The values in the table with a blue background are covered by the standard
version (up to 30 g water per m 3 of air).
The values in the table with a light grey background are covered by order
code C19 (30 to 60 g of water per m 3 of air).
The values in the table with a dark grey background are covered by order
code C26 (60 to 100 g of water per m 3 of air).
Please contact your local Siemens office regarding requirements
exceeding 100 g water per m 3 of air
Restarting against residual field and opposite phase
All motors can be reclosed against 100% residual field after a
line voltage failure.
Motor protection
A distinction is made between current-dependent and motortemperature-dependent
protection devices.
Current-dependent protection devices
Fuses are only used to protect mains cables in the event of a
short-circuit. They are not suitable for overload protection of the
motor.
The motors are usually protected by delayed overload protection
devices (circuit-breakers for motor protection or overload relays).
This protection is current-dependent and is particularly effective
in the case of a locked rotor.
For standard duty with short start-up times and starting currents
that are not excessive and for low numbers of switching operations,
motor protection switches provide adequate protection.
Motor protection switches are not suitable for high starting duty
or large numbers of switching operations. Differences in the thermal
time constants for the protection equipment and the motor
results in unnecessary early tripping when the protection switch
is set to rated current.
Protection devices that are motor temperature sensitive
Temperature monitors installed in the motor winding are suitable
protection devices in the case of slowly rising motor temperature.
When a limit temperature is reached, these bimetal switches
(NC contacts) can deactivate an auxiliary circuit. The circuit can
only be reclosed following a considerable fall in temperature.
When the motor current rises quickly (e.g. with a locked rotor),
these switches are not suitable due to their large thermal time
constants.
3 temperature detectors for tripping
Order code A31
The most comprehensive protection against thermal overloading
of the motor is provided by PTC thermistors (thermistor
motor protection) installed in the motor winding. Due to its low
heating capacity and excellent thermal contact with the winding,
the winding temperature can be closely monitored.
When a limit temperature is reached (nominal tripping temperature),
the PTC thermistor undergoes a step change in resistance.
This is evaluated by a tripping unit and can be used to open auxiliary
circuits. The PTC thermistors themselves cannot be subjected
to high currents and voltages. This would result in destruction
of the semiconductor. The switching hysteresis of the
PTC thermistor and tripping unit is low, which supports fast restarting
of the drive. Motors with this type of protection are recommended
for high duty starting, switching duty, extreme
changes in load, high ambient temperatures or fluctuating supply
systems.
Motor protection with PTC thermistors with 3 embedded temperature
sensors for tripping.
In the connection box, 2 auxiliary terminals are required. The
maximum number of auxiliary terminals in the main connection
box of the motor is specified under “Number of auxiliary terminals”
in the section “Motor connection and connection boxes”.
An auxiliary connection box is required when the total number of
auxiliary terminals in the connection box of the motor exceeds
the specified values. For an additional charge, the connections
can be routed through a separate auxiliary connection box
(order code L97, M50 or M88, see “Auxiliary connection box”
in the section “Motor connection and connection boxes”).
