MP-3000
The MP-3000 is an advanced microprocessor-based motor protection
relay that is easy to set up and use. It monitors, controls, and protects
motors against overload, thermal damage to rotor or stator, electrical
faults, and excessive starting, and many process equipment failures.
Advanced algorithms and thermal models give safe operation over a
wide range of conditions.
The MP-3000 protects 50 or 60 Hz three-phase motors of any size
or voltage level. It can protect induction or synchronous motors, with
or without RTDs. The relay is frequently installed in motor starters or
switchgear.
The MP-3000 Motor Protection Relay provides the following pro-
tection, alarm, and control functions. ANSI device numbers are in
parentheses.

Intel-I-Trip I2t Overload Protection (49/51)
Locked-rotor protection (49S/51)

The MP-3000 Motor Protection Relay serves as a direct replacement
for the prior generation Westinghouse
®
or Cutler-Hammer IQ 1000 II.
The cutout and mounting are compatible. The relay terminal congu-
ration and wiring connections are similar.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The MP-3000 Motor Protection Relay incorporates the eld proven
motor thermal models and sequence component measurement
techniques that were pioneered in the IQ 1000 II relay thermal models.
The MP-3000 also adds several enhancements. Signicant enhance-
ments and features include:
1. Recognized to meet UL 1053 Standards for Ground Fault Protec-
tion Devices.
2. Power supply operates continuously at 55% of nominal supply
voltage. It can ride through a voltage sag or loss for 30 cycles
without dropping out and taking the motor off line.
3. Optional Quick Release Drawout Case that makes removal and
replacement fast and easy.
4. New Armed/Disarmed feature for trip-free installation with Quick
Release Drawout Case.
5. User selectable trip or alarm only on relay internal failure detec-
tion.
6. Real-time clock for date and time stamping of trips, alarms, and
events (Y2K compliant).
7. Expanded memory for extensive recording and logging of events,
trips, alarms, history, and motor starting current proles.
8. Motor starting prole plot versus protection limits.
9. Easy-to-use faceplate and user interface. Settings and data are
organized into pages under six main modes. The modes are
Default (motor state), Monitor, View Setting, History, Logs, and
Program (change settings).
10. Intel-I-Trip Intelligent Overload Protection with adaptive trip char-
acteristics based on RTD readings and motor operating history.
11. RTD diagnostics and communications error checking for addi-
tional security against operation from RTD failures.
12. Mechanical Process Load Shedding feature provides overload
indication to control upstream processes, averting unnecessary
motor overload shutdown or jam trips, and maintaining process
continuity.
