1.1 OVERVIEW1 INTRODUCTION
Some of the protection highlig hts are detailed here; a complete list is shown below. Four assignable digital
inputs may be configured for a number of different features including tachometer or generic trip and alarm with
1
a programmable name . The thermal model inc orporates unbalance bia sing, RTD feedback, and exponent ial
cooling. In addition to the 15 standard overload curves, there is a custom curve feature and a curve specifically
designed for the starting of high inertia loads, when the acceleration time exceeds the safe stall time. A second
overload curve is pr ovided for two-speed motors. Ground fau lts or earth leakage as low as 0.25 A may be
detected using the GE Power Management 50:0.025 Ground CT. CT inputs for phase differential protection are
also provided. The 12 RTD inputs provided may be individually field programmed for different RTD types. Voltage transformer inputs allow for numerous protec tion features based on vo ltage and power quantities. F our
4 to 20 mA analog inputs ma y be used for tripping and alarm ing on any transducer input such as vibration,
pressure, flow, etc.

Fault diagnostics are provided through pretrip data, event record, trace memory, and statistics. Prior to issuing
a trip, the 469 takes a snapshot of the measured parame ters and stores them with the cause of the trip. This
pre-trip data may be viewed using the key before the trip i s reset, or by accessing the
LAST TRIP DATA
actual values. The 469 event recorder stores up to 40 time and date stamped events including
NEXT
A1 STATUS /
the pre-trip data. Each time a trip occurs, the 469 stores a trace of 8 cycles pre-trip and 8 cycles post-trip for all
measured AC quantities . Trip counters record the number of occurrenc es of each type of trip. Minimum an d
maximum values for RTDs and analog inputs are also recorded. These features enable the operator to pinpoint
a problem quickly and with certainty.
Power metering is buil t into the 469 as a s tandard feature. The ta ble below outline s the metered param eters
available either through the front panel or communications ports.
The 469 is equipped with 3 fully functional and independent communications ports. The front panel RS232 port
may be used for 469 setpoint program ming , loca l interro gation or control , and upgradi ng of 469 fir mware. Th e
Computer RS485 port m ay be connecte d to a PLC, DCS , or PC based u ser interfac e program. The A uxiliary
RS485 port may be used for redundancy or simultaneous interrogat ion and/or control from a second PLC,
DCS, or PC software.
There are also four 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 1 mA (as specified with order) transducer outputs that may be assi gne d
to any measured parameter. The range of these outputs is scalable.
Additional features are outlined in the table below.

All 469 features are standard; there are no options. The phase CT secondaries, control power, and analog output range must be specified at the time of order. The 469 differential CT inputs are field programmable for CTs
with 1 A or 5 A secondaries. There are two gr ound CT inputs, one for the GE Power Manageme nt 50:0.025
core balance CT and one for a ground CT with a 1 A or 5 A secondary, also field programmable. The VT inputs
will accommodate VTs in either a delta or wye configuration. The output relays are always non-failsafe with the
exception of the serv ice relay. The 469PC software is p rovided with each unit. A metal dem o case may be
ordered for demonstration or testing purposes.

The 469 is packaged in the standard GE Power Management SR series arrangement, which consists of a drawout unit and a co mpanion fixed case. The case provides mechanical protection to the unit and is used to
make permanent con nections to al l external e quipment. The only electric al components mounted in the case
are those required to c onnect the unit to the external wiring. Connections in th e case are fitted with mechanisms required to al low the sa fe r em ov al of th e rel ay uni t fr om an ene rg ized panel (for example, automatic CT
shorting). The unit is mechanically held in the case by pins on the locking handle that cannot be fully lowered to
the locked position unt il the elec trical con nections ar e complete ly mated. A ny 469 can b e install ed in any 46 9
case, except for c ustom man ufactured un its that a re clearl y identifie d as suc h on both case and unit, and are
equipped with an index pin keying mechanism to prevent incorrect pairings.
No special ventilatio n requirements need to be observed duri ng the installation of the unit. The 469 c an be
cleaned with a damp cloth.

