Introduction
Overview
The MM200 is a motor protection and control system designed specifically for low-voltage
motor applications. The MM200 provides the following key benefits.
• Protection, control, and communication options to suit low-voltage motor
applications.
• Small footprint designed specifically for IEC and NEMA MCC applications.
• DIN rail Mounting.
• Multiple communication protocols allows simple integration into monitoring and
control systems.
• Optional basic control panel interface provides local control and access to system
information.

The exact placement of a zero-sequence CT to detect only ground fault current is shown
below. If the core balance CT is placed over shielded cable, capacitive coupling of phase
current into the cable shield during motor starts may be detected as ground current unless
the shield wire is also passed through the CT window. Twisted-pair cabling on the zero-
sequence CT is recommended.

Thermistor connections
Either a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) or negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistor may be directly connected to the thermistor + and - terminals in slot C. By
specifying the hot and cold thermistor resistance, the MM200 automatically determines
the thermistor type as NTC or PTC. Use thermistors with hot and cold resistance values in
the range 100 to 30000 ohms. If no thermistor is connected, the Thermistor Alarm and
Thermistor Trip settings must be set to “Disabled”.

888745A1.CDR
One two-wire RS485 port is provided. Up to 32 MM200 IEDs can be daisy-chained together
on a communication channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems,
additional serial channels must be added. Commercially available repeaters can also be
used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel. Suitable cable should have a
characteristic impedance of 120 ohms and total wire length should not exceed 1200
meters (4000 ft.). Commercially available repeaters will allow for transmission distances
greater than 1200 meters.
Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon.
For this reason, surge protection devices are internally installed across all RS485 terminals.
Internally, an isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface is used to prevent
noise coupling.
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative
CAUTION:
that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded only
CAUTION
once, at the master or at the MM200. Failure to do so may result in intermittent or
failed communications.
The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices
installed, either internally or externally. Ground the shield at one point only, as shown in the
figure above, to avoid ground loops.
Correct polarity is also essential. The MM200 IEDs must be wired with all the positive (+)
terminals connected together and all the negative (–) terminals connected together. Each
relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or stub connected configurations.
The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 ohm
¼ watt resistor in series with a 1 nF capacitor across the positive and negative terminals.
Observing these guidelines will ensure a reliable communication system immune to
system transients.

The MM200 has three channels for phase current inputs, each with an isolating
transformer. The phase CTs should be chosen so the FLA is not less than 50% of the rated
phase CT primary. Ideally, the phase CT primary should be chosen such that the FLA is
100% of the phase CT primary or slightly less, never more. This will ensure maximum
accuracy for the current measurements. The maximum phase CT primary current is
1000 A.
The MM200 measures up to 8 times the phase current nominal rating. CTs with 1 A or 5 A
secondaries must be used if the FLA is greater than 5 A. The chosen CTs must be capable
of driving the MM200 phase CT burden.
Polarity of the phase CTs is critical for unbalance calculation.

The proper configuration for the use of two CTs rather than three to detect phase current is
shown. Each of the two CTs acts as a current source. The current that comes out of the CT
on phase A flows into the interposing CT on the relay marked CT1. From there, the current
sums with the current that is flowing from the CT on phase C which has just passed
through the interposing CT on the relay marked CT3. This summed current flows through
the interposing CT marked CT2 and from there, the current splits up to return to its
respective source (CT).
Polarity is very important since the value of phase B must be the negative equivalent of
A + C in order for the sum of all the vectors to equate to zero.
Only one ground connection should be made as shown. If two ground connections are
made, a parallel path for current has been created.
In the two CT configuration, the currents will sum vectorially at the common point of the
two CTs. The diagram illustrates the two possible configurations. If one phase is reading
high by a factor of 1.73 on a system that is known to be balanced, simply reverse the
polarity of the leads at one of the two phase CTs (taking care that the CTs are still tied to
ground at some point). Polarity is important.
Change CT wiring only if the system is de-energized!

To illustrate the point further, the following diagram shows how the current in phases A
and C sum up to create phase "B".

