INDEX
The 369 Motor Management Relay is a digital relay that provides protection and monitoring for three phase motors and
1
their associated mechanical systems. A unique feature of the 369 is its ability to ‘learn’ individual motor parameters and to
adapt itself to each application. Values such as motor inrush current, cooling rates and acceleration time may be used to
improve the 369’s protective capabilities.
The 369 offers optimum motor protection where other relays cannot, by using the FlexCurve™ custom overload curve, or
one of the fifteen standard curves.
The 369 has one RS232 front panel port and three RS485 rear ports. The Modbus RTU protocol is standard to all ports.
Setpoints can be entered via the front keypad or by using the enerVista 369 Setup software and a computer. Status, actual
values and troubleshooting information are also available via the front panel display or via communications.
As an option, the 369 can individually monitor up to 12 RTDs. These can be from the stator, bearings, ambient or driven
equipment. The type of RTD used is software selectable. Optionally available as an accessory is the remote RTD module
which can be linked to the 369 via a fibre optic or RS485 connection.
The optional metering package provides VT inputs for voltage and power elements. It also provides metering of V, kW, kvar,
kVA, PF, Hz, and MWhrs. Three additional user configurable analog outputs are included with this option along with one
analog output included as part of the base unit.
The Back-Spin Detection (B) option enables the 369 to detect the flow reversal of a pump motor and enable timely and safe
motor restarting. 369 options are available when ordering the relay or as upgrades to the relay in the field. Field upgrades
are via an option enabling passcode available from GE Multilin, which is unique to each relay and option.

The 369 can be connected to cover a broad range of applications and wiring will vary depending upon the user’s protection
scheme. This section will cover most of the typical 369 interconnections.
In this section, the terminals have been logically grouped together for explanatory purposes. A typical wiring diagram for
the 369 is shown above in Figure 3–4: Typical Wiring on page 3–6 and the terminal arrangement has been detailed in Fig-
ure 3–3: TERMINAL LAYOUT on page 3–5. For further information on applications not covered here, refer to Chapter 7:
Applications or contact the factory for further information.
Hazard may result if the product is not used for intended purposes. This equipment can only be serviced
by trained personnel.
WARNING
The 369 has a built-in switchmode supply. It can operate with either AC or DC voltage applied to it.
Extensive filtering and transient protection has been incorporated into the 369 to ensure reliable operation in harsh indus-
trial environments. Transient energy is removed from the relay and conducted to ground via the ground terminal. This termi-
nal must be connected to the cubicle ground bus using a 10 AWG wire or a ground braid. Do not daisy-chain grounds with
other relays or devices. Each should have its own connection to the ground bus.
The internal supply is protected via a 3.15 A slo-blo fuse that is accessible for replacement. If it must be replaced ensure
that it is replaced with a fuse of equal size (see FUSE on page 2–4).
The 369 requires one CT for each of the three motor phase currents to be input into the relay. There are no internal ground
connections for the CT inputs. Refer to Chapter 7: Applications for information on two CT connections.
The phase CTs should be chosen such that the FLA of the motor being protected is no less than 50% of the rated CT pri-
mary. Ideally, to ensure maximum accuracy and resolution, the CTs should be chosen such that the FLA is 100% of CT pri-
mary or slightly less. The maximum CT primary is 5000 A.
The 369 will measure 0.05 to 20 × CT primary rated current. The CTs chosen must be capable of driving the 369 burden
(see specifications) during normal and fault conditions to ensure correct operation. See Section 7.4: CT Specification and
Selection on page 7–7 for information on calculating total burden and CT rating.
For the correct operation of many protective elements, the phase sequence and CT polarity is critical. Ensure that the con-
vention illustrated in Figure 3–4: Typical Wiring on page 3–6 is followed.
The 369 has an isolating transformer with separate 1 A, 5 A, and sensitive HGF (50:0.025) ground terminals. Only one
ground terminal type can be used at a time. There are no internal ground connections on the ground current inputs.
The maximum ground CT primary for the 1 A and 5 A taps is 5000 A. Alternatively the sensitive ground input, 50:0.025, can
be used to detect ground current on high resistance grounded systems.
The ground CT connection can either be a zero sequence (core balance) installation or a residual connection. Note that
only 1 A and 5 A secondary CTs may be used for the residual connection. A typical residual connection is illustrated in
below. The zero-sequence connection is shown in the typical wiring diagram. The zero-sequence connection is recom-
mended. Unequal saturation of CTs, CT mismatch, size and location of motor, resistance of the power system, motor core
saturation density, etc. may cause false readings in the residually connected ground fault circuit.

CONNECTION
B
840710B1.CDR
Figure 3–5: TYPICAL RESIDUAL CONNECTION
The exact placement of a zero sequence CT to properly detect ground fault current is shown below. If the CT is placed over
a 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 rec-
ommended.
The 369 has three channels for AC voltage inputs each with an internal isolating transformer. There are no internal fuses or
ground connections on these inputs. The maximum VT ratio is 240:1. These inputs are only enabled when the metering
option (M) is ordered.
The 369 accepts either open delta or wye connected VTs (see the figure below). The voltage channels are connected wye
internally, which means that the jumper shown on the delta connection between the phase B input and the VT neutral termi-
nals must be installed.
Polarity and phase sequence for the VTs is critical for correct power and rotation measurement and should be verified
before starting the motor. As long as the polarity markings on the primary and secondary windings of the VT are aligned,
there is no phase shift. The markings can be aligned on either side of the VT. VTs are typically mounted upstream of the
motor breaker or contactor. Typically, a 1 A fuse is used to protect the voltage inputs.

The Backspin voltage input is only operational if the optional backspin detection (B) feature has been purchased for the
relay. This input allows the 369 to sense whether the motor is spinning after the primary power has been removed (breaker
or contactor opened).
These inputs must be supplied by a separate VT mounted downstream (motor side) of the breaker or contactor. The correct

The 369 can monitor up to 12 RTD inputs for Stator, Bearing, Ambient, or Other temperature applications. The type of each
RTD is field programmable as: 100 Ω Platinum (DIN 43760), 100 Ω Nickel, 120 Ω Nickel, or 10 Ω Copper. RTDs must be
the three wire type. There are no provisions for the connection of thermistors.
The 369 RTD circuitry compensates for lead resistance, provided that each of the three leads is the same length. Lead
resistance should not exceed 25 Ω per lead for platinum and nickel type RTDs or 3 Ω per lead for Copper type RTDs.
Shielded cable should be used to prevent noise pickup in industrial environments. RTD cables should be kept close to
grounded metal casings and avoid areas of high electromagnetic or radio interference. RTD leads should not be run adja-
cent to or in the same conduit as high current carrying wires.
The shield connection terminal of the RTD is grounded in the 369 and should not be connected to ground at the motor or
anywhere else to prevent noise pickup from circulating currents.
3 If 10 Ω Copper RTDs are used special care should be taken to keep the lead resistance as low as possible to maintain
accurate readings.

DO NOT CONNECT LIVE CIRCUITS TO THE 369 DIGITAL INPUTS. THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR DRY CON-
TACT CONNECTIONS ONLY.
CAUTION
Other than the ACCESS switch input the other 5 digital inputs are programmable. These programmable digital inputs have
default settings to match the functions of the 269Plus switch inputs (differential, speed, emergency restart, remote reset
and spare). However in addition to their default settings they can also be programmed for use as generic inputs to set up
trips and alarms or for monitoring purposes based on external contact inputs.
A twisted pair of wires should be used for digital input connections.
The 369 provides 1 analog current output channel as part of the base unit and 3 additional analog outputs with the metering
option (M). These outputs are field programmable to a full-scale range of either 0 to 1 mA (into a maximum 2.4 kΩ imped-
ance) and 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA (into a maximum 600 Ω impedance).
As shown in the typical wiring diagram (Figure 3–4: Typical Wiring on page 3–6), these outputs share one common return.
Polarity of these outputs must be observed for proper operation.
Shielded cable should be used for connections, with only one end of the shield grounded, to minimize noise effects. The
analog output circuitry is isolated. Transorbs limit this isolation to ±36 V with respect to the 369 safety ground.
If an analog voltage output is required, a burden resistor must be connected across the input of the SCADA or measuring
device (see the figure below). Ignoring the input impedance of the input,

The 369 display can be separated and mounted remotely up to 15 feet away from the main relay. No separate source of
control power is required for the display module. A 15 feet standard shielded network cable is used to make the connection
between the display module and the main relay. A recommended and tested cable is available from GE Multilin. The cable
should be wired as far away as possible from high current or voltage carrying cables or other sources of electrical noise.
In addition the display module must be grounded if mounted remotely. A ground screw is provided on the back of the dis-
play module to facilitate this. A 12 AWG wire is recommended and should be connected to the same ground bus as the
main relay unit.
The 369 relay will still function and protect the motor without the display connected.
The 369 provides four (4) form C output relays. They are labeled Trip, Aux 1, Aux 2, and Alarm. Each relay has normally
open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts and can switch up to 8 A at either 250 V AC or 30 V DC with a resistive load.
The NO or NC state is determined by the ‘no power’ state of the relay outputs.
All four output relays may be programmed for fail-safe or non-fail-safe operation. When in fail-safe mode, output relay acti-
vation or a loss of control power will cause the contacts to go to their power down state.
For example:
• A fail-safe NO contact closes when the 369 is powered up (if no prior unreset trip conditions) and will open when acti-
vated (tripped) or when the 369 loses control power.
• A non-fail-safe NO contact remains open when the 369 is powered up (unless a prior unreset trip condition) and will
3 close only when activated (tripped). If control power is lost while the output relay is activated (NO contacts closed) the
NO contacts will open.
Thus, in order to cause a trip on loss of control power to the 369, the Trip relay should be programmed as fail-safe. See the
figure below for typical wiring of contactors and breakers for fail-safe and non-fail-safe operation. Output relays remain
latched after activation if the fault condition persists or the protection element has been programmed as latched. This
means that once this relay has been activated it remains in the active state until the 369 is manually reset.
The Trip relay cannot be reset if a timed lockout is in effect. Lockout time will be adhered to regardless of whether control
power is present or not. The relay contacts may be reset if motor conditions allow, by pressing the RESET key, using the
REMOTE RESET switch or via communications. The Emergency Restart feature overrides all features to reset the 369.
The rear of the 369 relay shows output relay contacts in their power down state.
In locations where system voltage disturbances cause voltage levels to dip below the control power range
listed in specifications, any relay contact programmed as fail-safe may change state. Therefore, in any

application where the ‘process’ is more critical than the motor, it is recommended that the trip relay con-
tacts be programmed as non-fail-safe. If, however, the motor is more critical than the ‘process’ then pro-
gram the trip contacts as fail-safe.

