Figure 4.4 Ground Fault Protection Using Core-Balance CT
When a core balance CT is not available, use the 50G residual overcurrent
elements. Set the residual overcurrent trip level (50G1P) between one-half and
one-fifth of the full load phase current and set the residual overcurrent trip
delay (50G1D) equal to 0.2 seconds. Set the warn level more sensitively, but
with a longer time delay. The long time delay allows the sensitive warn
element to ride through the false residual current that can be caused by phase
CT saturation during motor starting.
Load Jam Elements
Load jam protection is available only when the relay detects that the motor is
in the RUNNING state. During a load jam condition, the motor stalls and the
phase current rises to near the locked rotor value. When load jam tripping is
enabled and the phase current exceeds the jam trip level setting (LJTPU) for
longer than the time delay setting (LJTDLY), the relay trips (see
Figure 4.5 ).
Set the jam trip level greater than the expected normal load current but less
than the rated locked rotor current. This setting is entered in per unit of the full
load amps (FLA) setting.

NOTE:
Phase CT ratios are typically
higher than core balance (CB) CT
ratios. For this reason, the relay
sensitivity to motor ground faults is
less when the residual overcurrent
element is used instead of the CB
element. A separate ground fault
detection method should be used if a
CB CT is not available in applications
where resistance grounding reduces
the available ground fault current.
