must (e) Draw up and hold a Declaration of Conformity. (f) Compile and hold the Technical Documentation. (g) Have the 'CE' Mark affixed to the Product, its packaging, the instruction sheet or its guarantee certificate.

9. MACHINERY SAFETY DIRECTIVE The MSP1000 is not a machine in the sense of the machinery directive as it has no moving parts and the risks are mainly of electrical origin and covered by the Low Voltage Directive.

APPENDIX 1 : General Information on Temperature Monitoring Two types of temperature measuring sensors are catered for. Thermistor type (PTC) for use with the MSP overload relay and the PT100 for use with the RTD3 devices. PTC, direct to MSP1000 thermistor input. PT100 via RTD units, relay contact to thermistor input.

Thermistor (PTC100) The Thermistor is a semi-conductor element with a temperature-dependent, non-linear resistance characteristic, also known as a thermistor with Positive Tempera-ture Coefficient (PTC). The resistance of the thermistor is relatively low at normal temperatures and remains nearly constant up to a critical value - referred to as Nominal Actuating Temperature (NAT) - which is selected for the class of winding insulation that is to be protected. At this point (NAT), even a slight increase in tem-perature will cause the resistance of the thermistor to rise to a value up to several hundred times its normal value when cold. The positive characteristic, i.e. resistance increase with temperature, achieves inherent safety; an open circuit of a thermistor or broken connection will have the same effect as an unsafe temperature.

Platinum resistance thermometer (PT100) For precise temperature measurement the PLATINUM RESISTANCE THERMOME-TER, and in particular the ceramic bodied wire-wound platinum resistance tempera-ture detector has the highest performance, when compared against "film" and "glassed" types of detectors. These devices are ideally suited for differential bearing temperature monitoring when suitably located in the bearing outer housing. The sup-pliers of the devices should be consulted for optimum results.