Three independent two-wire RS485 ports are provided. If option (F), the fiber optic port, is installed and used, the COMM 3
RS485 port may not be used. The RS485 ports are isolated as a group.
Up to 32 369s (or other devices) can be daisy-chained together on a single serial communication channel without exceed-
ing the driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. Commercially available repeaters
may also be used to increase the number of relays on a single channel to a maximum of 254. Note that there may only be
one master device per serial communication link.
Connections should be made using shielded twisted pair cables (typically 24 AWG). Suitable cables should have a charac-
teristic impedance of 120 Ω (e.g. Belden #9841) and total wire length should not exceed 4000 ft. Commercially available
repeaters can be used to extend transmission distances.
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. The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protec-
3
tion devices installed, either internally or externally, to ensure maximum reliability.
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative that the common ter-
minals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded in one location only, at the master. Failure to
do so may result in intermittent or failed communications.
CAUTION
Correct polarity is also essential. 369 relays must be wired with all ‘+’ terminals connected together, and all ‘–’
terminals connected together. Each relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or stub connected configura-
tions. The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 Ω ¼ watt resistor in series with a 1 nF
capacitor across the ‘+’ and ‘–’ terminals. Observing these guidelines will result in a reliable communication system that is
immune to system transients.
The optional remote RTD module is designed to be mounted near the motor. This eliminates the need for multiple RTD
cables to run back from the motor which may be in a remote location to the switchgear. Although the module is internally
shielded to minimize noise pickup and interference, it should be mounted away from high current conductors or sources of
strong magnetic fields.
The remote RTD module physical dimensions and mounting (drill diagram) are shown below. Mounting hardware (bolts and
washers) and instructions are provided with the module.

This port is intended for connection to a portable PC. Setpoint files may be created at any location and downloaded through
this port using the enerVista 369 Setup software. Local interrogation of Setpoints and Actual Values is also possible. New
firmware may be downloaded to the 369 flash memory through this port. Upgrading of the relay firmware does not require a
hardware EPROM change.
4.1.4 KEYPAD
The 369 messages are organized into pages under the main headings, Setpoints and Actual Values. The [SETPOINTS]
key is used to navigate through the page headers of the programmable parameters. The [ACTUAL VALUES] key is used to
navigate through the page headers of the measured parameters.
Each page is broken down further into logical subgroups of messages. The [PAGE] up and down keys may be used to nav-
igate through the subgroups.
• [SETPOINTS]: This key may be used to navigate through the page headers of the programmable parameters. Alter-
nately, one can press this key followed by using the Page Up / Page Down keys.
• [ACTUAL VALUES]: This key is used to navigate through the page headers of the measured parameters. Alternately,
one can scroll through the pages by pressing the Actual Values key followed by using the Page Up / Page Down keys.
• [PAGE]: The Page Up/ Page Down keys may be used to scroll through page headers for both Setpoints and Actual
Values.
• [LINE]: Once the required page is found, the Line Up/ Line Down keys may be used to scroll through the sub-headings.
• [VALUE]: The Value Up and Value Down keys are used to scroll through variables in the Setpoint programming mode.
It will increment and decrement numerical Setpoint values, or alter yes/no options.
4 • [RESET]: The reset key may be used to reset a trip or latched alarm, provided it has been activated by selecting the
local reset.
• [ENTER] The key is dual purpose. It is used to enter the subgroups or store altered setpoint values.
• [CLEAR] The key is also dual purpose. It may be used to exit the subgroups or to return an altered setpoint to its origi-
nal value before it has been stored.
• [HELP]: The help key may be pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages; such as the Setpoint range,
etc.
To enter setpoints, select the desired page header. Then press the [LINE UP] / [LINE DOWN] keys to scroll through the
page and find the desired subgroup. Once the desired subgroup is found, press the [VALUE UP] / [VALUE DOWN] keys to
adjust the setpoints. Press the [ENTER] key to save the setpoint or the [CLEAR] key to revert back to the old setpoint.
In order to store any setpoints, Terminals 57 and 58 (access terminals) must be shorted (a key switch may be used for
security). There is also a Setpoint Passcode feature that may be enabled to restrict access to setpoints. The passcode
must be entered to allow the changing of setpoint values. A passcode of 0 effectively turns off the passcode feature and
only the access jumper is required for changing setpoints.
If no key is pressed for 30 minutes, access to setpoint values will be restricted until the passcode is entered again. To pre-
vent setpoint access before the 30 minutes expires, the unit may be turned off and back on, the access jumper may be
removed, or the SETPOINT ACCESS setpoint may be changed to Restricted. The passcode cannot be entered until termi-
nals 57 and 58 (access terminals) are shorted.
Setpoint changes take effect immediately, even when motor is running. It is not recommended, however, to change set-
points while the motor is running as any mistake could cause a nuisance trip.
Refer to Section 5.2.1: Setpoint Access on page 5–4 for a detailed description of the setpoint access procedure.

a) OVERVIEW
The enerVista 369 Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
• In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
• Directly modifying relay settings while connected to a communicating relay, then saving the settings when complete.
• Creating/editing settings files while connected to a communicating relay, then saving them to the relay when complete.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following categories of relay settings:
• Device Definition
• Product Setup
• System Setup
• Grouped Elements
• Control Elements
• Inputs/Outputs
• Testing
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The enerVista 369 Setup software displays relay setpoints with the same hierarchy as the front panel display. For specific
details on setpoints, refer to Chapter 5.
The enerVista 369 Setup window, setpoint files are accessed in the Settings List control bar window or the Files Window.

ing the Print Device Information option.
To upgrade the 369 firmware, follow the procedures listed in this section. Upon successful completion of this procedure, the
369 will have new firmware installed with the original setpoints.
The latest firmware files are available from the GE Multilin website at http://www.GEindustrial.com/multilin.
Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current 369 settings to a file on your PC. After the firmware has
been upgraded, it will be necessary to load this file back into the 369.
Refer to Downloading and Saving Setpoints Files on page 4–10 for details on saving relay setpoints to a file.
Loading new firmware into the 369 flash memory is accomplished as follows:
1. Connect the relay to the local PC and save the setpoints to a file as shown in Downloading and Saving Setpoints Files
on page 4–10.
2. Select the Communications > Update Firmware menu item. 4
3. The following warning message will appear. Select Yes to proceed or No the cancel the process. Do not proceed
unless you have saved the current setpoints.

firmware filename has the following format:
5. The enerVista 369 Setup software automatically lists all filenames beginning with ‘53’. Select the appropriate file and
click OK to continue.
6. The software will prompt with another Upload Firmware Warning window. This will be the final chance to cancel the
firmware upgrade before the flash memory is erased. Click Yes to continue or No to cancel the upgrade.
7. The enerVista 369 Setup software now prepares the 369 to receive the new firmware file. The 369 will display a mes-
sage indicating that it is in Upload Mode. While the file is being loaded into the 369, a status box appears indicating
how much of the new firmware file has been transferred and how much is remaining, as well as the upgrade status.
The entire transfer process takes approximately five minutes.
8. The enerVista 369 Setup software will notify the user when the 369 has finished loading the file. Carefully read any dis-
played messages and click OK to return the main screen.
Cycling power to the relay is highly recommended after a firmware upgrade.
NOTE
After successfully updating the 369 firmware, the relay will not be in service and will require setpoint programming. To com-
municate with the relay, the following settings will have to me manually programmed.
SLAVE ADDRESS
BAUD RATE
PARITY (if applicable)
When communications is established, the saved setpoints must be reloaded back into the relay. See Loading Setpoints
from a File on page 4–14 for details.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default values,
min/max values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firmware.
The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified. The EEPROM
DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test message intended to
inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This message does not signal any
problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.
While the interface is in either on-line or off-line mode, data generated by triggered specified parameters can be viewed and
analyzed via one of the following features:
• Event Recorder: The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 128 events, listed in chronolog-
ical order from most recent to the oldest.
• Oscillography: The oscillography waveform traces and digital states provide a visual display of power system and
relay operation data captured during specific triggered events.
4.6.2 TRENDING
Trending from the 369 is accomplished via enerVista 369 Setup. Many different parameters can be trended and graphed at
sampling periods from 1 second up to 1 hour. The parameters which can be trended by enerVista 369 Setup are:
• Currents/Voltages: phase currents A/B/C; average phase current; motor load; current unbalance; ground current; and
voltages Vab, Vbc, Vca Van, Vbn and Vcn
• Power: power factor; real power (kW); reactive power (kvar); Apparent Power (kVA); positive watthours; positive var-
hours; and negative varhours
• Temperature: Hottest Stator RTD; RTDs 1 through 12; and RRTDs 1 through 12 4
• Other: thermal capacity used and system frequency
1. To use the Trending function, run the enerVista 369 Setup software and establish communications with a connected
369 unit. Select the Actual > Trending menu item to open the Trending window.
2. Program the parameters to display by selecting them from the pull down menus.
3. Select the Sample Rate and select RUN to begin the trending sampling.
4. The trended values can be printed using Print Trending Graph button.
5. The Trending File Setup button can be used to write the graph data to a file in a standard spreadsheet format. Ensure
that the Write Trended Data to File box is checked, and that the Sample Rate is at a minimum of 5 seconds. Set the
file capacity limit to the amount of memory available for trended data.
The enerVista 369 Setup software can be used to capture waveforms (or view trace memory) from the 369 relay at the
instance of a trip. A maximum of 16 cycles can be captured and the trigger point can be adjusted to anywhere within the set
cycles. The last three waveform events are viewable.
The following waveforms can be captured:
• Phase A, B, and C currents (Ia, Ib, and Ic)
• Ground and current (Ig)
• Phase A-N, B-N, and C-N voltages (Van, Vbn, and Vcn) if wye-connected
4 Phase A-B and C-B (Vab and Vcb) if open-delta connected
• Digital data for output relays and contact input states.