Figure 2–1: DIMENSIONS
To prevent unauthorized re moval of th e drawou t unit, a wire lead seal ca n be ins talled in the s lot provi ded on
the handle. With this seal in place, the drawout unit cannot be removed. A passcode or setpoint access jumper
can be used to prevent entry of setpoints but allow monitoring of actual values. If access to the front panel controls must be restricted, a separate seal can be installed on the cover to prevent it from being opened.
Hazard may result if the product is not used for its intended purpose.

ground connections on the current inputs. If the unit is withdrawn , each phase CT ci rcuit is shorted by automatic mechanisms on the 469 cas e. The phas e CTs should be chosen so the FLA is no less than 50% of th e

2.2.7 VOLTAGE INPUTS
The 469 has three chan nels for AC voltage inputs , each with an isolating transf ormer. There are no internal
fuses or ground connec tions on the volta ge inputs. The maximum V T ratio is 150.00:1. T he two VT connections are open delta (s ee Figure 2–10: TYPICAL W IRING DIAGRAM on page 2–8) or wye (see below). T he
voltage channels are connected in wye internally, which means that the jumper shown on the delta-source connection of the TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM, between the phase B input and the 469 neutral terminal, must be
installed for open delta VTs.
Polarity of the VTs is critical for correct power measurement and voltage phase reversal operation.
A 1 A fuse is typically used to protect the inputs.

In addition, the +24 V DC analo g input supply is brought o ut for control power of loop power ed transducers.
Refer to Section 1.2: SPECIFICATIONS on page 1–5 for maximum current draw from this supply.

2.2.10 ANALOG OUTPUTS
The 469 provides 4 analog outp ut channels whi ch may be ordered to prov ide a full-sc ale range of e ither 0 to
1 mA (into a maximum 10 kΩ impedance) or 4 to 20 mA (into a maximum 1200Ω impedance). Each cha nnel
can be configured to provide full-scale output sensitivity for any range of any measured parameter.
As shown in Figure 2–10: TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM on page 2–8, these outputs share one common
return. Polarity of thes e outputs must be obs erved for proper o peration. Shie lded cable should b e used, with
only one end of the shield grounded, to minimize noise effects.
The analog output circuitry is isolated as a group with the Analog Input circuitry and the RTD circuitry. Only one
ground reference should be used for the three circuits. Transorbs limit this isolation to ±36 V with respect to the
469 safety ground.

2.2.11 RTD SENSOR CONNECTIONS
a) DESCRIPTION
The 469 monitors up to 12 RTD inputs for Stator, Bearing, Ambient, or Other temperature monitoring. The type
of each RTD is field programmable as 10 0Ω Platinum (DIN 43760), 100Ω Nickel, 120Ω Nickel, or 10Ω Copper. RTDs must be three wire type. Every two RTDs shares a common return.
The 469 RTD circuitry c ompensates for lead resistance, pr ovided that each of the three lea ds is the same
length. Lead resistance should not exceed 25Ω per lead for platinum/nickel type RTDs or 3Ω per lead for copper type RTDs. Shielded cabl e should be used to prevent noise picku p in the industrial environment. RTD
cables should be kept close to gr ounded metal ca sings and away from areas of high elec tromagnetic or radio
interference. RTD leads should not be run adjacent to or in the same conduit as high current carrying wires.

b) REDUCED RTD LEAD NUMBER APPLICATION
The 469 requires three le ads to b e br ou ght b ac k from eac h RTD: Hot, Return and Compensation. This can be
quite expensive. It is however pos sible to reduce the num ber of leads requi red to 3 for the first RTD and 1 for
each successive RTD. Refer to the figure below for wiring configuration for this application.
2
Figure 2–19: REDUCED WIRING RTDS
The Hot line would have to be run as usual for each RTD. The Compensation and Return leads, however, need
only be run for the first RTD. At the motor RTD terminal box, the RTD Return leads must be jumpered together
with as short as possible jumpers. The Compensation leads must be jumpered together at the 469.
Note that an error is produ ced on each RTD equal to the voltage drop acros s the jumper on the RTD return .
This error increases with each successive RTD added.

