Motor Protection
REM615 ANSI
Product Version 2.0
3. Protection functions
  e REM615 relay o ers all the functionality needed 
to manage motor starts and normal drive operations 
also including protection and fault clearance in 
abnormal situations.    e main features of this motor 
relay include thermal overload protection, motor 
start-up time supervision, locked rotor protection 
and protection against too frequent motor starts.  
Furthermore, the relay o ers negative phase sequence 
current unbalance protection, motor running stall 
protection, loss-of-load supervision, phase-reversal 
protection and a provision to perform a forced 
emergency start.

  e REM615 also incorporates non-directional and 
directional earth-fault protection, backup overcurrent 
protection, three phase undervoltage protection, and 
negative phase sequence overvoltage and positive sequence 
undervoltage protection. {New paragraph} Enhanced with 
optional hardware and so ware, the relay also features three 
light detection channels for arc fault protection of the circuit 
breaker, busbar and cable compartment of metal-enclosed 
indoor switchgear. 
  e arc-fault protection sensor interface is available on the 
optional communication module.  Fast tripping increases 
personal safety and limits material damage within the 
switchgear in an arc fault situation.  Figures 1 through 2 
show the protection functions available for the two standard 
con gurations and their available analog inputs for each 
con guration.  See section 23. Selection and ordering data 
for details on the available analog inputs for each standard 
con guration.