cause the current to lead the voltage by 45°, the 369 relay will display such angle as 315° Lag instead of 45° Lead.
When the currents and voltages measured by the relay are zero, the angles displayed by the relay and
those shown by the enerVista 369 Setup software are not fixed values.
WARNING
The 369 event recorder can be viewed through the enerVista 369 Setup software. The event recorder stores generator and
system information each time an event occurs (e.g. breaker failure). Although the 369 currently supports 250 event records,
the enerVista 369 Setup software will only allow retrieval of the latest 200 events. Event 200 is the most recent event and
Event 001 is the oldest event. Event 001 is overwritten whenever a new event occurs. Refer to Event Records on page 6–
16 for additional information on the event recorder.
Use the following procedure to view the event recorder with enerVista 369 Setup:
1. With enerVista 369 Setup running and communications established, select the Actual > A5 Event Recorder item from
the main menu. This displays the Event Recorder window indicating the list of recorded events, with the most current
event displayed first.
2. To view detailed information for a given event and the system information at the moment of the event occurrence,
change the event number on the Select Event box.
The enerVista 369 Setup software provides a means to program the 369 User Map (Modbus addresses 0180h to 01FCh).
Refer to User Definable Memory Map Area on page 9–12 for additional information on the User Map.
1. Select a connected device in enerVista 369 Setup.
2. Select the Setpoint > User Map menu item to open the following window.
3. The above window allows the desired addresses to be written to User Map locations. The User Map values that corre-
spond to these addresses are then displayed.
You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters. From the main window menu bar,

If no keys are pressed for the time defined by the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT, the 369 automatically displays a series of
default messages. This time can be modified to ensure messages remain on the screen long enough during programming
or reading of actual values. Each default message remains on the screen for the default message cycle time.
The contrast of the LCD display can be changed for different lighting conditions. If the display is unreadable (dark or light)
press the [HELP] key for 2 seconds. This will put the relay in manual contrast adjustment mode. Use the value up or down
keys to adjust the contrast level. Press the [ENTER] key when complete.
Flash messages are status, warning, error or information messages displayed for several seconds in response to certain
key presses during setpoint programming. These messages override any normal messages. The duration of a flash mes-
sage on the display can be changed to accommodate different reading rates.
Temperatures may be displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. RTD setpoints are programmed in Celsius only.
The energy units for watthours and varhours can be viewed in either “Mega” (MWh or Mvarh) or “Kilo” (kWh or kvarh) units.
Both registers accumulate energy regardless of the preference set.

The 369 is equipped with four independent serial ports. The RS232 port is for local use and responds regardless of the pro-
5 grammed slave address; the rear RS485 communication ports are addressed. If an RRTD module is used in conjunction
with the 369, channel 3 must be used for communication between the two devices and the CHANNEL 3 APPLICATION set-
point must be set to “RRTD” (note that the corresponding RRTD setting must be set to “Modbus”). A fiber optic port (option
F) may be ordered for channel 3. If the channel 3 fiber optic port is used, the channel 3 RS485 connection is disabled.
The RS232 port may be connected to a personal computer running enerVista 369 Setup. This may be used for download-
ing and uploading setpoints files, viewing actual values, and upgrading the 369 firmware. See Section 4.2: enerVista 369
Setup Interface on page 4–3 for details on using enerVista 369 Setup.
The RS485 ports support a subset of the Modbus RTU protocol. Each port must have a unique address between 1 and
254. Address 0 is the broadcast address listened to by all relays. Addresses need not be sequential; however, no two
devices can have the same address. Generally, each addition to the link uses the next higher address, starting at 1. A max-
imum of 32 devices can be daisy-chained and connected to a DCS, PLC, or PC using the RS485 ports. A repeater may be
used to allow more than 32 relays on a single link.
The Profibus-DP protocol is supported with the optional Profibus protocol interface (option P). The bus address as Profi-
bus-DP node is set with the PROFIBUS ADDRESS setpoint, with an address range from 1 to 126. Address 126 is used only
for commissioning purposes and should not be used to exchange user data. The RESET PROFIBUS COMMS INTERFACE
setpoint command resets the Profibus module. This allows the Profibus module to be reset if the Profibus module stops
communicating with the Profibus master, without having to shut down the motor and cycle power to the relay.
The Modbus/TCP protocol is also supported with the optional Modbus/TCP protocol interface (option E). For more informa-
tion, refer to Section 9.1.3: Modbus Communications on page 9–1.
The time/date stamp is used to track events for diagnostic purposes. The date and time are preset but may be changed
manually. A battery backed internal clock runs continuously even when power is off. It has the same accuracy as an elec-
tronic watch approximately ±1 minute per month. It may be periodically corrected either manually through the keypad or via
the clock update command over the serial link using enerVista 369 Setup.
Enter the current date using two digits for the month and day, and four digits for the year. For example, enter July 15, 2004
as “07 15 2004". If entered from the keypad, the new date takes effect the moment [ENTER] is pressed. Set the time by 5
using two digits for the hour (in 24 hour time), minutes, and seconds. If entered from the keypad, the new time takes effect
the moment the [ENTER] key is pressed.
If the serial communication link is used, then all the relays can keep time in synchronization with each other. A new clock
time is pre-loaded into the memory map via the communications port by a remote computer to each relay connected on the
communications channel. The computer broadcasts (address 0) a “set clock” command to all relays. Then all relays in the
system begin timing at the exact same instant. There can be up to 100 ms of delay in receiving serial commands so the
clock time in each relay is ±100 ms, ± the absolute clock accuracy, in the PLC or PC (see Chapter 9: Communications for
information on programming the time and synchronizing commands.)
Waveform capture records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as contextual information at the point
of trigger. These records are triggered by trip functions, digital input set to capture or via the enerVista 369 Setup software.
Multiple waveforms are captured simultaneously for each record: Ia, Ib, Ic, Ig, Va, Vb, and Vc.
The trigger position is programmable as a percent of the total buffer size (e.g. 10%, 50%, etc.). The trigger position deter-
mines the number of pre- and post-fault cycles to divide the record. The relay sampling rate is 16 samples per cycle.
Five 40-character message screens can be programmed. These messages may be notes that pertain to the 369 installa-
tion. This can be useful for reminding operators of certain tasks.
The 369 displays a series of default messages. These default messages appear after the value for the DEFAULT MESSAGE
CYCLE TIME expires and there are no active trips, alarms or start inhibits. See Section 5.2.2: Display Preferences on page
5–4 for details on setting time delays and message durations. The default messages can be selected from the list above
including the five user definable messages from the message scratchpad.

The system setup setpoints are critical to the operation of the 369 protective and metering features and elements. Most
protective elements are based on the information input for the CT/VT Setup and Output Relay Setup. Additional monitoring
alarms and control functions of the relay are also set here.
• PHASE CT PRIMARY: Enter the phase CT primary here. The phase CT secondary (1 A or 5A) is determined by termi-
nal connection to the 369. The phase CT should be chosen such that the motor FLA is between 50% and 100% of the
phase CT primary. Ideally the motor FLA should be as close to 100% of phase CT primary as possible, never more.
The phase CT class or type should also be chosen such that the CT can handle the maximum potential fault current
with the attached burden without having its output saturate. Information on how to determine this if required is available
in Section 7.4: CT Specification and Selection on page 7–7.
• MOTOR FLA: The motor FLA (full load amps or full load current) must be entered. This value may be taken from the
motor nameplate or motor data sheets.
• GROUND CT TYPE and GROUND CT PRIMARY: The GROUND CT TYPE and GROUND CT PRIMARY (if 5 A or 1 A
secondary) must be entered here. For high resistance grounded systems, sensitive ground detection is possible with
the 50:0.025 CT. On solidly or low resistance grounded systems where fault current can be quite high, a 1 A or 5 A CT
should be used for either zero-sequence (core balance) or residual ground sensing. If a residual connection is used
with the phase CTs, the phase CT primary must also be entered for the ground CT primary. As with the phase CTs the
type of ground CT should be chosen to handle all potential fault levels without saturating.
• VT CONNECTION TYPE, VT RATIO, and MOTOR RATED VOLTAGE: These voltage related setpoints are visible
only if the 369 has metering installed.
The manner in which the voltage transformers are connected must be entered here or none if VTs are not used. The
VT turns ratio must be chosen such that the secondary voltage of the VTs is between 1 and 240 V when the primary is
at motor nameplate voltage. All voltage protection features are programmed as a percent of motor nameplate or rated
voltage which represents the rated motor design voltage line to line.
For example: If the motor nameplate voltage is 4160 V and the VTs are 4160/120 open-delta, program VT CONNEC-
TION TYPE to “Open Delta”, VT RATIO to “34.67:1”, and MOTOR RATED VOLTAGE to “4160 V”.

When the Trip Counter is enabled and the alarm pickup level is reached, an alarm will occur. To reset the alarm the trip
counter must be cleared (see Section 5.2.9: Clear/Preset Data on page 5–9 for details) or the pickup level increased and
the reset key pressed (if a latched alarm).
The trip counter alarm can be used to monitor and alarm when a predefined number of trips occur. This would then prompt
the operator or supervisor to investigate the causes of the trips that have occurred. Details of individual trip counters can be
found in the Motor Statistics section of Actual Values page 4 (see Section 6.5.2: Motor Statistics on page 6–14).
c) STARTER FAILURE
PATH: S2 SYSTEM SETUP "" MONITORING SETUP "" STARTER FAILURE
If the Starter Failure alarm feature is enabled, any time the 369 initiates a trip, the 369 will monitor the Starter Status input (if
assigned to “Spare Switch” in S9 DIGITAL INPUTS) and the motor current. If the starter status contacts do not change state
or motor current does not drop to zero after the programmed time delay, an alarm will occur. The time delay should be
slightly longer than the breaker or contactor operating time. In the event that an alarm does occur, and Breaker was chosen
as the starter type, the alarm will be Breaker Failure. If on the other hand, Contactor was chosen for starter type, the alarm
will be Welded Contactor.
d) DEMAND
PATH: S2 SYSTEM SETUP "" MONITORING SETUP """ CURRENT DEMAND
5 LIMIT: 100 kW
The 369 can measure the demand of the motor for several parameters (current, kW, kvar, kVA). The demand values may
be of interest for energy management programs where processes may be altered or scheduled to reduce overall demand
on a feeder. An alarm will occur if the limit of any of the enabled demand elements is reached.
Demand is calculated in the following manner. Every minute, an average magnitude is calculated for current, +kW, +kvar,
and kVA based on samples taken every 5 seconds. These values are stored in a FIFO (First In, First Out buffer). The size
of the buffer is determined by the period selected for the setpoint. The average value of the buffer contents is calculated
and stored as the new demand value every minute. Demand for real and reactive power is only positive quantities (+kW
and +kvar).