This error is dir ectly depe ndent on th e length and gauge of the wir e used for the jum pers an d any error introduced by a poor connecti on. For RTD types other than 10Ω Copper, the error introduced by the jumpers is
negligible.
This RTD wiring technique reduces the cost of wiring, however, the following disadvantages must be noted:
1. There will be an error in temperature readings due to lead an d connection resistan ces. This techniq ue is
NOT
recommended for 10Ω Copper RTDs.
2. If the RTD Return lead to the 469 or any of the jumpers break, all RTDs from the point of the break will read
open.
3. If the Compensation lead or any of the jum pers break, all RTDs from the point of the break wi ll function
without any lead compensation.

c) TWO WIRE RTD LEAD COMPENSA TION
An example of how to add lead compensation to a two wire R TD may is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2–20: 2 WIRE RTD LEAD COMPENSATION
The compensation lead L2 is added to compensate for Hot (L1) and Return (L3), assuming they are all of equal
length and gauge. To compensate for leads RL1 and RL2, a resistor eq ual to the resistance of RL1 or RL2
could be added to the compensation lead, though in many cases this is unnecessary.
d) GROUNDING OF RTDs
2
Grounding of one lead of the RTDs is don e at ei the r the 469 or a t the m otor. Grounding should
both places as it could cause a circulating current to flow. Only RTD Return leads may be grounded.
When grounding at the 469, only one Return lead need be grounded as they are hard-wired together internally.
No error is introduced into the RTD reading by grounding in this manner.
If the RTD Return leads are tied together and g rounded at the motor, only one RTD Return lea d can be run
back to the 469. See the figure bel ow for a wiring example. Runnin g more than one RTD Return lead to the
469 causes significant errors as two or more parallel paths for the return current have been created. Use of this
wiring scheme causes errors in readings equivalent to that in the REDUCED RTD LEAD NUMBER application
described earlier.

2.2.12 OUTPUT RELAYS
There are six Form C o utput relays (see Sectio n 1.2: SPECIFICATIONS on page 1–5 for details). Five of the
six relays are always non-failsafe; R6 Service is always failsafe. As failsafe, the R6 relay is normally energized
and de-energizes when called upon to operate. It also de-energizes when 469 control power is lost and will be
in its operated state. All othe r relays, being non-failsafe, will normally be de-energized and energize when
called upon to op erate. When the 469 cont rol power is lost, the se relays are de-energ ized and in their n on-

operated state. Shor ting bars i n the drawout case e nsure that no trip or alarm occurs when the 46 9 is drawn

Supervision of a break er trip coil r equires that the supervis ion circ uit be in par allel with the R1 TRIP relay
output contacts, as sho wn in Figure 2–10: T YPICAL WIRING DIAGRA M on page 2–8. With th is connection made, the supervision i nput circuits place an imped ance across the contac ts that draws a 2 mA current (for an external supply voltage from 30 to 250 V DC) through the breake r trip coil. The supervis ion
circuits respond t o a loss of this trickle current as a failure conditi on. Circui t breake rs equippe d with st andard control circui ts have a br eake r aux iliary co ntact pe rmit ting the t rip coil to be ene rgiz ed onl y when th e

2.2.14 RS485 COMMUNICATIONS PORTS
Two independent two-wire RS485 ports are pr ovide d. Up to 32 469s can be daisy-chained together on a communication channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must
be added. Commercially available repeaters can also be used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel.
Suitable cable should have a characteristic impedance of 120Ω (e.g. Belden #9841) and total wire length
should not exceed 4000 ft. Co mme rci ally a va ilabl e re pea ters will al low for tra nsm iss ion dis tan ces gr e ater tha n

Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon. For this reason, surge
protection devices are in terna lly ins talled across all RS485 t ermin als. In terna lly, an isolated power supply with
an optocoupled data interface is used to prevent noise coupling.
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-ch ain are at the same potential, it is imp erative that th e

resistor in seri es with a 1 nF capaci tor across the ‘+’ a nd ‘–’ termi nals. Ob serving th ese guide lines prov ides a

2.2.16 DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TESTING
It may be required to test a complete motor starter for dielectric strength (“flash” or “hipot”) with the 469
installed. The 469 is rated for 2000 V DC isolation between relay contacts, CT inputs, VT inputs, trip coil supervision, and the safety gro und termi nal G 12. S om e prec aut ion s a re re qui red to p re ve nt da mag e to th e 46 9 during these tests.
Filter networks and tr ansient p rotection c lamps are used between control power, trip coil supervision , and the
2
filter ground terminal G11. This is intended to fil ter out high voltage transients , radio frequency interference
(RFI), and electromagnet ic interference (EMI). The filter ca pacitors and transient suppresso rs may be damaged by continuous high voltage. Disconnect the filter ground terminal G11 during testing of control power and
trip coil supervision . The CT inputs, VT in puts, and output re lays do not requir e any special pr ecautions. Low
voltage inputs (less than 30 V), RTDs, analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs, and RS485 communication
ports are not to be tested for dielectric strength under any circumstance (see below).