888716A1.CDR
Once again, if the polarity of one of the phases is out by 180°, the magnitude of the
resulting vector on a balanced system will be out by a factor of 1.73.
On a three-wire supply, this configuration will always work and unbalance will be detected
properly. In the event of a single phase, there will always be a large unbalance present at
the interposing CTs of the relay. If for example phase A was lost, phase A would read zero
while phase B and C would both read the magnitude of phase C. If on the other hand,
phase B was lost, at the supply, phase A would be 180° out-of-phase with phase C and the
vector addition would equal zero at phase B.

The MM200 contains two Form-A contact output relays, one Form-C contact output relay,
and seven digital inputs.
Contact inputs can be programmed to any of the input functions, such as field stop. The
exception is that contactor A status is fixed as the first contact input, and contactor B
status (where used) is fixed as the second contact input.
The three contact outputs can be programmed to follow any one of the digital signals
developed by the MM200, such as alarms and status signals. The exception is that the
contactor A relay is fixed as the first contact output, and contactor B relay is fixed as the
second contact output (where used).

It may be required to test a complete motor starter for dielectric strength (“flash” or “HI-
POT”) with the MM200 installed. The MM200 is rated for 1.9 kV AC for 1 second, or 1.6 kV AC
for 1 minute (per UL 508) isolation between relay contacts, CT inputs, VT inputs and the
surge ground terminal SG. Some precautions are required to prevent damage to the
MM200 during these tests.
The CT inputs, control power, and output relays do not require any special precautions. Low
voltage inputs (less than 30 volts), RTDs, and RS485 communication ports are not to be
tested for dielectric strength under any circumstance (see above).

When a start control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for the set pre-
contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay contact output 1 closes and
seals-in, picking up contactor M, which starts the motor. When a stop control is received,
relay contact output 1 drops out, contactor M drops out, and the motor stops. The pre-

The full-voltage reversing starter type is a full voltage or across-the-line reversing starter.
When a start A (forward) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for
the set pre-contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay1 picks up and
seals-in, picking up contactor F, which starts the motor in the forward direction. When a
start B (reverse) control is received, relay1 drops out, and contactor F drops out. When the
contactor F Off status is received, the starter waits for the set transfer time to allow the
motor to slow or stop. When the transfer time timer times out, relay2 picks up and seals-in,
picking up contactor R, which starts the motor in the reverse direction. When a stop
control is received, relays 1 and 2 drop out, contactor F and R drop out, and the motor
stops. The starter logic is fully symmetrical between forward and reverse.
When a contact input has its function set to forward limit, and that contact closes, relay1
will drop out, stopping any forward rotation. When a contact input has its function set to
reverse limit, and that contact closes, relay2 will drop out, stopping any reverse rotation.
The pre-contactor is omitted on forced starts (for example, External Start). Forced starts
are not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit must itself
respect fast direction change restrictions.

When a start A (low speed) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up
for the set pre-contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay1 picks up
and seals-in, picking up contactor L, which starts the motor in low speed. When a start B
(high speed) control is received, the relay1 drops out, and contactor L drops out. When
contactor L Off status is received, the relay2 picks up and seals-in, picking up contactor H,
which starts the motor in high speed. Should a start A (low speed) control be received when
relay2 is picked up, relay2 is drops out, and contactor H drops out. When contactor H Off
status is received, the starter waits for the set transfer time to allow the motor to slow.
When the transfer time timer times out, the relay1 picks up and seals-in, picking up
contactor L, which starts the motor in low speed. When a stop control is received, the
relays 1 and 2 drop out, contactors L and H drop out, and the motor stops. If the HIGH
SPEED START BLOCK setting is “Enabled”, this starter will not allow a start B (high speed)
control unless already running at low speed.
The pre-contactor is omitted on forced starts (for example, External Start). Forced starts
are not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit must itself
respect high to low speed transition restrictions and starting in high speed restrictions.

