Electronic over current relays

Presentation
109487

LR97 D and LT47 electronic over current relays have been developed to satisfy machine
protection requirements.
These relays have definite time characteristics: current threshold and time based function.
They are particularly recommended for providing mechanical protection on machines with high
resistive torque, high inertia and with strong probability of jamming under steady state conditions.
They can be used for motor protection in the case of long starting times or frequent starting.
The LR97 D relay also incorporates two fixed time protection functions, one of 0.5 seconds
against locked rotor and one of 3 seconds against phase failure.
LR97 D and LT47 can be used to provide mechanical shock protection. In this case, setting the
O-Time knob to minimum will ensure tripping in 0.3 seconds.

Applications
LR97 D and LT47 relays are particularly suitable for the following machines:
b Monitoring function for excessively long starting time on machines with a risk of difficult
starting:
v Machines with high resistive torque, high inertia machines.
b Monitoring of machines during steady state operation: overtorque detection function
v Machines with strong risk of jamming, machines with torque build-up over time,
v Mechanical failure monitoring,
v Faster detection of malfunctioning on machines where the motor is oversized in relation to its
thermal protection It.
b Motor protection for specific applications:
v Machines with long starting times,
v Machines with high on-load factor: more than 30 to 50 starts/hour,
v Machine with fluctuating load from a steady state, where the thermal image of a thermal
overload relay (thermal memory) is unsuitable in relation to actual overheating of the motor.
Examples of machines:
v Conveyors, crushers and mixers,
v Fans, pumps and compressors,
v Centrifuges and spin-dryers,
v Presses, shearing machines, saws, broaching machines, sanders and lifting hoists.

Operation
Because of their two separate time settings, LR97 D and LT47 relays can be combined with the
motor-starter function:
D-Time: starting time, O-Time: trip time during steady state.
The D-Time function is only available during the motor starting phase. During this phase the
overload detection function is inhibited in order to allow starting. Under steady state conditions,
when the motor current is greater than the setting current due to an overload or single-phasing,
the red LED lights up and the internal relay switches its contact after a time preset by the O-Time
knob.
The red LED stays on, indicating that the relay has tripped.

LT47 60ppp

The relays are simple to set, in 5 easy steps:

- Adjust the 3 knobs to maximum (Load, D-Time and O-Time),
- Adjust the D-Time knob to the value corresponding to the motor starting time.
- When the motor reaches steady state, adjust the Load knob (turn the knob counter-clockwise
until the red LED starts to flicker).
- Slowly turn the Load knob clockwise until the LED goes out.
- Set the required tripping time, using the O-Time knob.