4 SETPOINT PROGRAMMING4.1 OVERVIEW
4 SETPOINT PROGRAMMING 4.1 OVERVIEW4.1.1 TRIPS/ALARMS/BLOCKS DEFINED
The 469 Motor Management Relay has three basic categories of protection elements. They are TRIPS,
ALARMS, and BLOCKS.
a) TRIPS
An 469 trip feature ma y be ass igned to a ny combi nation of t he two Aux iliary rela ys, R2 an d R3, in add ition to
the R1 Trip Relay. If a Trip becomes active, the appropriate LED (indicator) on the 469 faceplate will illuminate
to show which of the output relays has operated. In additio n to the Trip relay(s), a trip will always oper ate the
Block Start relay. Trip features are may be program med as l atched or unlatched. Once a relay has be en oper ated by a latched trip, a reset must be per formed to clear the trip when the cond ition is no longer present. If
there is a lockout time, the Block Start relay will not reset until the lockout time has expired. If an unlatched trip
feature becomes a ctive, that trip will reset itself (and as sociated output rela ys) as soon as the condition that
caused the trip cea ses. Imme diatel y prior to i ssuing a trip , the 46 9 takes a snaps hot of motor parameter s an d
stores them as pre-trip values which will allow for troubleshooting after the trip occurs. The cause of last trip
message is updated with the cu rrent trip and the 469 display defaults to that me ssage. All trip features are
automatically logged and date and time stamped as they occur. In addition, all trips are counted and logged as
statistics such that any long term trends may be identified.
b) ALARMS
An 469 alarm feature may be assi gn ed to op er ate an y c omb ina tio n of thr ee outpu t relay s, R4 Alarm , R3 Au xi liary, and R2 Auxiliary. When an Alarm become s active, the appropriate L ED (indicator) on the 4 69 faceplate
will illuminate whe n an output relay(s) has operated. Each a larm feature may be p rogrammed as latched or
unlatched. Once a la tch ed ala rm fea tur e b ec ome s a ct ive, th e r es et key m ust be pres se d to re se t tha t al ar m. If
the condition that has c aused the alar m is still present (e .g. h ot RTD) the Alarm relay(s ) will n ot reset u ntil th e
condition is no longer present. If on the other hand, an unlatched alarm feature becomes active, that alarm will
reset itself (and associated output relay(s)) as soon as the condition that caused the alarm ceases. As soon as
an alarm occurs, the al arms messages are update d to reflect the alarm and the 469 display defaults t o that
message. Since it may not be desirable to log all alarms as events, each alarm feature may be programmed to
log as an event or not. If an alarm is programmed to log as an event, when it becomes active, it is automatically
logged as a date and time stamped event.
4
c) BLOCK START
An 469 Block Start is a feature that prevents or inhibits the start of the motor based on some logic or algorithm.
An 469 Block Start feature is alway s ass ig ned to th e Block Sta rt relay. In addition to the Trip relay(s), a trip will
always operate Block Start relay. If the condition that has caused the trip is still present (e.g. hot RTD), or there
is a lockout time wh en the Reset key is p ressed, the Block Start relay will not r eset until the condition is no
longer present or the lo ckout time has expired . All blocking fe atures are always unla tched and reset immed iately when conditions that cau sed the block cease. In a ddition to becoming active in conjunction with tr ips, a
block may become acti ve once th e motor stops . There are s everal featur es that op erate as such: S tarts/Hou r,
Time Between Starts, Start Inhibit, Restart Block, and 469 Not Programmed. W hen a block becomes active,
the block messag es are updated to refl ect the block (com plete with lockout tim e if required) and the screen
defaults to that message. Blocks are normally not logged as events. If however, a motor start or start attempt is
detected when a block i s active, it is automatica lly logged as a date an d time stamped event. This scenario
might occur if someone shorts across the block terminals and overrides the 469 protection to start the motor.