Understanding setpoints
Setpoints can be modified via RS485, using the EnerVista MM200 Setup program.
Setpoints may be changed while the motor is running; however it is not recommended
CAUTION:
Setpoints will remain stored indefinitely in the internal non-volatile memory even when
control power to the unit is removed. Protection parameters are based on the entered
data. This data must be complete and accurate for the given system for reliable protection
and operation of the motor.
Configuration setpoints
The configuration setpoints contains data on motor configuration as well as system setup,
inputs, outputs, communications, and CTs.
• Motor (setpoints related to motor configuration).
• CT (setpoints related to CT configuration).
• Inputs (setpoints related to digital input configuration)
• Outputs (setpoints related to digital output configuration)
• Comms (setpoints related to communications configuration)
• System (setpoints related to MM200 system configuration, such as the faceplate LEDs)
• Counters (setpoints related to the digital counters)
Motor setpoints
The MM200 starter function is responsible for executing the motor startup sequence,
including the pre-contactor start warning. The MM200 provides three pre-defined starters.
• Full-voltage non-reversing
• Full-voltage reversing
• Two-speed
By selecting a pre-defined starter, inputs and outputs are automatically assigned.

Full-voltage non- If the Starter Type setpoint is programmed to “FV Non-Reversing”, the pre-contactor relay
reversing starter (if any) is picked up for the set Pre-Contactor Time when a start control is received. When
the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A relay contact output picks up and seals-
in, starting the motor. When a stop control is received, contactor A relay contact output is
dropped out and the motor stops.

Default: 0 seconds
This setpoint represents the time after a start command before the motor is started. An
audible or other warning signal can be activated in this interval by connecting the signal
to a contact output set to the pre-contactor function.
Full-voltage reversing The full-voltage reversing starter type is a full-voltage or across-the-line reversing starter.
starter When a start A (forward) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for
the set Pre-Contactor Time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A
relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in the forward direction. When a start B
(reverse) control is received, the A contactor is dropped out. When contactor A status off is
received, the starter waits for the set Transfer Time to allow the motor to slow or stop.
When the transfer time timer times out, the contactor B relay picks up and seals-in,
starting the motor in the reverse direction. When a stop control is received, the contactor A
and B relays are dropped out and the motor stops. The starter logic is fully symmetrical
between forward and reverse.
When a contact input has its function set to “Forward Limit”, and that contact closes, the
contactor A relay will drop out. When a contact input has its function set to “Reverse Limit”,
and that contact closes, the contactor B relay will drop out.

This setpoint represents the time between stopping and starting in a new direction for
the reversing starter.
Two-speed starter The “Two Speed” starter type is a full-voltage or across-the-line two speed starter.
When a start A (low speed) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up
for the set Pre-Contactor Time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A
relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in low speed. When a start B (high speed)
control is received, the A contactor is dropped out. When contactor A status Off is received,
the contactor B relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in high speed. Should a start
A (low speed) control be received when the high speed contactor B is picked up, contactor
B is dropped out. When contactor B status Off is received, the starter waits for the set
Transfer Time to allow the motor to slow. When the transfer time timer times out, the
contactor A relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in low speed. When a stop
control is received, the contactor A and B relays are dropped out and the motor stops.
If the High Speed Start Block setpoint is “Enabled”, this starter will not allow a start B (high
speed) control unless already running on contactor A (low speed).
Forced starts are not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit
must itself respect high to low speed transition restrictions and starting in high speed
restrictions.

NOTE
Outputs
Contact outputs are designated by their card slot letter appended with their card terminal
number. Contact outputs, which have two or three terminals, use the first of their terminal
numbers on the GCP. This is the same scheme as is used to form the relay terminal
designation.
When a starter type is selected, the first equipped contact output and the first equipped
contact input are forced to the contactor A relay function and the contactor A status
function, respectively. When the two-speed or reversing starter type is selected, the
second equipped contact output and the second equipped contact input are forced to the
contactor B relay function and the contactor B status function, respectively. Any prior
values for these setpoints are erased, and the setpoint becomes non-editable.
Communications setpoints
The MM200 has one RS485 serial communications port supporting a subset of the Modbus
protocol. An additional DeviceNet or Profibus port is also available as an option.
The following setpoints are available.
Slave Address
Range: 1 to 254 in steps of 1
Default: 254
For RS485 communications, each MM200 IED must have a unique address from 1 to 254.
Address 0 is the broadcast address detected by all IEDs in the serial link. Addresses do
not have to be sequential, but no two units can have the same address or errors will
occur. Generally, each unit added to the link uses the next higher address starting at 1.