The TRIP OPERATION, AUX1 OPERATION, AUX2 OPERATION, and ALARM OPERATION setpoints allow the choice of relay
output operation to fail-safe or non-failsafe. Relay latchcode however, is defined individually for each protective element.
Failsafe operation causes the output relay to be energized in its normal state and de-energized when activated by a protec-
tion element. A failsafe relay will also change state (if not already activated by a protection element) when control power is
removed from the 369. Conversely a non-failsafe relay is de-energized in its normal non-activated state and will not change
state when control power is removed from the 369 (if not already activated by a protection element).
The choice of failsafe or non-failsafe operation is usually determined by the motor’s application. In situations where the pro-
5 cess is more critical than the motor, non-failsafe operation is typically programmed. In situations where the motor is more
critical than the process, failsafe operation is programmed.

The 369 is capable of controlling the transition of a reduced voltage starter from reduced to full voltage. That transition may
be based on “Current Only”, “Current and Timer”, or “Current or Timer” (whichever comes first). When the 369 measures
the transition of no motor current to some value of motor current, a 'Start' is assumed to be occurring (typically current will
rise quickly to a value in excess of FLA, e.g. 3 × FLA). At this point, the REDUCED VOLTAGE START TIMER will be initialized
with the programmed value in seconds.
• If "Current Only" is selected, when the motor current falls below the programmed Transition Level, transition will be ini-
tiated by activating the assigned output relay for 1 second. If the timer expires before that transition is initiated, an
Incomplete Sequence Trip will occur activating the assigned trip relay(s).
• If "Current or Timer" is selected, when the motor current falls below the programmed Transition Level, transition will be
initiated by activating the assigned output relay for 1 second. If the timer expires before that transition is initiated, the
transition will be initiated regardless.
• If “Current and Timer” is selected, when the motor current falls below the programmed Transition Level and the timer
expires, transition will be initiated by activating the assigned output relay for 1 second. If the timer expires before cur-
rent falls below the Transition Level, an Incomplete Sequence Trip will occur activating the assigned trip relay(s).

The 369 can be configured to automatically restart the motor after it tripped on system or process related disturbances,
such as an undervoltage or an overload. This feature is useful in remote unmanned pumping applications. Before using
autorestart, the feature must be enabled, the required restart time after a trip programmed, and an output contact config-
ured to initiate the autorestart by closing the circuit breaker or contactor. This output contact can also be wired with OR logic
in the start circuit of the motor.
To prevent the possibility of closing onto a fault upon autorestarting, this feature is not allowed for all trips. The 369 never
attempts an autorestart after Short Circuit or Ground Fault trips. Furthermore, only one autorestart is attempted after an
Overload trip, provided that Single Shot Restart is enabled, which allows a single restart attempt. The thermal capacity is
cleared to prevent another overload trip during this start and if the 369 trips again (second time) on Overload the autore-
starting is aborted. Any normal manual starting will probably be inhibited, (lockout time) allowing the motor to cool (thermal
capacity to decay) before permitting another start.
The trip relay should reset before closing the auto-restart contact to allow the breaker or contactor to close. This is done by
programming S2 SYSTEM SETUP !" OUPUT RELAY SETUP !" TRIP RESET MODE to “Remote Only” or “All Resets”. The
close contact selection is enabled by setting the S2 SYSTEM SETUP !" CONTROL FUNCTIONS !" SERIAL COMMUNICA-
TION CONTROL !" SERIAL COMMUNICATION CONTROL setpoint to “On” and selecting the desired output contact.
The 369 follows the logic shown in Figure 5–5: AUTORESTART LOGIC on page 5–21 to determine restart conditions. The
total autorestart delay comprises the sum of three delays: Restart Delay, Progressive Delay, and Hold Delay. If any of these
are not required, the autorestart delay can be set to zero.
Total Delay = Restart Delay + (auto-restarts number × Progressive Delay) + Hold Delay
The Restart Delay controls the basic auto-restart time and the timer start when the motor tripped. The Progressive Delay
increases each consecutive auto-restart delay with its set amount. For example, assume that Restart Delay, Progressive
Delay, and Hold Delay are 1, 3, and 0 seconds respectively. Therefore the fifth autorestart waiting time is:
1 sec. + 5th auto-restart × 3 sec. + 0 sec. = 1 sec. + 5 x 3 sec. = 16 sec.
The number of autorestarts is limited by the TOTAL RESTARTS setting to a maximum of 65000. Once this is exceeded, the
369 blocks further autorestarts until it is reset, either manually or remotely. This limit does not affect normal starting. Please
note that 65000 autorestarts implies the motor has been tripped that many times and inspection or maintenance is probably
due. The vendor's suggested number of circuit breaker or contactor operations before maintenance can affect this setting.
The Hold Delay sequentially staggers auto-restarts for multiple motors on a bus. For example, if four motors on a bus have
settings of 60, 120, 180, and 240 seconds, respectively, it is advantageous, after a common fault that trips all four motors,
to autorestart at 60 second intervals to minimize voltage sag and overloading
The presence of healthy bus voltage prior to the auto-restart can be verified by enabling the Bus Valid feature. The BUS
VALID LEVEL setting is the voltage level below which autorestart is not to be attempted. The 369 checks the BUS VALID
LEVEL just before the autorestart to allow the bus voltage to recover. This setpoint is only available if the Metering Option
(M) or Backspin Option (B) is enabled.
Five different types of "Autorestart Aborted" events have been provided to help in troubleshooting. The following flowchart
shows the logic flow of the Autorestart algorithm. Each type of Autorestart Aborted event and where it occurs within the
logic flow is indicated in this diagram. For example, if an "Autorestart Aborted1" event is recorded in the event recorder, the
logic diagram immediately indicates that the abort cause was the number of restart attempts being more than the MAXIMUM
NUMBER OF RESTARTS setpoint.

Heat is one of the principle enemies of motor life. When a motor is specified, the purchaser communicates to the manufac-
turer what the loading conditions, duty cycle, environment and pertinent information about the driven load such as starting
torque. The manufacturer then provides a stock motor or builds a motor that should have a reasonable life under those con-
ditions. The purchaser should request all safe stall, acceleration and running thermal limits for all motors they receive in
order to effectively program the 369.
Motor thermal limits are dictated by the design of the stator and the rotor. Motors have three modes of operation: locked
rotor or stall (rotor is not turning), acceleration (rotor is coming up to speed), and running (rotor turns at near synchronous
speed). Heating occurs in the motor during each of these conditions in very distinct ways. Typically, during motor starting,
locked rotor, and acceleration conditions, the motor is rotor limited. That is, the rotor approaches its thermal limit before the
stator. Under locked rotor conditions, voltage is induced in the rotor at line frequency, 50 or 60 Hz. This voltage causes a
current to flow in the rotor, also at line frequency, and the heat generated (I2R) is a function of the effective rotor resistance.
At 50/60 Hz, the rotor cage reactance causes the current to flow at the outer edges of the rotor bars. The effective resis-
tance of the rotor is therefore at a maximum during a locked rotor condition as is rotor heating. When the motor is running
at rated speed, the voltage induced in the rotor is at a low frequency (approximately 1 Hz) and therefore, the effective resis-
tance of the rotor is reduced quite dramatically. During running overloads, the motor thermal limit is typically dictated by sta-
tor parameters. Some special motors might be all stator or all rotor limited. During acceleration, the dynamic nature of the
motor slip dictates that rotor impedance is also dynamic, and a third overload thermal limit characteristic is necessary.
Typical thermal limit curves are shown below. The motor starting characteristic is shown for a high inertia load at 80% volt-
age. If the motor started quicker, the distinct characteristics of the thermal limit curves would not be required and the run-
ning overload curve would be joined with locked rotor safe stall times to produce a single overload curve.

The primary protective function of the 369 is the thermal model. It consists of five key elements: the overload curve and
pickup level, unbalance biasing, motor cooling time constants, and temperature biasing based on Hot/Cold motor informa-
tion and measured stator RTD temperature.
The 369 integrates both stator and rotor heating into one model. Motor heating is reflected in the THERMAL CAPACITY
USED actual value. If stopped for a long period of time, the motor will be at ambient temperature and THERMAL CAPACITY
USED should be zero. If the motor is in overload, a trip will occur once the thermal capacity used reaches 100%. Insulation
does not immediately melt when a motor’s thermal limit is exceeded. Rather, the rate of insulation degradation reaches a
point where the motor life will be significantly reduced if the condition persists. The thermal capacity used alarm may be
used as a warning of an impending overload trip.
The 369 thermal model can be modified to allow compensation for motors used to drive cyclic loads, such as a reciprocat-
ing compressor. The MOTOR LOAD AVERAGING INTERVAL setting allows the user to dampen the effects of these loads as
they relate to the overall interpretation of the motor thermal characteristics. The load cycle can be determined using the 369
waveform capture feature or through external equipment. The size of the load cycle is then entered into the MOTOR LOAD
AVERAGING INTERVAL setpoint. The 369 uses this value to average the motor load, as applied to the thermal model, over
the duration of the load cycle. The result is a damping effect applied to the thermal model. The setting is entered in steps of
3 to correspond with the run rate of the 369 thermal model. For load cycles not evenly divisible by 3, enter a value equal to
the next multiple of 3 for the MOTOR LOAD AVERAGING INTERVAL.
Motor load averaging may increase trip/alarm times by 16.7 ms for every additional cycle averaged greater
than 3.

