1.1 Introduction
The SIMPRO-100 Motor Protection Relay is
designed to protect three-phase, medium voltage
motors. The basic relay provides locked rotor,
overload, unbalance, and short-circuit protection
functions. You can select options that add
voltage-based and RTD-based protection and
monitoring capabilities. All relay models offer
innovative monitoring functions, such as:
• Motor Start Reports and Motor Start Trend
Data
• Load Profiling
• Motor Operating Statistics
• Event Reports and Summaries and a
Sequential Events Record (SER)
• Complete Suite of Accurate Metering
Functions