System
System security Hardware and passcode security features are designed to restrict user access. This can
deter inappropriate employee action and curtail errors. Security against hackers or others
with malicious intent should be provided by other means. Security for the external hard-
wired and field controls should also be externally provided as required.
Three security levels above the default level are recognized. Each security level can also be
set for passcode access. The passcode is programmed as a five-digit number, using only
digits 1 through 5. The security access levels are:
• Default - start/stop control, auto/manual selection, and reset trips
• Level 1 - default privileges plus setpoint access
• Level 2 - level 1 privileges plus lockout reset and reset counters
• Level 3 - level 2 privileges plus factory page.
Passcodes are automatically canceled after five minutes of inactivity. Communications
passcode access can be cancelled by writing zero to the passcode register.
The following system security setpoints are programmed in the security page.
Passcode Level 1, Passcode Level 2, Passcode Level 3
Range: any five-digit number using digits 1 through 5 only or Disabled
Default value: 11111 (level 1), 22222 (level 2)
Access is granted if a passcode has been correctly entered matching the value of this
setpoint.
Access Switch Level
Range: 1, 2, 3
Default value: 1
Sets the access level provided by the access switch being closed. The contact input for
the access switch is configured on the contact inputs page.
Comms security
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
Sets whether the security feature applies to the communications ports.
System trouble For relay self-test, the MM200 runs a series of self-tests, including data and program
memory integrity and program execution watchdogs. If any of these tests fail, a self-test
trip or alarm is generated depending on the value of the Self Test Action setpoint.
The following setpoints are available for the system trouble element.
Self-Test Action
Range: Trip, Alarm
Default: Trip
This setpoint defines whether a self-test failure will cause a trip or an alarm.
LED indicators These setpoints allow the user to control the display characteristics of the front panel LEDs.
The following setpoints are available.
User 1 LED Assignment, User 2 LED Assignment, User 3 LED Assignment
Range: Any alarm trip control I/O operand
Default: Not Set
This setpoint determines whether the Tripped LED flashes or is steadily illuminated when
there is a trip or lockout condition.
Protection elements
Thermal protection
The primary protective function of the MM200 is the thermal model. The MM200 integrates
stator and rotor heating into a single model. The rate of motor heating is gauged by
measuring the terminal currents. The present value of the accumulated motor heating is
maintained in the Thermal Capacity Used actual value register. When the motor is in
overload, the motor temperature and thermal capacity used will rise. A trip occurs when
the thermal capacity used reaches 100%. When the motor is stopped and is cooling to
ambient, the thermal capacity used decays to zero. If the motor is running normally, the
motor temperature will eventually stabilize at some steady state temperature, and the
thermal capacity used increases or decreases to some corresponding intermediate value,
which accounts for the reduced amount of thermal capacity left to accommodate
transient overloads.
The thermal model consists of four key elements.
• Hot/cold biasing that accounts for normal temperature rise.
• An overload curve that accounts for the rapid heating that occurs during stall,
acceleration, and overload.
• Cooling rate that accounts for heat dissipation.
• Thermal protection reset that controls recovery from thermal trips and lockouts.
Each of these categories are described in the following sub-sections.
Hot/cold biasing When the motor is running with a constant load below the overload level, the motor will
eventually reach a steady state temperature, which corresponds to a particular steady-
state thermal capacity used. As some thermal capacity is used, there is less thermal
capacity left in the motor to cover transient overloads than is available when the motor is
cold. Typically, the extent of this effect is calculated by taking the ratio of the motor's rated
hot safe stall time to its rated cold safe stall time. The safe stall time (also known as locked
rotor time) is the time taken with the rotor not turning for the motor to heat to a
temperature beyond which motor damage occurs at an unacceptable rate. The term 'cold'
refers to starting off with the motor at ambient temperature, while 'hot' refers to starting
off with the motor at the temperature reached when running at rated load. The method
the thermal model uses to account for the pre-overload state is thus known as hot/cold
biasing.
The MM300 calculates the steady-state thermal capacity used according to the following
equation.
TCUSS = Ieq
2
´ (100% - HCR ) Eq. 1
In the above equation:
• TCUSS represents the steady-state thermal capacity used expressed as a percentage.
• Ieq represents the equivalent motor heating current in per-unit values on an FLA base.
Refer to unbalance biasing for additional details.
• HCR represents the value of the Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio setpoint expressed as a
percentage.
If a Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio value of 100% is entered, the hot/cold biasing is defeated,
and unless RTD biasing is deployed, the thermal model will operate as if the motor was
cold prior to overload.
Overload curve The overload curve accounts for the rapid motor heating that occurs during stall,
acceleration, and overload. Specifically, the overload curve controls the rate of increase of
Thermal Capacity Used whenever the equivalent motor heating current is greater than
1.01 times the full load current setpoint. The curve is defined by the following equation and
reflects that overload heating largely swamps the cooling, and this heating is primarily due
to resistive losses in the stator and the rotor windings (said losses being proportional to the
square of the current).