acceptable if the motor has been designed conservatively and can easily perform its required duty without infringing on the
thermal limit. In this case, the protection can be conservative and process integrity is not compromised. If a motor has been
designed very close to its thermal limits when operated as required, then the distinct characteristics of the thermal limits
become important.
The 369 overload curve can take one of two formats: Standard or Custom Curve. Regardless of which curve style is
selected, the 369 will retain thermal memory in the form of a register called THERMAL CAPACITY USED. This register is
updated every 100 ms using the following equation:
100 ms
TCusedt = TCused t – 100 ms + ------------------------------- × 100% (EQ 5.2)
time_to_trip
where: time_to_trip = time taken from the overload curve at Ieq as a function of FLA.
The overload protection curve should always be set slightly lower than the thermal limits provided by the manufacturer. This
will ensure that the motor is tripped before the thermal limit is reached.
If the motor starting times are well within the safe stall times, it is recommended that the 369 Standard Overload Curves be
used. The standard overload curves are a series of 15 curves with a common curve shape based on typical motor thermal
limit curves (see Figure 5–7: 369 STANDARD OVERLOAD CURVES on page 5–26 and Figure 5–7: 369 STANDARD
OVERLOAD CURVES on page 5–26).

d) UNBALANCE BIAS
Unbalanced phase currents cause additional rotor heating not accounted for by electromechanical relays and may not be
accounted for in some electronic protective relays. When the motor is running, the rotor rotates in the direction of the posi-
tive-sequence current at near synchronous speed. Negative-sequence current, having a phase rotation opposite to the
positive sequence current, and hence, opposite to the rotor rotation, generates a rotor voltage that produces a substantial
rotor current. This induced current has a frequency approximately twice the line frequency: 100 Hz for a 50 Hz system,
120 Hz for a 60 Hz system. Skin effect in the rotor bars at this frequency causes a significant increase in rotor resistance,
and therefore a significant increase in rotor heating. This extra heating is not accounted for in the motor manufacturer ther-
mal limit curves, since these curves assume positive-sequence currents only from a perfectly balanced supply and motor
design.
The 369 measures the percentage unbalance for the phase currents. The thermal model may be biased to reflect the addi-
tional heating caused by negative-sequence current, present during an unbalance when the motor is running. This is done
by creating an equivalent motor heating current that takes into account the unbalanced current effect along with the aver-
age phase current. This current is calculated as follows:
2
I avg 1 + k × ( UB% )
I eq = -----------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 5.4)
FLA
where: Ieq = equivalent unbalance biased heating current
Iavg = average RMS phase current measured
UB% = unbalance percentage measured (100% = 1, 50% = 0.5, etc.)
k = unbalance bias k factor
The figure on the left shows motor derating as a function of voltage unbalance as recommended by the American organiza-
tion NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association). Assuming a typical induction motor with an inrush of 6 × FLA
and a negative sequence impedance of 0.167, voltage unbalances of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% equal current unbalances of 6, 12,
18, 24, and 30% respectively. Based on this assumption, the figure on the right below illustrates the amount of motor derat- 5
ing for different values of k entered for the setpoint UNBALANCE BIAS K FACTOR. Note that the curve for k = 8 is almost
identical to the NEMA derating curve.

The 369 can also learn the unbalance bias k factor. It is recommended that the learned k factor not be enabled until the
motor has had at least five successful starts. The calculation of the learned k factor is as follows:
175
k = --------------------------------- where I LSC = learned start current, FLA = Full Load Amps setpoint (EQ 5.6)
( I LSC ⁄ FLA ) 2
e) MOTOR COOLING
The thermal capacity used quantity is reduced in an exponential manner when the motor is stopped or current is below the
overload pickup setpoint. This reduction simulates motor cooling. The motor cooling time constants should be entered for
both the stopped and running cases. A stopped motor will normally cool significantly slower than a running motor. Note that
the cool time constant is one fifth the total cool time from 100% thermal capacity used down to 0% thermal capacity used.
The 369 can learn and estimate the stopped and running cool time constants for a motor. Calculation of a cool time con-
stant is performed whenever the motor state transitions from starting to running or from running to stopped. The learned
cool times are based on the cooling rate of the hottest stator RTD, the hot/cold ratio, the ambient temperature (40 if no
ambient RTD), the measured motor load and the programmed service factor or overload pickup. Learned values should
only be enabled for motors that have been started, stopped and run at least five times.
Note that any learned cool time constants are mainly based on stator RTD information. Cool time, for starting, is typically a
rotor limit. The use of stator RTDs can only render an approximation. The learned values should only be used if the real val-
ues are not available from the motor manufacturer. Motor cooling is calculated using the following formulas:

g) RTD BIAS
The 369 thermal replica operates as a complete and independent model. The thermal overload curves however, are based
solely on measured current, assuming a normal 40°C ambient and normal motor cooling. If there is an unusually high ambi-
ent temperature, or if motor cooling is blocked, motor temperature will increase. If the motor stator has embedded RTDs,
the 369 RTD bias feature should be used to correct the thermal model.
The RTD bias feature is a two part curve constructed using three points. If the maximum stator RTD temperature is below
the RTD Bias Minimum setpoint (typically 40°C), no biasing occurs. If the maximum stator RTD temperature is above the
RTD Bias Maximum setpoint (typically at the stator insulation rating or slightly higher), then the thermal memory is fully
biased and thermal capacity is forced to 100% used. At values in between, the present thermal capacity used created by
the overload curve and other elements of the thermal model is compared to the RTD Bias thermal capacity used from the
RTD Bias curve. If the RTD Bias thermal capacity used value is higher, then that value is used from that point onward. The
RTD Bias Center point should be set at the rated running temperature of the motor. The 369 will automatically determine
the thermal capacity used value for the center point using the HOT/COLD SAFE STALL RATIO setpoint.

An overload alarm will occur only when the motor is running and the current rises above the programmed OVERLOAD
ALARM LEVEL. The overload alarm is disabled during a start. An application of an unlatched overload alarm is to signal a
PLC that controls the load on the motor, whenever the motor is too heavily loaded.
These elements deal with functions that are based on the current readings of the 369 from the external phase and/or
ground CTs. All models of the 369 include these features.

After a motor start, once the magnitude of any one of either phase A, B, or C exceeds the Trip/Alarm Pickup Level × FLA for
a period of time specified by the Delay, a Trip/Alarm will occur. This feature may be used to indicate a stall condition when
running. Not only does it protect the motor by taking it off-line quicker than the thermal model (overload curve), it may also
prevent or limit damage to the driven equipment that may occur if motor starting torque persists on jammed or broken
equipment.
The level for the Mechanical Jam Trip should be set higher than motor loading during normal operations, but lower than the
motor stall level. Normally the delay would be set to the minimum time delay, or set such that no nuisance trips occur due to
momentary load fluctuations.

DELAY: 1 s
If enabled, once the magnitude of either phase A, B or C falls below the pickup level × FLA for a period of time specified by
the Delay, a trip or alarm will occur. The undercurrent element is an indication of loss of load to the motor. Thus, the pickup
level should be set lower than motor loading levels during normal operations. The undercurrent element is active when the
motor is starting or running.
The undercurrent element can be blocked upon the initiation of a motor start for a period of time specified by the U/C Block
From Start setpoint (e.g. this block may be used to allow pumps to build up head before the undercurrent element trips). A
value of 0 means undercurrent protection is immediately enabled upon motor starting (no block). If a value other than 0 is
entered, the feature will be disabled from the time a start is detected until the time entered expires.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
If a pump is cooled by the liquid it pumps, loss of load may cause the pump to overheat. Undercurrent protection should
thus be enabled. If the motor loading should never fall below 0.75 × FLA, even for short durations, the Undercurrent Trip
pickup could be set to 0.70 and the Undercurrent Alarm to 0.75. If the pump is always started loaded, the block from start
feature should be disabled (programmed as 0).
Time delay is typically set as quick as possible, 1 second.

