SPM Synchronous Motor Protection System This feature trips the motor when field current drops below the programmed setpoint after the motor has synchronized. To utilize this feature a DCCT and Field Current Calibration Module must be ordered with the SPM. Reduced Voltage Starting An important motor protection function is preventing squirrel cage winding overheating during motor starting. For brushless motors squirrel cage protection is derived from stator current inputs. Protection characteristics are shown in the following graph and the thermal limit is defined by the Stall Time and Locked...

SPM Synchronous Motor Protection System The Incomplete Sequence protection will issue a trip if the SPM detects that the motor has not reached synchronous speed within the programmable time delay. Exciter DC Voltage Protection Exciter voltage protection is available by connecting the exciter output to the SPM terminals VE+ and VE- through a voltage divider network (VDN). This is used on equipment where the exciters are energized prior to motor startup. Field Winding Overtemperature Option This function emulates a resistance temperature device (RTD) on the field windings. As the ratio of...

SPM Synchronous Motor Protection System Field Voltage Input: closes when the motor reaches full voltage during a reduced inrush start. Control Power: The SPM has an AC power supply with a range from 85 to 265 VAC. If control voltage excursions occur outside this range, an external stabilizing ansformer should be used in conjunction with optional separate power factor reference voltage inputs. The induced field voltages VF+ and VF- are monitored through their connection to the external discharge resistor via the VDN, providing instantaneous value of motor slip. Exciter Voltage Input: The VE+...