Cooling rate The model causes the thermal capacity used to decrease exponentially when the steady-
state thermal capacity used value is less than the actual thermal capacity used. This
simulates motor cooling. As a stopped motor normally cools significantly slower than a
running motor, the relay has two cooling time constant setpoints, one used when the
motor is off (stopped, tripped, locked out, pre-contactor, etc.), the other used when the
motor is on (starting, running, stopping). In each case, the time constant is time in minutes
for the motor temperature to cool by 63% of the difference between the initial
temperature and ambient temperature.

Thermal protection Thermal model operation is a serious event, and therefore results in a lockout that can not
reset be reset until the motor has cooled, except with a level 2 or level 3 security login. A setpoint
is available that controls whether lockout persists until the motor has cooled until the
thermal capacity used reaches 15% (approximately twice the cool time stopped setpoint),
or until the relay estimates based on learned thermal capacity used on start that the motor
has cooled sufficiently for a successful restart. For the latter, a 2% safety margin is
included. While in lockout, the motor can not be started via the MM200.
If the motor is re-started it may re-trip quickly. Should process interruption concerns
outweigh the probable damage to the motor that early starting would incur, an external
circuit should be added that bypasses the relay to directly close the motor contactor.
A second setpoint controls whether once the motor has cooled as described above, the
lockout is replaced with a trip that can be manually reset without security login, or
alternatively the condition is fully reset allowing immediate restart.
Thermal protection The following setpoints are available for thermal protection.
setpoints Standard Overload Curve
Range: 1 to 15 in steps of 1
Default: 4
This setpoint specifies the standard overload curve to the thermal characteristics of the
protected motor.
Overload Pickup Level
Range: 1.01 to 1.25 X FLA
Default: 4
This setpoint specifies the Overload Pickup Level for the unit to start.
Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio
Range: 1 to 100% in steps of 1
Default: 75%
This setpoint is used to control the hot/cold bias and RTD bias features. It specifies the
ratio of the rated hot safe stall time to the rated cold safe stall time as a percentage. A
value of “100%” disables the hot/cold bias feature.
Mechanical protection
The mechanical protection setpoints are divided into the following categories.
• Mechanical jam
• Undercurrent protection
• Acceleration protection
• Open control circuit trip.
The setpoints applicable to each of these categories are described in the following
sections.
Mechanical jam After the motor has started and reached a running state, the mechanical jam element (if
enabled) produces a trip when the magnitude of Ia, Ib, or Ic reaches or exceeds the pickup
level for the time specified by the Mechanical Jam Delay setpoint. This feature may be
used to indicate a stall condition when running. Not only does it protect the motor by
taking it off-line faster than the thermal model (overload curve), it may also prevent or limit
damage to the driven equipment if motor starting torque persists on jammed or broken
equipment.
The Mechanical Jam Level should be set higher than motor loading during normal
operation, but lower than the motor stall level. Normally the delay is set to the minimum
time delay or to avoid nuisance trips due to momentary load fluctuations.
The following setpoints are available for the mechanical jam element.
Undercurrent When the motor is in the running state, a trip or alarm will occur should the magnitude Ia,
protection Ib, or Ic fall below the pickup level for the time specified by the Undercurrent Alarm or Trip
Delay. The pickup levels should be set lower than the lowest motor loading during normal
operations.
The following setpoints are available for the undercurrent protection element.
Undercurrent Trip Level
Range: 1 to 100% of FLA or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the undercurrent trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
undercurrent trip function.
Undercurrent Trip Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor current must be below pickup to generate
a trip.
Undercurrent Alarm Level
Range: 1 to 100% of FLA or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the undercurrent alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
undercurrent alarm function.
Undercurrent Alarm Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 seconds
This setpoint represents the time that the motor current must be below pickup to
generate an alarm.
For example, if a pump is cooled by the liquid it pumps, loss-of-load may mean that the
pump overheats. In this case, the undercurrent feature is enabled. To prevent motor
loading from falling below 0.75 × FLA, even for short durations, the Undercurrent Trip
Level could be set to “70%” and the Undercurrent Alarm Level to “75%”. The
Undercurrent Trip Delay and Undercurrent Alarm Delay setpoints are typically set as
quick as possible (that is, 1 second).
Acceleration The thermal model protects the motor under both starting and overload conditions. The
protection acceleration timer trip may be used to complement this protection. For example, if the
motor always starts in 2 seconds, but the safe stall time is 8 seconds, there is no point
letting the motor remain in a stall condition for the 7 or 8 seconds it would take for the
