5.7.2 Overload Alarm<br />

be increased if nuisance tripping occurs.<br />

CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS<br />

When a motor starts, the starting current (typically 6 × FLA for an induction motor) has an<br />

asymmetrical component. This asymmetrical current may cause one phase to see as<br />

much as 1.6 times the normal RMS starting current. If the SHORT CIRCUIT TRIP PICKUP was<br />

set at 1.25 times the symmetrical starting current, it is probable that there would be<br />

nuisance trips during motor starting. A rule of thumb has been developed over time that<br />

short circuit protection at least 1.6 times the symmetrical starting current value. This<br />

allows the motor to start without nuisance tripping.<br />

The overreach filter removes the DC component from the asymmetrical current present at<br />

the moment of fault. This eliminates overreach; however, the response time slows slightly<br />

(10 to 15 ms) but remains within specification.<br />

If enabled as “Latched” or “Unlatched”, the Overload Alarm functions as follows. After a<br />

motor start, when the equivalent motor heating current exceeds the OVERLOAD PICKUP<br />

LEVEL, an alarm will occur. If programmed as “Unlatched”, the overload alarm resets itself<br />

when the motor is no longer in overload. If programmed as “Latched”, the RESET key must<br />

be pressed to reset the alarm once the overload condition is gone. Event recording for all<br />

alarm features is optional.<br />

For example, it may be desirable to have an unlatched alarm connected to a PLC that is<br />

controlling the load on a motor.<br />
