Figure 350. Protection, Thermal, Resistance Temperature Detector (49RTD-1) Screen
Set the 49RTD-2 protection element as shown in Figure 351 to protect the motor bearings. The maximum
bearing temperature of 95
°C is supplied in the motor manufacturer data. Voting is set to 1, which provides
a sensitive bearing overtemperature trip. Only one RTD must be 95
°C or higher to result in a trip.

Protection - Current
Five instantaneous overcurrent elements, one current differential element, and one instantaneous
undercurrent element are used in this settings example.
Instantaneous Overcurrent (50-1) - Short-Circuit Protection
The 50-1 protection element is used to protect the motor stator windings for a short circuit. The pickup is
set as low as possible without causing a trip to occur during motor starting. The pickup setting is derived
using a dc offset of 1.7, 125 percent of LRA, and a BE1-11m pickup tolerance of 2 percent. Reference the
secondary FLA (Equation 38) and LRA (Max Locked Rotor Current) of 600% per motor manufacturer
data. See Equation 43.

Equation 43. 50-1 Pickup
Select three-phase mode and set the Pickup setting to 71.77 A as shown in Figure 352.