thermal model to operate. Furthermore, the starting torque applied to the driven
equipment for that period of time could cause severe damage.
If enabled, the acceleration protection will trip if the motor stays in the starting state and
does not reach the running state by the set acceleration time.
The acceleration protection setpoints and logic are described below.
Acceleration Alarm Timer(s)
Range: 0.5 to 250.0 seconds in steps of 0.1 or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the maximum acceleration time before alarming. A value of “OFF”
disables the acceleration protection alarm.
Acceleration Trip Timer(s)
Range: 0.5 to 250.0 seconds in steps of 0.1 or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the maximum acceleration time before tripping. A value of “OFF”
disables acceleration protection tripping.
Open Control Circuit Trip
Range: Enable, Disable
Set to Enable if the MM200 should trip when an open control circuit is detected.
Electrical protection
Current unbalance When an unbalance or phase current exceeds the setpoints, an alarm or trip condition is
protection generated.
The calculation method is as follows:
|IM - IAV|
If IAV ≥ IFLA : UB% = × 100%
IAV
|IM - IAV|
If IAV ≤ IFLA : UB% = × 100%
IFLA
Where:
IAV = average phase current
IM = current in a phase with maximum deviation from IAV
IFLA = MOTOR FULL LOAD CURRENT setpoint
Current Unbalance Trip Level
Range: 4 to 40%, in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: 30%
This setpoint specifies the current unbalance trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables
the current unbalance trip function.
Current Unbalance Trip Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint specifies the time the motor unbalance current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a trip.
Current Unbalance Alarm Level
Range: 4 to 40%, in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: 15%
This setpoint specifies the current unbalance alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF”
disables the current unbalance alarm function.
Ground fault When motor stator windings become wet or otherwise suffer insulation deterioration, low
protection magnitude leakage currents often precede complete failure and resultant destructive fault
currents. Ground fault protection provides early detection of such leakage current,
allowing the motor to be taken offline in time to limit motor damage. However, if a high
magnitude ground fault occurs that is beyond the capability of the contactor to interrupt,
it is desirable to wait for the fuses or an upstream device to provide the interruption.
The ground fault protection will alarm or trip when the ground current magnitude meets or
exceeds the pickup for the specified time, provided that the maximum phase current is less
than 8 × FLA. When used with a core-balance CT, this protection becomes a sensitive
ground fault protection.
A ground fault trip is a serious event, and therefore results in a lockout that can not be
reset until the motor has cooled except with a level 2 or level 3 security login.
Various situations (for example, contactor bounce) may cause transient ground currents
during motor starting that exceed the ground fault pickup levels for a very short period of
time. The delay can be fine-tuned to an application so it still responds very quickly, but
rides through normal operational disturbances. Normally, the ground fault time delays are
set as short as possible, that is, 0 ms. Time may have to be increased if nuisance tripping
occurs.
Special care must be taken when the ground input is wired to the phase CTs in a residual
connection. When a motor starts, the starting current (typically 6 × FLA for an induction
motor) has an asymmetrical or DC component. This momentary DC component will cause
each of the phase CTs to react differently, and cause a net current into the ground input of
the relay.
The following setpoints are available for the ground fault protection element.
Ground Trip Level
Range: 0.5 to 15.0 A in steps of 0.1 A
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the ground fault trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
ground fault trip function.
Ground Trip Delay on Start
Range: 0.0 to 10.0 s in steps of 0.1 s
Default: 0.0 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault trip when the motor is in a starting condition.
Ground Trip Delay on Run
Range: 0.0 to 5.0 s in steps of 0.1 s
Default: 0.0 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault trip when the motor is in a running condition.
Ground Alarm Level
Range: 0.5 to 15.0 A in steps of 0.1 A, when Ground CT type is set to "CBCT 2000:1"
Default: OFF
The setpoint specifies the ground fault alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
ground fault alarm function.
Load increase alarm The load increase alarm is used to alarm abnormal load increases that may indicate
problems with the process. An alarm is enabled only after the acceleration phase is
complete and the motor has entered the running phase, and then only if the average
current has fallen below the set pickup. Once enabled, the alarm is generated when the
current exceeds the set pickup, and automatically resets when the current has subsided.
The following setpoints are available.
Load Increase Alarm Level
Range: 50 to 150% of FLA in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the load increase alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
load increase alarm.
Control elements
Auto/manual control
The auto/manual control element manages the auto/manual control mode, consolidates
