Working Principle The relay continuously monitors motor electrical parameters including three-phase currents, voltages, and ground current. RTD sensors embedded in the motor windings provide temperature data. The internal microprocessor executes a sophisticated thermal model that calculates motor heating based on current magnitude, unbalance, and ambient temperature. The thermal model accounts for motor cooling time constants and previous operating history. When any monitored parameter exceeds programmed thresholds, the relay initiates appropriate protective actions ranging from alarms to trip commands. The relay also captures waveform data during fault events for post-event analysis.
