VAMP 40-1

[ Protection & Control ] motor protection and control from VAMP VAMP 40, VAMP 52, VAMP 230, VAMP 255, VAMP 257 and VAMP 265M CUSTOMER BENEFITS • Complete protection for motors Comprehensive selection of protection functions for asynchronous circuit breaker controlled motors. • Temperature measurement nterface to external VIO 12A RTD input module for twelve Pt, Ni or Cu temperature sensors. The external module enables the sensor connection point to be close to the motor, minimising sensor cable ength. Measurements are transferred to the relay via RS485 or optical interface for the required protection stages, logic or • Ultra-fast arc flash protection VAMP motor protection has an unique integrated arc fault protection functionality for enhanced safety of the motor termination box, switchgear as well as people and other property. This optional arc flash protection module enables the protection relay to become a part of the substation level arc flash protection • Comprehensive measurements Motor control, measurement of electrical quantities, disturbance and event capturing as well as extensive range of industrial protocol interfaces are standard features in VAMP motor protection • Extensive communication Large number of supported communication protocols including Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, TCP/IP, SPA-bus slave, DNP 3.0 VAMP Motor protection relays are used for the selective protection of motor control centres, motor cabling and termination, asynchronous motor and the primary load of the machine Typical applications are low and medium voltage ndustrial processes, power plants, marine and offshore installations. Besides a comprehensive range of standard protection functions the VAMP relays also offers temperature measurement with external RTD input module A unique feature of VAMP relays is the arc flash fault protection system integrated into the relays. The extremely fast arc fault protection option adds a new dimension to the total safety of the installation and the reliability of the motor protection system Further, the VAMP relays incorporate power quality assessment based on fast Fourier transform. Following a network or motor fault, the relays support fault analysis by providing event sequence recordings, fault value registration and disturbance recorder capability. Customer specific configuration is obtained by freely configurable mimic display and logic programming using the easy-to-use VAMPSET software. VAMP products also have a multilingual human machine interface VAMP Protection offers a solution to maximise safety in all applications.