the start A, start B and stop controls from their various sources, and applies auto/manual,
test switch and permissive supervision.
The MM200 has four possible sources of start A, start B and stop controls:
• Communications: Controls received over a serial data link - Modbus, DeviceNet,
Profibus and/or Modbus TCP. Communications controls are not differentiated based
on port or protocol.
• Hard-wired: Controls received typically via contact inputs from a PLC or DCS.
• Field: Controls received typically via contact inputs from pushbuttons or switches
located adjacent to the controlled equipment.
• MCC: controls received from the control panel of the MM200.
Communications and hard-wired controls are considered to be auto controls, and are
inhibited unless auto mode is on. Likewise, field and MCC controls are considered to be
manual controls, and are inhibited unless manual mode is on. Each source may also have
a contact input assigned to permissive supervision, which enables that source when on.
Table 4: Auto/manual control sources
Control source Supervision
Communications Auto Comms permissive
Hard-wired Auto Hard-wired permissive
Field Manual Field permissive
MCC Manual MCC permissive
The MM200 may also be set to always honor stop controls, regardless of auto/manual
mode and permissive supervision (default).
The auto/manual control element also drives a control source active indicator for each
source on the front panel display (if equipped) that shows the user exactly which control
sources have both the correct auto/manual mode on and have their permissive configured
and on.
The auto/manual control element includes non-volatile latches that hold the auto and
manual mode states. Besides supervising controls from the sources, the latches drive auto
and manual indicators on the MM200 control panel. The latches can be controlled either by
an external auto switch contact or by the control panel.
• When configured for Auto/Man switch contact, auto is on when the contact is closed
energizing the input, and manual is on when the contact is open.
• When a switch contact is configured for auto/manual, the front panel auto/manual
pushbuttons are inoperative. When no switch contacts are configured, but the MCC
Auto/Manual Key setpoint is “Enabled”, the control panel auto and manual keys will
switch the mode between auto and manual.
• When no input is configured for auto or manual, and the MCC Auto/Manual Key
setpoint is “Disabled”, both auto and manual modes are set on.
The Auto and Manual modes are temporarily forced to settable states when the test switch
is on.
The following setpoints are available for the auto/manual control element.
Field 2W/3W
Range: 2W, 3W
Default: 3W
Two-wire or three-wire controls selection. If in the two-wire mode, all field start contact
inputs being open will be treated as a field stop control. For reversing and two-speed
starter configurations, both start inputs open is treated as a field stop control.
MCC Start Ctrl
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Enabled
Sets whether start commands are accepted from the control panel.
MCC Stop Mode
Range: Always Enabled, Follow Ctrl Mode
Default: Always Enabled
If set to “Always Enabled”, control panel stops will always be honoured, irrespective of
the MCC Start Ctrl setpoint, auto/manual mode, and permissive. If set to “Follow Ctrl
Mode”, control panel stops will be supervised by auto/manual and by MCC permissive in
the same manner as the starts.
MCC Stop Action
Range: Stop, Trip
Default: Stop
Defines whether MCC control trips (reset required to clear) or stops (no reset required).
Test Auto Mode
Range: On, Off, Unaffected
Default: Off
Sets whether, when the test switch is on, the auto mode is forced on, forced off, or is
unaffected.
Test Manual Mode
Range: On, Off, Unaffected
Default: On
When the test switch is on, this setpoint determines if the manual mode is forced on,
forced off, or is unaffected.
The traditional algorithm would detect the start (if it is fast enough), but may or may not
detect the running state that follows. Even if it does detect the running state, as it is an
atypical start, the learned values such as learned acceleration time would be corrupted.
The MM200 employs an improved starting and running state detection algorithm.
Normally, it declares starting when either contactor A or contactor B closes. Running is
declared when either contactor has been closed for one second, and then current is found
to be below 1 × FLA. This provides equivalent functionality to the traditional algorithm..
If an A or B motor contactor is externally energized, the relay will treat this as a start A or B
control, and display an External Start A Alarm or an External Start B Alarm message.
The stop/start control element also consolidates the various start and stop signals for the
convenience of other elements.
The following setpoint is available:
External Stop Action
Range: Stop, Trip
Default: Stop
This setpoints selects whether an external stop is considered to be an emergency stop
(reset required to clear) or a stop control (no reset required).
If the mains voltage does not return within this period of time, the above motors remain
disconnected and a “Trip – Power Failure” fault is generated. Once the mains voltage has
returned, the trip will be maintained until a reset command is received.
Restart Time Delay
Range: 0 to 300 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 0.0 s
After the mains voltage returns, this setting defines the time delay before the motor is
restarted.
This function restarts the motor based on the stages of the startup sequence provided by

