Figure E.1 Motor Thermal Limit Characteristic Plotted With
Motor Starting Current.
Figure E.1 shows a typical motor thermal limit characteristic plotted with the
motor starting current. Some motor protection applications use an inverse-time phase
overcurrent element to provide locked rotor and overload protection along with a
separate negative-sequence overcurrent monitor to prevent overheating due to current
unbalance. Unfortunately, neither of these elements accounts for the motor thermal
history or track temperature excursions. The SEL-701-1 Monitor thermal element, with
its integrated design, offers distinct advantages over the use of discrete elements.
The SEL-701-1 Monitor thermal element always operates in one of two modes:
starting or running. In starting mode, the thermal element provides locked rotor
protection, allowing the motor to absorb the high energy of the I

t threshold
represented by the rated locked rotor current and time. In running mode, the thermal
element provides overload and unbalance protection by limiting the motor heat energy
estimate to a value represented by the service factor and two other motor parameters.