5 UNBALANCE TRIP
LEVEL: 20 %
Range: 4 to 30% in steps of 1
Unbalanced three phase supply voltages are a major cause of induction motor thermal damage. Causes of unbalance can
include: increased resistance in one phase due to a pitted or faulty contactor, loose connections, unequal tap settings in a
transformer, non-uniformly distributed three phase loads, or varying single phase loads within a plant. The most serious
case of unbalance is single phasing – that is, the complete loss of one phase. This can be caused by a utility supply prob-
lem or a blown fuse in one phase and can seriously damage a three phase motor. A single phase trip will occur in 2 sec-
onds if the Unbalance trip is on and the level exceeds 30%. A single phase trip will also activate in 2 seconds if the Motor
Load is above 30% and at least one of the phase currents is zero. Single phasing protection is disabled if the Unbalance
Trip is turned Off.
During balanced conditions in the stator, current in each motor phase is equal, and the rotor current is just sufficient to pro-
vide the turning torque. When the stator currents are unbalanced, a much higher current is induced into the rotor due to its
lower impedance to the negative sequence current component present. This current is at twice the power supply frequency
and produces a torque in the opposite direction to the desired motor output. Usually the increase in stator current is small
and timed overcurrent protection takes a long time to trip. However, the much higher induced rotor current can cause exten-
sive rotor damage in a short period of time. Motors can tolerate different levels of current unbalance depending on the rotor
design and heat dissipation characteristics.
To prevent nuisance trips/alarms on lightly loaded motors when a much larger unbalance level will not damage the rotor,
the unbalance protection will automatically be defeated if the average motor current is less than 30% of the full load current
(IFLA) setting. Unbalance is calculated as follows:
I max – I avg I max – I avg
If I avg ≥ I FLA , Unbalance = ----------------------------- × 100 If I avg < I FLA , Unbalance = ----------------------------- × 100 (EQ 5.13)
I avg I FLA
Unbalance protection is recommended at all times. When setting the unbalance pickup level, it should be noted that a 1%
voltage unbalance typically translates into a 6% current unbalance. Therefore, in order to prevent nuisance trips or alarms,
the pickup level should not be set too low. Also, since short term unbalances are common, a reasonable delay should be
set to avoid nuisance trips or alarms. It is recommended that the unbalance thermal bias feature be used to bias the Ther-
mal Model to account for rotor heating that may be caused by cyclic short term unbalances.
GROUND FAULT GROUND FAULT Range: 50/60 Hz Nominal: Off, Latched, Unlatched
ALARM: Off Variable: Off, Latched
Once the magnitude of ground current exceeds the Pickup Level for a period of time specified by the Delay, a trip and/or
alarm will occur. There is also a backup trip feature that can be enabled. If the backup is On, and a Ground Fault trip has
initiated, and the ground current persists for a period of time that exceeds the backup delay, a second ‘backup’ trip will
occur. It is intended that this second trip be assigned to Aux1 or Aux2 which would be dedicated as an upstream breaker
trip relay. The Ground Fault Trip Backup delay must be set to a time longer than the breaker clearing time.
Care must be taken when turning On this feature. If the interrupting device (contactor or circuit breaker) is
not rated to break ground fault current (low resistance or solidly grounded systems), the feature should be
NOTE
disabled. Alternately, the feature may be assigned to an auxiliary relay and connected such that it trips an
upstream device that is capable of breaking the fault current.
Various situations (e.g. contactor bounce) may cause transient ground currents during motor starting that may exceed the
Ground Fault Pickup levels for a very short period of time. The delay can be fine tuned to an application such that it still
responds very fast, but rides through normal operational disturbances. Normally, the Ground Fault time delays will be set as
quick as possible, 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 component. This asymmetrical current
may cause one phase to see as much as 1.6 times the normal RMS starting current. This momentary DC component will
cause each of the phase CTs to react differently and the net current into the ground input of the 369 will not be negligible. A
20 ms block of the ground fault elements when the motor starts enables the 369 to ride through this momentary ground cur-
rent signal.
Both the main Ground Fault delay and the backup delay start timing when the Ground Fault current exceeds the
pickup level.
NOTE
These setpoints deal with those functions that prevent the motor from restarting once stopped until a set condition clears
and/or a set time expires. None of these functions will trip a motor that is already running.
ASSIGN TRIP RELAYS: Range: None, Trip, Aux1, Aux2, or combinations of them
Trip
The 369 Thermal Model is designed to protect the motor under both starting and overload conditions. The Acceleration
Timer trip feature may be used in addition to that protection. If for example, the motor should always start in 2 seconds, but
the safe stall time is 8 seconds, there is no point letting the motor remain in a stall condition for 7 or 8 seconds when the
thermal model would take it off line. Furthermore, the starting torque applied to the driven equipment for that period of time
could cause severe damage.
If enabled, the Acceleration Timer trip element will function as follows: A motor start is assumed to be occurring when the
369 measures the transition of no motor current to some value of motor current. Typically current will rise quickly to a value
in excess of FLA (e.g. 6 × FLA). At this point, the Acceleration Timer will be initialized with the entered value in seconds. If
the current does not fall below the overload curve pickup level before the timer expires, an acceleration trip will occur. If the 5
acceleration time of the motor is variable, this feature should be set just beyond the longest acceleration time.
Some motor soft starters may allow current to ramp up slowly while others may limit current to less than
Full Load Amps throughout the start. In these cases, as a generic relay that must protect all motors, the 369
NOTE
cannot differentiate between a motor that has a slow ramp up time and one that has completed a start and
gone into an overload condition. Therefore, if the motor current does not rise to greater than full load within
1 second on start, the acceleration timer feature is ignored. In any case, the motor is still protected by the
overload curve.
• ENABLE SINGLE SHOT RESTART: Enabling this feature will allow the motor to be restarted immediately after an
overload trip has occurred. To accomplish this, a reset will cause the 369 to decrease the accumulated thermal capac-
ity to zero. However, if a second overload trip occurs within one hour of the first, another immediate restart will not be
permitted. The displayed lockout time must then be allowed to expire before the motor can be started.
• ENABLE START INHIBIT: The Start Inhibit feature is intended to help prevent tripping of the motor during a start if
there is insufficient thermal capacity for a start. The average value of thermal capacity used from the last five success-
ful starts is multiplied by 1.25 and stored as thermal capacity used on start. This 25% margin is used to ensure that a
motor start will be successful. If the number is greater than 100%, 100% is stored as thermal capacity used on start. A
successful motor start is one in which phase current rises from 0 to greater than overload pickup and then, after accel-
eration, falls below the overload curve pickup level. If the Start Inhibit feature is enabled, each time the motor is
stopped, the amount of thermal capacity available (100% – Thermal Capacity Used) is compared to the THERMAL
CAPACITY USED ON START. If the thermal capacity available does not exceed the THERMAL CAPACITY USED ON
START, or is not equal to 100%, the Start Inhibit will become active until there is sufficient thermal capacity. When an
inhibit occurs, the lockout time will be equal to the time required for the motor to cool to an acceptable temperature for
a start. This time will be a function of the COOL TIME CONSTANT STOPPED programmed. If this feature is turned Off,
thermal capacity used must reduce to 15% before an overload lockout resets. This feature should be turned off if the
load varies for different starts.
• MAX STARTS/HOUR PERMISSIBLE: A motor start is assumed to be occurring when the 369 measures the transition
of no motor current to some value of motor current. At this point, one of the Starts/Hour timers is loaded with 60 min-
utes. Even unsuccessful start attempts will be logged as starts for this feature. Once the motor is stopped, the number
of starts within the past hour is compared to the number of starts allowable. If the two are the same, an inhibit will
occur. If an inhibit occurs, the lockout time will be equal to one hour less the longest time elapsed since a start within
the past hour. An Emergency restart will clear the oldest start time remaining.
• TIME BETWEEN STARTS PERMISSIBLE: A motor start is assumed to be occurring when the 369 measures the tran-
5 sition of no motor current to some value of motor current. At this point, the Time Between Starts timer is loaded with the
entered time. Even unsuccessful start attempts will be logged as starts for this feature. Once the motor is stopped, if
the time elapsed since the most recent start is less than the TIME BETWEEN STARTS PERMISSIBLE setpoint, an inhibit
will occur. If an inhibit occurs, the lockout time will be equal to the time elapsed since the most recent start subtracted
from the TIME BETWEEN STARTS PERMISSIBLE setpoint.
• RESTART BLOCK: Restart Block may be used to ensure that a certain amount of time passes between stopping a
motor and restarting that motor. This timer feature may be very useful for some process applications or motor consid-
erations. If a motor is on a down-hole pump, after the motor stops, the liquid may fall back down the pipe and spin the
rotor backwards. It would be very undesirable to start the motor at this time. In another scenario, a motor may be driv-
ing a very high inertia load. Once the supply to the motor is disconnected, the rotor may continue to turn for a long
period of time as it decelerates. The motor has now become a generator and applying supply voltage out of phase may
result in catastrophic failure.
• ASSIGN BLOCK RELAY: The relay(s) assigned here will be used for all blocking/inhibit elements in this section. The
assigned relay will activate only when the motor is stopped. When a block/inhibit condition times out or is cleared, the
assigned relay will automatically reset itself.
NOTES FOR ALL INHIBITS AND BLOCKS:
1. In the event of control power loss, all lockout times will be saved. Elapsed time will be recorded and decremented from
the inhibit times whether control power is applied or not. Upon control power being re-established to the 369, all
remaining inhibits (have not time out) will be re-activated.
2. If the motor is started while an inhibit is active an event titled ‘Start while Blocked’ will be recorded.
Immediately after the motor is stopped, backspin detection commences and a backspin start inhibit is activated to prevent
the motor from being restarted. The backspin frequency is sensed through the BSD voltage input. If the measured fre-
quency is below the programmed MINIMUM PERMISSIBLE FREQUENCY, the backspin start inhibit will be removed. The time
for the motor to reach the MINIMUM PERMISSIBLE FREQUENCY is calculated throughout the backspin state. If the BSD fre-
quency signal is lost prior to reaching the Minimum Permissible Frequency, the inhibit remains active until the predication
time has expired. The calculated Predication Time and the Backspin State can be viewed in Voltage metering section of
Actual Values page 2.
APPLICATION:
Backspin protection is typically used on down hole pump motors which can be located several kilometers underground.
5
Check valves are often used to prevent flow reversal when the pump stops. Very often however, the flow reverses due to
faulty or non existent check valves, causing the pump impeller to rotate the motor in the reverse direction. Starting the
motor during this period of reverse rotation (back-spinning) may result in motor damage. Backspin detection ensures that
the motor can only be started when the motor has slowed to within acceptable limits. Without backspin detection a long
time delay had to be used as a start permissive to ensure the motor had slowed to a safe speed.
These setpoints are only visible when option B has been installed.
NOTE
These setpoints deal with the RTD overtemperature elements of the 369. The Local RTD Protection setpoints will only be
seen if the 369 has option R installed. The Remote RTD Protection setpoints will only be seen if the 369 has the RRTD
accessory enabled. Both can be enabled and used at the same time and have the same functionality.