4.1 OVERVIEW4 SETPOINT PROGRAMMING
4.1.2 RELAY ASSIGNMENT PRACTICES
There are six output relays . Five of t he relay s are a lways non-fai lsafe , the oth er (Se rvice) i s fails afe and dedicated to enuncia te internal 469 f aults (these fau lts include Setpoi nt Corruption, fai led hardware comp onents,
loss of control power , etc.). One of the output relays is dedicated as the Block Start relay; it is dedicated to features that are intended to block moto r starting. The four remaining relays may be pro grammed for different
types of features depending on what i s required. One of th e relays, R1 TRIP, is intended to be used as the
main trip relay. Another relay, R4 ALARM, is intended to be used as the m ain al arm rel ay. The two relays that
are left, R2 AUXILIARY and R3 AUXILIARY, are intended for special requirements.
When assigning features to R2 and R3, it is a good idea to decide early on what is required since features that
may be assigned may conflict. For example, if R2 AUXILIARY is to be used for upstream trips, it cannot also be
used for the control of a Reduced Voltage Start. Simila rly, if R3 is to be dedicated as a relay to echo all alarm
conditions to a PLC, it cannot also be used strictly to enunciate a specific alarm such as Undercurrent.
In order to ensure that conflicts in relay assignment do not occur, several precautions have been taken. All trips
with the exception of the Short Circuit Backup Trip default to R1 TRIP output relay. All alarms default to the R4
ALARM relay. Only special control function s are defaulted to the R2 and R3 A UXILIARY relays. It is recommended that these assignments be reviewed once all the setpoints have been programmed.

4.4 S3 DIGIT A L INPUTS4.4.1 DESCRIPTION
Setpoints page 3 has been designated the DIGITAL INPUTS page. The 469 has nine digital inputs.
Five of the 469 digital in puts have been pr e-assigned as swi tches having a spe cific function. F our of the five
pre-assigned digital inputs are always functional and do not have any setpoint messages associated with
them. The fifth, Starter Stat us, may be configured for either an 'a' or 'b' auxiliary contact. The remain ing four
digital inputs are as si gna ble ; th at i s to s ay, the function that th e input is used for may be chosen from one of a
number of different functions. Som e of those function s are very sp ecific, other s may be progra mmed to adapt
to the user requirements. If the Two-Speed Motor feature is enabled, ASSIGNABLE INPUT 4 will be dedicated
as the Two-Speed Motor Monitor.

Once the 469 is i n servic e, it m ay be teste d from ti me to time a s part o f a regular mai ntenance sche dule. Th e
relay will have accumulated statistical information relating historically to starter and motor operation. This information includes: last trip da ta, demand data (if the metering feat ures are in use), MWh and Mvarh meter ing,
RTD maximums, the event record , analog input m inimums and m aximums, numbe r of motor trips, nu mber of
trips by type, total motor running hour s, learned parameters, number of starter operations, number of motor
starts, number of eme rgency restarts, and the d igital counter. Shorting the 469 Test input (terminals C 3 and
C4) prevents all of this dat a from be ing corrupted or updated when the relay is und er test. T he In Serv ic e LE D
will flash while the test terminals are shorted.
4.4.4 EMERGENCY RESTART
Shorting terminals D17 a nd D23 discharges the thermal capacity u sed to zero, sets any Starts/Hour Block
lockout to zero, sets any Time Between Starts Blo ck lockout to zero, and rese t all Trips and Alarms so tha t a
hot motor may be restarted. However, a Restart Block lockout will remain active (it may be used as a backspin
timer) and any trip c ond ition that remains (such as a hot RTD) will sti ll c aus e a trip . T her ef ore, wh il e th e te rm inals are shorted, the Trip and Block output relays will remain in their normal non-operated state. In the event of
a real emergency, the Emergency Resta rt terminals should remai n shorted unti l the emerge ncy is over. Also,
while the Emergency Restart terminals are shorted, a Service Alarm message indicates any trips or blocks that
are active. As the name implies, this feature should only be used in an emergency – using it otherwise defeats
the purpose of the relay, namely, protecting the motor. Any Emergency Rest art input transition from o pen to
closed or closed to open is logged as an event.
4.4.5 REMOTE RESET
Shorting terminal s D18 and D23 resets any trips o r la tched alarms provided that the c onditi on tha t caus ed th e
alarm or trip is no longer present.
If there is a lockout time the Block Start relay will not reset until the lockout time has expired.

