Motor Protection and Control Relay
The MPS-3000 provides a comprehensive motor protection and control package. It is a new generation of microprocessor-based relay / controller designed to operate with a three-phase induction motors. Monitoring 3-phase currents and voltage together with 10 RTD/Thermistor temperature inputs it provides an ideal solution for Medium Voltage Motors.
True RMS voltages and currents are measured at a sampling rate of 0.5 ms, enables the MPS3000 to be used with electronic motor drives like soft starters.
Protection Features
AC motors are very rugged and reliable when operating within product specification limits. They are usually designed to operate close to their rated limits with minimal margins for operating under abnormal conditions. A comprehensive protection device is required to accurately create a Thermal Modelling in order to allow the motor run safely up to its limits.
This relay protects the motor from abnormal conditions in the mains voltage, motor and cabling faults as well as operator malfunctions.
The MPS3000 monitors three-phase voltages, three-phase + ground fault currents, temperature inputs from up to 10 sensors, four analogue inputs and four programmable Discrete (Optically isolated logical) inputs.
The MPS3000 Incorporates Two Main Features:
- Motor protection.
- Supervision and communication.
The MPS-3000 Advantages:
- Monitors 10 temperature inputs
- Monitors 3-phase current voltage
- Power Measurement
- Certified Protection for ANSI/IEE C37.2
- MODBUS communication, remote parameter programming,
control and supervision
The MPS-3000 is also available as a motor controller
The MPS3000-C incorporates additional 16 discrete digital inputs as well as incorporating four programmable analogue outputs and four programmable output change-over relays.
One or more relays can be configured as Trip and / or Alarm.
All Inputs & Outputs are Combined to Provide the Most Comprehensive Protection Package.
- Voltage base protections
- Current base protections
- Voltage/Current based protections
- Temperature based protection
- General based protection
- Analog Inputs based protection
- Two levels for most faults
Protection levels and time delay settings are individually configured using the keypad on the front panel or through communication.
Unique Tripping / Alarm options make it possible to program any fault as an Alarm, Trip, both or none. This unique facility also enables controlled fault and to reset possibilities an authorized key extends the reset possibilities. A unique calculated TIME TO TRIP feature allows the operator or host computer to take corrective actions before tripping.
