Protection and Control
The 239 is a digital motor protection system
designed for three phase AC motors and
associated mechanical equipment .
Advanced protection features include:
Thermal Overload
This function calculates the thermal
capacity used by the motor during
different stages of the motor operation.
The value is updated based on the time-
current overload characteristics and the
motor overload lockout time setpoints.
Motor Starting
During acceleration, the motor is protected
by an I2t overcurrent curve which passes
through the setpoints "Locked Rotor
Current" and cold "Safe Stall Time." The
running overload curve is not active during
acceleration, therefore providing starting
protection independent of running
protection.

Separate start and run modeling provides opti-
mum rotor and stator protection.
Motor Running
To protect the motor against overloads
while it is running, select one of 15 different
curves to accurately match the motor
overload characteristic. Curves automati-
cally adjust for hot motor compensation to
ensure correct thermal modeling. For
some non-typical applications, the relay
can be ordered (MOD 506) with
additional custom programmable overload
curves, allowing the user to construct the
precise curve that matches the thermal
characteristics of the protected motor.
A user-programmable overload lockout
time controls the motor cooling rate. If the
process criteria require shorter cooling
periods, particularly for small motors, a
different time can be used.
www.GEMultilin.com
The minimum level of thermal capacity
that the relay will calculate under normal
operation will be determined by the
Hot/Cold stall time ratio, which distinguishes
between cold and hot motor conditions. An
Auto Reset feature resets the overload trip
once the thermal capacity has decreased
to 15% or less.
An immediate overload alarm alerts the
operator. This may be useful for systems
that do not normally experience overloads.
An immediate overload pickup setpoint is
also available. The relay can also be order
MOD 505, which allow the relay to learn the
thermal capacity used during successful
starts.

Hot Motor
This function utilizes thermal capacity used
(TCU) value to initiate a hot motor alarm
when the TCU is approaching the motor
thermal limit (100% TCU).
Immediate Overload Alarm
This function is used to alarm on a motor
overload condition that requires an
immediate intervention to eliminate the
cause of the sudden overload.
Phase Short Circuit
Complete protection from phase-to- phase
and phase-to-ground faults is provided.
This function can trip or activate an
auxiliary relay either instantaneously or
delayed by up to 60 seconds.
239 Motor Protection System
Mechanical Jam
This function is used to prevent a motor
damage at abnormal operational conditions
such as too long acceleration time and
stalled rotor. Quick motor shut down can
reduce damage to gears, bearings, and
other mechanical parts associated with
the drive combination. The current surge
that will appear as a result of such
condition will cause the mechanical jam
function to become active. The user may
set the pickup level, the trip time delay and
an alarm for early warning.
Undercurrent
This function is typically used to protect
pumps from loss of suction, fans from loss 9
of airflow due to a closed damper, or
conveyor systems from a broken belt. This
function can be used as an alarm or as a
trip, or disabled if not required.
Alternatively this feature can be used as a
pre-overload warning by setting the
undercurrent pickup above the normal
operating current but below the rated full
load current.
Single-Phase (Unbalance)
Current unbalance is another significant
contributor to motor overheating. The
unbalance protection function has an

rely dedicated to trip all the breakers
feeding a fault, when the breaker protected
by the 239 fail to clear it in the first place.
Ground Fault Protection
Aging and thermal cycling can cause the
stator insulation to break down, resulting
in ground faults. Ground faults can also
occur in motors because of environmental
conditions such as moisture or conductive
dust. The 239 can trigger a trip or an alarm
if the ground pickup level is exceeded. A
time delay may be entered for time coordi-
nation of systems with several levels of
ground fault detection.
There are two taps for ground current
inputs available in the relay, which support
two methods of ground current detection:

Q Core balance (Zero sequence) current
transformers with 50:0.025 A current
ratio for sensitive current detection.
When the residual connection of the phase
CTs is used to detect ground currents,
nuisance trips can occur during start due
to unequal saturation of CTs. This may
cause Zero sequence currents to appear, of
sufficient magnitude to reach the pick up
setting of the Ground Fault protection
function. To avoid this, the 239 has two
independent time delay settings, one for
motor starting, and one for motor running.