4.6 S5 THERMAL MODEL4 SETPOINT PROGRAMMING
4.6 S5 THERMAL MODEL4.6.1 MOT OR THERMAL LIMITS
One of the principle e nemies of motor life is heat. When a motor is sp ecified, the purchas er commu nicates t o
the manufacturer what the lo ading conditions an d duty cycle will be, as wel l as, environment and othe r pertinent information abou t the driven load such as starting torque, etc. The manufacturer t hen provides a stock
motor or builds a motor that should have a reasonable life under those conditions.
Motor thermal limits are di ctated by the design of both the st ator and the rotor. Motors have three modes of
operation: locked roto r or stall (when the rotor is not tur ning), acceleration (when the rotor is coming up to
speed), and running (when the rotor turns at near synch ronous speed). Heating occurs in the motor during
each of these condi tions in very distinct way s. Typically, during motor star ting, locked rotor and ac celeration
conditions, the motor is rotor limited. That is to say that the rotor will approach its thermal limit before the stator.
Under locked rotor conditions, voltage is induced in the rotor at line frequency, 50 or 60 Hz. This voltage
causes a current to flow i n the rotor, also at line frequency, and the heat generated (I
effective rotor resistance. At 50 or 60 Hz, the reactance of the rotor cage causes the current to flow at the outer
edges of the rotor bar s. The effective resis tance of the roto r is therefore at a ma ximum during a lo cked rotor
condition as is roto r heat ing. When the motor is running at rat ed spee d, the voltage induced in the rotor is at a
low frequency (approximately 1 Hz) and therefore, the effective resistance of the rotor is reduced quite dramatically. During running overloads, the motor thermal limit is typically dictated by stator parameters. Some special
4
motors might be all stator or all rotor limited. During acceleration, the dynamic nature of the motor slip dictates
that rotor impedance is also dynamic, and a third overload thermal limit characteristic is necessary.
The figure below illust rates typical thermal limit curves. The motor start ing characteristic is s hown for a high
inertia load at 80% volt age. If the moto r started quic ker, the distinct characteristi cs of the thermal limit curves
would not be required and the running overload curve would be joined with locked rotor safe stall times to produce a single overload curve.
2
R) is a function of the
The motor manufacturer should provide a safe stall time or thermal limit curves for any motor they sell. To program the 469 for maxi mum protection, it is necessary to ask for these items when th e motor is out for bid.
These thermal lim its are intended to be used as guidelines and th eir definition is not alw ays precise. When
operation of the motor exceed s the thermal limit, the motor insulation doe s not immediately melt. Rather, the
rate of insulation degrad ation has reached a point tha t motor life will be significantl y reduced if it is run any
longer in that condition.

a) FUNCTION
The overload curve accounts for motor heating during stall, acceleration, and running in both the stator and the
rotor. The
OVERLOAD PICKUP LEVEL
setpoint dictates w here the running overload curve begins a s the motor
enters an overload condition. This is useful for service factor motors as it allows the pickup level to be defined.
The curve is effectively cut off at current values below this pickup.
Motor thermal limi ts consist of th ree distinct par ts based on t he three conditio ns of operatio n: locked rotor or
stall, acceleration , and running overl oad. Each of these c urves may be prov ided for a hot and a col d motor. A
hot motor is defined as one that has been running for a period of time at full load such that the stator and rotor
temperatures have settled at their rated temperature. A cold motor is defined as a motor that has been stopped
for a period of tim e su ch tha t th e s ta tor an d r o tor te mperatures have settled at ambie nt temp er ature. For most
motors, the distin ct character istics of the motor thermal limits are formed into a smooth hom ogeneous c urve.
Sometimes only a safe stall time is provided. This is acceptable if the motor has been designed conservatively
and can easily per form its req uired d uty wi thout i nfringi ng on the th ermal l imit. In this case , the p rotecti on ca n
be conservative and proc es s i nteg rity is not c om pr omi se d. If a moto r h as been designed very close to its thermal limits when operated as required, then the distinct characteristics of the thermal limits become important.
The 469 overload curve can take one of three formats: Standard, Custom Curve, or Voltage Dependent.
Regardless of the sele cted curve style, therm al memory is retained in the
CAPACITY USED
register. This register is updated every 100 ms using the following equation:

The overload protection curve should always be set slightly lower than the thermal limits provided by the manufacturer. this will ensure that the motor is tripped before the thermal limit is reached.
If the motor starting times are wel l within the safe sta ll times, it is r ecommended tha t the 469 Standar d Overload Curve be used . The standard overload curves are a series of 15 curves with a common curve shape
based on typical motor thermal limit curves (see Figure 4–8: 469 STANDARD OVERLOAD CURVES and Table
4–1: 469 STANDARD OVERLOAD CURVE MULTIPLIERS on the following pages).
If the motor starting current begins to infringe on the thermal damage curves, it may become necessary to use
a custom curve to tail or t he mot or prot ection so that s uccess ful s tarting may occu r wit hout c ompromi sing protection. Furthermore, t he charac teristics of th e starting the rmal damage c urve (locked rotor and ac celeration)
and the running thermal damage curves may not fit together very smoothly. In this instance, a custom c urve
may be necessary to tailor motor protection to the motor thermal limits so it may be started successfully and be
utilized to its full pote ntial without com promising protecti on. The distinct p arts of the thermal limit curves no w
become more critical . For these conditions, it is recommended that the 4 69 custom curve thermal m odel be
used. The custom overload curve feature allows the user to program their own curve by entering trip times for
30 pre-determined current levels.
It can be seen in F igure 4 –9: CUS TOM CURVE EXAMP LE on pag e 4–34 that if the run ning o verloa d thermal
limit curve were smoothed into one curve with the locked rotor overload curve, the motor could not start at 80%
line voltage. A custom curve is required.

c) VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD CURVE
If the motor is called upon to drive a high i nertia lo ad, it is quite possibl e and acceptab le that th e accelera tion
time exceeds the safe stall time (bearing in mind that a locked rotor condition is quite different than an acceleration condition). In this in sta nce, ea ch di stinct po rtion of the the rmal limit curv e mus t be kno wn and p rotec tion
must be coordinated against that curve. The relay that is protecting the motor must be able to distinguish
between a locked roto r conditio n, an acc eleratin g conditi on and a run ning con dition. T he 469 Voltage Dependent Overload Curve feature i s tailored to prote ct these types of motors. Voltage is continually monitor ed during motor starting and the acceleration thermal limit curve is adjusted accordingly.
The Voltage Dependent Overload Curve is comprised of the three characteristic shapes of thermal limit curves
as determined by the stall or locked rotor condition , acceleration, and running ove rload. The cur ve is constructed by entering a cus tom curve shape for the running overload protection curve. Next, a point mu st be
entered for the acc eleration protec tion curve at the point of inter section with the c ustom curve, ba sed on the
minimum allowable starting voltage as defined by the minimum allowable line voltage. The locked rotor current
and safe stall time must also be ente red for that voltage. A second point of inte rsection must be entered for
100% line voltage. Once again, the lo cked rotor current and the safe stall time must be enter ed, this time for
100% line voltage. The protection cu rve cre ated from the saf e stall time and intersec tion poi nt will be dynam ic
based on the measured line voltage between the mini mum allowable lin e voltage and the 100% li ne voltage.
This method of pro tection inherently acco unts for the change in motor speed as an impedance relay would.
The change in impedance is reflected by motor termi nal voltage and line c urrent. For any give n speed at any
given line voltage, there is only one value of line current.
EXAMPLE:

To illustrate the Voltage Dependent Overload Curve feature, the thermal limits of Figure 4–10: THERMAL LIMITS FOR HIGH INERTIAL LOAD will be used.
1. Construct a custom curve for the ru nning over load t hermal li mit. If the curve do es not exten d to th e accel-
eration thermal limits, exten d it such that the curve intersects the accelerati on thermal limit curves (see
Figure 4–11: VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD (CUSTOM CURVE) on page 4–37).
2. Enter the per unit current value for the acceleration overload curve intersect with the custom curve for 80%
line voltage. Also enter the per uni t current a nd safe stall protectio n time for 80% line vol tage (see Fig ure
4–12: VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD (ACCELERATION CURVES) on page 4–38).
3. Enter the per unit current value for the a cceleration overload curve intersect with the custom curve for
100% line voltage. Also e nter the per unit cu rrent and saf e stall protecti on time for 100% line volta ge (see
Figure 4–12: VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD (ACCELERATION CURVES) on page 4–38).

