Manual: Motor Protection with ATEX-Certification
5 Setting example
The following paragraph presents an example for setting the motor protection func-
tions which are used for thermal supervision. Special consideration is given to the set-
ting of the following functions:
Rotor block protection
Motor start protection
Thermal overload protection
Number of starts protection
The setting of the unbalanced load protection function, which is needed for the super-
vision of the asymmetrical operating conditions, has been described in the previous
paragraph.
In the following figure an example of the FUPLA – configuration of the function blocks
for motor protection - Block Rotor, Motor Start, Number of Start Supervision and
Thermal overload - are shown.