Chapter 5: Diagnostics
Diagnostics
The diagnostics pages display typical diagnostic information, including learned data,
phasors, system counters, and system information. In the event of a trip or alarm, the
diagnostic pages are often very helpful in diagnosing the cause of the condition.
Digital counters
Trip counters are typically used for scheduling inspections on equipment, for performing
qualitative analysis of system problems, and for spotting trends. Several general counters
are also available.
When the relay is powered off, the counter values are stored in non-volatile memory.
NOTE:
NOTE Total Number of Trips, Incomplete Sequence Trips, Overload Trips, Mechanical Jam
Trips, Undercurrent Trips, Current Unbalance Trips, Ground Fault Trips, Motor
Acceleration Trips.
Range: 0 to 65535 trips in steps of 1
These values display a breakdown of number of trips by type. When the total number of
trips for any counter exceeds 65535, that counter is reset to 0.
Number of Motor Starts
Range: 0 to 65535 starts in steps of 1
This value displays the number of accumulated motor starts or start attempts. This value
may be useful information when troubleshooting a motor failure. When this counter
exceeds 65535 starts, it will reset to 0.
Motor Running Hours
Range: 0 to 100000 hours in steps of 1
The motor running hours timer accumulates the total running time for the motor. This
value may be useful for scheduling routine maintenance. Counter will roll over to zero
after range is exceeded.
Motor Stopped Hours
Range: 0 to 100000 hours in steps of 1
The motor stopped hours timer accumulates the total stopped time for the motor. This
value may be useful for scheduling routine maintenance.
Learned data
The MM200 learns the acceleration time, the starting current, the starting capacity, and
the average motor load during motor starts. This data is accumulated based on the last
five successful starts.
Learned Acceleration Time
Range: 0.0 to 200.0 ms in steps of 0.1 s
If motor load during starting is relatively consistent, the learned acceleration time may
be used to fine tune the acceleration protection. Learned acceleration time will be the
greatest time of the last five successful starts. The time is measured from the transition
of motor current from zero to greater than overload pickup, until line current falls below
the overload pickup level.
Learned Starting Current
Range: 0.0 to 10000.0 A in steps of 0.1 A
The learned starting current is measured 200 ms after the transition of motor current
from zero to greater than overload pickup. This should ensure that the measured current
is symmetrical. The value displayed is the average of the last five successful starts. If
there are less than five starts, a value of 0 seconds will be averaged in for the full five
starts.
Learned Starting Capacity
Range: 0 to 100% in steps of 1
The learned starting capacity is used to determine if there is enough thermal capacity to
permit a start. If there is not enough thermal capacity available for a start, a start inhibit
will be issued. Starting will be blocked until there is sufficient thermal capacity available.