Unbalanced phase cur rents als o cau se additio nal ro tor heatin g no t accounte d for by electro mecha nical r elays
and also not accounted for in some electronic protective relays. When the motor is running, the rotor rotates in
the direction of the pos itive-seque nce current at near synchrono us speed. Nega tive-sequenc e current, with a
phase rotation o pposite to positi ve-sequence c urrent (and hence, opposite to the rotor rotation), generates a
rotor voltage that produce s a substantial roto r current. This induce d current has a freque ncy approximatel y 2
times the line frequency: 100 Hz for a 50 Hz syste m or 120 Hz for a 60 Hz s ystem . The skin effect in the rotor
bars at this frequency ca uses a signific ant increase in rot or resistance and t herefore a significan t increase in
rotor heating. This extra heating is not accounted for in the thermal limit curves supplied by the motor manufacturer, as these curves assume only p ositive-sequence current s from a perfectly balanced s upply and motor
design.
The 469 measures t he ratio of negative t o positive-sequence cur rent. The thermal model may be biased to
reflect the additional heating that is caused by negative sequence current when the motor is running. This biasing is accomplished by creati ng an equi valent motor heati ng curren t rather than simply using average cu rrent

The 469 thermal replic a operates as a complete a nd independent model. The thermal overload cur ves however, are based solely on measured current, assuming a normal 40°C ambient and normal motor cooling. If the
ambient temperature is unusually high, or if motor cooling is blocked, the motor temperature will increase. If the
motor stator has embedded RTDs, the 469 RTD bias feature should be used to correct the thermal model.

In simple terms, the RTD bias feature is real feedback of the measured stator temperature. This feedback acts
as correction of the thermal m odel for un foreseen situatio ns. Since RTDs are relativ ely slow to respond, RTD
biasing is good for correction and slow motor heating. The rest of the thermal model is required during starting
and heavy overload conditions when motor heating is relatively fast.
It should be noted that the RTD bias feature alone cannot create a trip. If the RTD bias feature forces the thermal capacity used to 10 0%, the motor current must be above the overload pickup before an overload trip
occurs. Presumably, the motor would trip on stator RTD temperature at that time.

When a motor starts, the starti ng current (ty pically 6 × FLA for an inductio n motor) has an as ymmetri cal com-

current. If the
SHORT CIRCUIT TRIP PICKUP
was set at 1.25 times the symme trical starti ng current, it is probable
that there would be nuis ance trips during motor starting. A rule of thumb has been developed over time that
short circuit protectio n at least 1.6 times the symmetric al starting cur rent value. This allows the motor to start
without nuisance tripping.
The overreach filter remov es the DC compo nent from the asy mmetrical current pres ent at the momen t a fault

If a pump is cooled by the liquid it pumps, loss of load may mean that the pump overheats. In this case, enable
the undercurrent feature. If the motor loading should never fall below 0.75 × FLA, even for short durations, the

not be set too low. Also, since short term u nba lances a re comm on, a r easona ble delay shou ld be s et to avoi d
nuisance trips or ala rms. The unbalance bias feature is recom mended to bias the thermal model for motor
heating caused by cyclic short term unbalances (see Section 4.6.4: UNBALANCE BIAS on page 4–42).
Unusually high unbalance levels may be caused by incorrect phase CT wiring.
NOTE
b) EXAMPLE
Fluctuations of current unbalance levels are typically caused by the supply voltage. It may be desirable to have
a latched alarm to captur e any such fluctu ations that go beyond the Unbal ance A larm par ameters. Also, a trip
is recommended.
If the supply voltage is normally unbalanced up to 2%, the current unbalance seen by a typical motor is 2 × 6 =
12%. In this case, set the