• RTD 1(12) APPLICATION: Each individual RTD may be assigned an application. A setting of “None” turns an individ-
ual RTD off. Only RTDs with the application set to “Stator” are used for RTD biasing of the thermal model. If an RTD
application is set to “Ambient”, then its is used in calculating the learned cool time of the motor.
• RTD 1(12) TYPE: Each RTD is individually assigned the RTD type it is connected to. Multiple types may be used with
a single 369.
• RTD 1(12) NAME: Each RTD may have 8 character name assigned to it. This name is used in alarm and trip mes-
sages.
• RTD 1(12) ALARM, RTD 1(12) HI ALARM, and RTD 1(12) TRIP: Each RTD can be programmed for separate Alarm,
Hi Alarm and Trip levels and relays. Trips are automatically stored as events. Alarms and Hi Alarms are stored as
events only if the Record Alarms as Events setpoint for that RTD is set to Yes.
• RTD 1(12) TRIP VOTING: This feature provides added RTD trip reliability in situations where malfunction and nui-
sance tripping is common. If enabled, the RTD trips only if the RTD (or RTDs) to be voted with are also above their trip
level. For example, if RTD 1 is set to vote with All Stator RTDs, the 369 will only trip if RTD 1 is above its trip level and
any one of the other stator RTDs is also above its own trip level. RTD voting is typically only used on Stator RTDs and
typically done between adjacent RTDs to detect hot spots.
Stator RTDs can detect heating due to non overload (current) conditions such as blocked or inadequate cooling and venti-
lation or high ambient temperature as well as heating due to overload conditions. Bearing or other RTDs can detect over-
heating of bearings or auxiliary equipment.
OPEN LOCAL RTD ALARM OPEN LOCAL RTD Range: Off, Latched, Unlatched
ALARM: Off
The 369 has an Open RTD Sensor Alarm. This alarm will look at all RTDs that have been assigned an application other
than “None” and determine if an RTD connection has been broken. When a broken sensor is detected, the assigned output
relay will operate and a message will appear on the display identifying the RTD that is broken. It is recommended that if this
feature is used, the alarm be programmed as latched so that intermittent RTDs are detected and corrective action may be
taken.
SHORT/LOW RTD ALARM SHORT/LOW TEMP RTD Range: Off, Latched, Unlatched
ALARM: Off
The 369 has an RTD Short/Low Temperature alarm. This function tracks all RTDs that have an application other than
“None” to determine if an RTD has either a short or a very low temperature (less than –40°C). When a short/low tempera-
ture is detected, the assigned output relay will operate and a message will appear on the display identifying the RTD that
caused the alarm. It is recommended that if this feature is used, the alarm be programmed as latched so that intermittent
RTDs are detected and corrective action may be taken.
LOSS OF RRTD COMMS LOSS OF RRTD COMMS Range: Off, Latched, Unlatched
ALARM: OFF
The 369, if connected to a RRTD module, will monitor communications between them. If for some reason communications
is lost or interrupted the 369 can issue an alarm indicating the failure. This feature is useful to ensure that the remote RTDs
are continuously being monitored.
These elements are not used by the 369 unless the M or B option is installed and the VT CONNECTION TYPE setpoint (see
Section 5.3.2: CT/VT Setup on page 5–11) is set to something other than “None”.
5.8.2 UNDERVOLTAGE
UNDERVOLTAGE ALARM
EVENTS: Off
Range: Off, On
5
UNDERVOLTAGE Range: Off, Latched, Unlatched
TRIP: Off
If enabled, an undervoltage trip or alarm occurs once the magnitude of either Vab, Vbc, or Vca falls below the running
pickup level while running or the starting pickup level while starting, for a period of time specified by the alarm or trip delay
(pickup levels are multiples of motor nameplate voltage).
An undervoltage on a running motor with a constant load results in increased current. The relay thermal model typically
picks up this condition and provides adequate protection. However, this setpoint may be used in conjunction with time delay
to provide additional protection that may be programmed for advance warning by tripping.
The U/V ACTIVE IF MOTOR STOPPED setpoint may be used to prevent nuisance alarms or trips when the motor is stopped.
If "No" is programmed the undervoltage element will be blocked from operating whenever the motor is stopped (no phase
current and starter status indicates breaker or contactor open). If the load is high inertia, it may be desirable to ensure that
the motor is tripped off line or prevented from starting in the event of a total loss or decrease in line voltage. Programming
"Yes" for the block setpoint will ensure that the motor is tripped and may be restarted only after the bus is re-energized.
A typical application of this feature is with an undervoltage of significant proportion that persists while starting a synchro-
nous motor which may prevent it from coming up to rated speed within the rated time. This undervoltage may be an indica-
tion of a system fault. To protect a synchronous motor from being restarted while out of step it may be necessary to use
undervoltage to take the motor offline before a reclose is attempted.
5.8.3 OVERVOLTAGE
5 OVERVOLTAGE TRIP
DELAY: 1.0s
Range: 0.0 to 255.0 s in steps of 0.1
If enabled, once the magnitude of either Vab, Vbc, or Vca rises above the Pickup Level for a period of time specified by the
Delay, a trip or alarm will occur (pickup levels are multiples of motor nameplate voltage).
An overvoltage on running motor with a constant load will result in decreased current. However, iron and copper losses
increase, causing an increase in motor temperature. The current overload relay will not pickup this condition and provide
adequate protection. Therefore, the overvoltage element may be useful for protecting the motor in the event of a sustained
overvoltage condition.
The Undervoltage and Overvoltage alarms and trips are activated based upon the phase to phase voltage
regardless of the VT connection type.
NOTE
The 369 can detect the phase rotation of the three phase voltage. If the phase reversal feature is turned on when all 3
phase voltages are greater than 50% motor nameplate voltage and the phase rotation of the three phase voltages is not the
same as the setpoint, a trip and block start will occur in 500 ms to 700 ms.
5.8.5 UNDERFREQUENCY
UNDERFREQUENCY TRIP
LEVEL: 59.50 Hz
Range: 20.00 to 70.00 Hz in steps of 0.01
5
UNDERFREQUENCY TRIP Range: 0.0 to 255.0 s in steps of 0.1
DELAY: 1.0s
Once the frequency of the phase AN or AB voltage (depending on wye or delta connection) falls below the underfrequency
pickup level, a trip or alarm will occur.
This feature may be useful for load shedding applications on large motors. It could also be used to load shed an entire
feeder if the trip was assigned to an upstream breaker. Underfrequency can also be used to detect loss of power to a syn-
chronous motor. Due to motor generation, sustained voltage may prevent quick detection of power loss. Therefore, to
quickly detect the loss of system power, the decaying frequency of the generated voltage as the motor slows can be used.
The Underfrequency element is not active when the motor is stopped.
5.8.6 OVERFREQUENCY
5 OVERFREQUENCY TRIP
LEVEL: 60.50 Hz
Range: 20.00 to 70.00 Hz in steps of 0.01
Once the frequency of the phase AN or AB voltage (depending on wye or delta connection) rises above the overfrequency
pickup level, a trip or alarm will occur.
This feature may be useful for load shedding applications on large motors. It could also be used to load shed an entire
feeder if the trip was assigned to an upstream breaker.
The Overfrequency element is not active when the motor is stopped.
These protective elements rely on CTs and VTs being installed and setpoints programmed. The power elements are only
shown if the 369 has option M or B installed. By convention, an induction motor consumes Watts and vars. This condition is
displayed on the 369 as +Watts and +vars. A synchronous motor can consume Watts and vars or consume Watts and gen-
erate vars. These conditions are displayed on the 369 as +Watts, +vars, and +Watts, –vars respectively.

If the 369 is applied on a synchronous motor, it is desirable not to trip or alarm on power factor until the field has been
applied. Therefore, this feature can be blocked until the motor comes up to speed and the field is applied. From that point
forward, the power factor trip and alarm elements will be active. Once the power factor is less than the lead level, for the
specified delay, a trip or alarm will occur indicating a lead condition.
The lead power factor alarm can be used to detect over-excitation or loss of load.
If the 369 is applied on a synchronous motor, it is desirable not to trip or alarm on power factor until the field has been
applied. Therefore, this feature can be blocked until the motor comes up to speed and the field is applied. From that point
forward, the power factor trip and alarm elements will be active. Once the power factor is less than the lag level, for the
specified delay, a trip or alarm will occur indicating lag condition.
The power factor alarm can be used to detect loss of excitation and out of step for a synchronous motor.
If the 369 is applied on a synchronous motor, it is desirable not to trip or alarm on kvar until the field has been applied.
Therefore, this feature can be blocked until the motor comes up to speed and the field is applied. From that point forward,
the kvar trip and alarm elements will be active. Once the kvar level exceeds the positive level, for the specified delay, a trip
or alarm will occur indicating a positive kvar condition. The reactive power alarm can be used to detect loss of excitation
and out of step.
When using the 369 on a synchronous motor, it is desirable not to trip or alarm on kvar until the field has been applied. As
such, this feature can be blocked until the motor comes up to speed and the field is applied. From that point forward, the
kvar trip and alarm elements will be active. Once the kvar level exceeds the negative level for the specified delay, a trip or
alarm occurs, indicating a negative kvar condition. The reactive power alarm can be used to detect overexcitation or loss of
load.
5.9.6 UNDERPOWER
If enabled, a trip or alarm occurs when the magnitude of 3∅ total real power falls below the pickup level for a period of time
specified by the delay. The underpower element is active only when the motor is running and will be blocked upon the initi-
ation of a motor start for a period of time defined by the BLOCK UNDERPOWER FROM START setpoint (e.g. this block may be
used to allow pumps to build up head before the underpower element trips or alarms). A value of 0 means the feature is not
blocked from start; otherwise the feature is disabled when the motor is stopped and also from the time a start is detected
until the time entered expires. The pickup level should be set lower than motor loading during normal operations.
Underpower may be used to detect loss of load conditions. Loss of load conditions will not always cause a significant loss
of current. Power is a more accurate representation of loading and may be used for more sensitive detection of load loss or
pump cavitation. This may be especially useful for detecting process related problems.
If enabled, once the magnitude of three-phase total real power exceeds the pickup level in the reverse direction (negative
kW) for a period of time specified by the delay, a trip or alarm will occur.
The minimum power measurement magnitude is determined by the phase CT minimum of 5% rated CT pri-
mary. If the reverse power level is set below this, a trip or alarm will only occur once the phase current
NOTE
exceeds the 5% cutoff.
a) DESCRIPTION
Any of the programmable digital inputs may be selected and programmed as a separate General Switch, Digital Counter, or
Waveform Capture Input. The xxxxx term in the following menus refers to the configurable switch input function – either the
Spare Switch, Emergency Restart, Differential Switch, Speed Switch, or Remote Reset inputs described in the following
sections.
b) GENERAL
The above selections will be shown if the in the corresponding menu if SPARE SW FUNCTION, EMERGENCY FUNCTION, DIFF
SW FUNCTION, or SPEED SW FUNCTION setpoints are set to “General”. Refer to the individual sections for Spare Switch,
Emergency Restart, Differential Switch, Speed Switch, or Remote Reset below for additional function-specific setpoints.
c) DIGITAL COUNTER
The above selections will be shown if the in the corresponding menu if SPARE SW FUNCTION, EMERGENCY FUNCTION, DIFF
SW FUNCTION, or SPEED SW FUNCTION setpoints are set to “Digital Counter”. Refer to the individual sections for Spare
Switch, Emergency Restart, Differential Switch, Speed Switch, or Remote Reset below for additional function-specific set-
points.
Only one digital input may be selected as a digital counter at a time. User defined units and counter name may be defined
and these will appear on all counter related actual value and alarm messages. To clear a digital counter alarm, the alarm
level must be increased or the counter must be cleared or preset to a lower value.
d) WAVEFORM CAPTURE
The Waveform Capture setting for the digital inputs allows the 369 to capture a waveform upon command (contact closure).
The captured waveforms can then be displayed via the enerVista 369 Setup program.

See Section 5.10.1: Digital Input Functions on page 5–56 for an explanation of the emergency restart functions. In addition
to the normal selections, the Emergency Restart Switch may be used as a emergency restart input to the 369 to override
protection for the motor.
When the emergency restart switch is closed all trip and alarm functions are reset. Thermal capacity used is set to zero and
all protective elements are disabled until the switch is opened. Starts per hour are also reduced by one each time the switch
is closed.
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH DIFF SW FUNCTION: Range: Off, Differential Switch, General, Digital Counter,
Differential Switch Waveform Capture
See Section 5.10.1: Digital Input Functions on page 5–56 for an explanation of differential switch functions. In addition to
the normal selections, the Differential Switch may be used as a contact input for a separate external 86 (differential trip)
relay. Contact closure will cause the 369 relay to issue a differential trip.
SPEED SWITCH SPEED SW FUNCTION: Range: Off, Speed Switch, General, Digital Counter,
Speed Switch Waveform Capture
5 See Section 5.10.1: Digital Input Functions on page 5–56 for an explanation of speed switch functions. In addition to the
normal selections, the Speed Switch may be used as an input for an external speed switch. This allows the 369 to utilize a
speed device for locked rotor protection. During a motor start, if no contact closure occurs within the programmed time
delay, a trip will occur. The speed input must be opened for a speed switch trip to be reset.
REMOTE RESET REMOTE SW FUNCTION: Range: Off, Remote Reset, General, Digital Counter,
Remote Reset Waveform Capture
See the following section for an explanation of remote reset functions. In addition to the normal selections, the Remote
Reset may be used as a contact input to reset the relay.
TEST OUTPUT RELAYS FORCE TRIP RELAY: Range: Disabled, Energized, De-energized
Disabled
5 The Test Output Relay feature provides a method of performing checks on all relay contact outputs. The feature can also be
used for control purposes while the motor is running. The forced state overrides the normal operation of the relay output.
The forced state, if enabled (energized or de-energized), forces the selected relay into the programmed state for as long as
the programmed duration. After the programmed duration expires, the forced state will return to disabled and relay opera-
tion will return to normal. If the duration is programmed as Static, the forced state will remain in effect until changed or dis-
abled. If control power to the 369 is interrupted, any forced relay condition will be removed.
The Test Analog Output setpoints may be used during startup or testing to verify that the analog outputs are functioning cor-
rectly. It may also be used when the motor is running to give manual or communication control of an analog output. Forcing
an analog output overrides its normal functionality.
When the Force Analog Outputs Function is enabled, the output will reflect the forced value as a percentage of the range 4
to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA, or 0 to 1 mA. Selecting Off will place the analog output channels back in service, reflecting the
parameters programmed to each.

event that option M has not been installed, Van for Wye is 0 V, or Vab for Delta is 0 V, Ia will be used as the reference phasor.
Reference Phasor VT Connection Type
Ia None
Van Wye
Vab Delta
Note that the phasor display is not intended to be used as a protective metering element. Its prime purpose is to diagnose
errors in wiring connections.
To aid in wiring, the following tables can be used to determine if VTs and CTs are on the correct phase and their polarity is
correct. Problems arising from incorrect wiring are extremely high unbalance levels (CTs), erroneous power readings (CTs
and VTs), or phase reversal trips (VTs). To correct wiring, simply start the motor and record the phasors. Using the following
tables along with the recorded phasors, system rotation, VT connection type, and motor power factor, the correct phasors
can be determined. Note that Va (Vab if delta) is always assumed to be 0° and is the reference for all angle measurements.
Common problems include: Phase currents 180° from proper location (CT polarity reversed)
Phase currents or voltages 120° or 240° out (CT/VT on wrong phase)

This page contains the data the 369 learns to adapt itself to the motor protected.
The learned values for acceleration time and starting current are the average of the individual values acquired for the last
five successful starts. The value for starting current is used when learned k factor is enabled.
The learned value for starting capacity is the amount of thermal capacity required for a start determined by the 369 from the
last five successful motor starts. The last five learned start capacities are averaged and a 25% safety margin factored in.
This guarantees enough thermal capacity available to start the motor. The Start Inhibit feature, when enabled, uses this
value in determining lockout time.
The learned cool time constants and unbalance k factor are displayed here. The learned value is the average of the last five
measured constants. These learned cool time constants are used only when the ENABLE LEARNED COOL TIMES thermal
model setpoint is "Yes". The learned unbalance k factor is the average of the last five calculated k factors. The learned k
factor is only used when unbalance biasing of thermal capacity is set on and to learned.
Note that learned values are calculated even when features requiring them are turned off. The learned features should not
be used until at least five successful motor starts and stops have occurred.
Starting capacity, starting current, and acceleration time values are displayed for the last start. The average motor load
while running is also displayed here. The motor load is averaged over a 15 minute sliding window.
Clearing motor data (see Section 5.2.9: Clear/Preset Data on page 5–9) resets these values to their default settings.

The number of trips by type is displayed here. When the total reaches 50000, the counter resets to 0 on the next trip and
continues counting. This information can be cleared with the setpoints in the CLEAR/PRESET DATA section of setpoints

These values display the number of motor starts and emergency restarts. This information is useful for troubleshooting a
motor failure or in understanding the history and use of a motor for maintenance purposes. When any of these counters
reaches 50000, they are automatically reset to 0.
The MOTOR RUNNING HOURS indicates the elapsed time since the 369 determined the motor to be in a running state (cur-
rent applied and/or starter status indicating contactor/breaker closed). The NUMBER OF MOTOR STARTS, NUMBER OF
EMERGENCY RESTARTS, and MOTOR RUNNING HOURS counters can be cleared with the S1 369 SETUP " CLEAR/PRESET

The digital counter will be displayed when one of the digital inputs has been set up as a digital counter. The digital counter
can be cleared with the S1 369 SETUP " CLEAR/PRESET DATA " PRESET DIGITAL COUNTER setpoint. When the digital
counter has exceeded 65535, it will automatically be reset by the 369 relay to 0.
A breakdown of the last 250 events is available here along with the cause of the event and the date and time. All trips auto-
matically trigger an event. Alarms only trigger an event if turned on for that alarm. Loss or application of control power, ser-
vice alarm and emergency restart opening and closing also triggers an event. After 250 events have been recorded, the
oldest one is removed when a new one is added. The event record may be cleared in the setpoints page 1, clear/preset

The relay model and manufacturing information may be viewed here. The last calibration date is the date the relay was last
calibrated at GE Multilin.

7 erly. The LED will blink on and off when the relay has communication difficulties and the LED will be off if no activity
detected on communication lines.
5. Can the 4 wire RS485 (full duplex) be used with 369?
No, the 369 communicates in 2-wire half duplex mode only. However, there are commercial RS485 converters that will
convert a 4 wire to a 2 wire system.
6. Cannot store setpoint into the relay.
Check and ensure the ACCESS switch is shorted, and check for any PASSCODE restrictions.
7. The 369 relay displays incorrect power reading, yet the power system is balanced. What could be the possible
reasons?
It is highly possible that the secondary wiring to the relay is not correct. Incorrect power can be read when any of the A,
B, or C phases are swapped, a CT or VT is wired backwards, or the relay is programmed as ABC sequence when the
power system is actually ACB and vice versa. The easiest way to verify is to check the voltage and the current phasor
readings on the 369 relay and ensure that each respective voltage and current angles match.
8. What are the merits of a residual ground fault connection versus a core balance connection?
The use of a zero sequence (core balance) CT to detect ground current is recommended over the G/F residual con-
nection. This is especially true at motor starting. During across-the-line starting of large motors, care must be taken to
prevent the high inrush current from operating the ground element of the 369. This is especially true when using the
residual connection of 2 or 3 CTs.
In a residual connection, the unequal saturation of the current transformers, size and location of motor, size of power
system, resistance in the power system from the source to the motor, type of iron used in the motor core & saturation
density, and residual flux levels may all contribute to the production of a false residual current in the secondary or relay
circuit. The common practice in medium and high voltage systems is to use low resistance grounding. By using the
“doughnut CT” scheme, such systems offer the advantages of speed and reliability without much concern for starting
current, fault contribution by the motor, or false residual current.
When a zero sequence CT is used, a voltage is generated in the secondary winding only when zero sequence current
is flowing in the primary leads. Since virtually all motors have their neutrals ungrounded, no zero sequence current can
flow in the motor leads unless there is a ground fault on the motor side.
9. Can I send a 269 setpoint file to a 369 relay?
Yes. Using the 369PC software, a 269 setpoint file can be sent to the 369. Note that any settings/features not in the
269 setpoint file are set to default values on the 369. All setpoints should be confirmed before operating the relay.
10. Can I use an 86 lockout on the 369?
Yes, but if an external 86 lockout device is used and connected to the 369, ensure the 369 is reset prior to attempting
to reset the lockout switch. If the 369 is still tripped, it will immediately re-trip the lockout switch. Also, if the lockout
switch is held reset, the high current draw of the switch coil may cause damage to itself and/or the 369 output relay.
11. Can I assign more than one output relay to be blocked when using Start Inhibits?
Yes, but keep in mind that if two output relays are wired in series to inhibit a start it is possible that another element
could be programmed to control one or both of the relays. If this is happening and the other element is programmed
with a longer delay time, this will make it seem as if the Start Inhibit is not working properly when in fact, it is.
12. Can I name a digital input?
Yes. By configuring the digital input as "General" a menu will appear that will allow naming.
13. Can I apply an external voltage to the digital inputs on the 369?
No. The 369 uses an internal voltage to operate the digital inputs. Applying an external voltage may cause damage to
the internal circuitry.
14. No display, no characters on the display but there is a backlight.
Check the contrast using the help button. Press and hold the help button for 2 seconds. When all the LED’s are illumi-
nated press the value up key to darken the contrast or value down key to lighten the contrast. When the desired con-
trast is selected press the enter key to accept the change.
15. Can I upload setpoint files from previous versions to the latest version of firmware?
Yes, with the exception of setpoint files from versions 1.10 and 1.12. Unfortunately these setpoint files must be rewrit-
ten, as they are not compatible. 7
16. What method does the 369 use to calculate current unbalance?
The 369 uses the NEMA method. Previous revisions of the 369 manual have incorrectly included a functional test that
measured the ratio of negative sequence current to positive sequence current. The NEMA method is as follows:
I max – I avg
If Iavg ≥ IFLA, then Unbalance = -------------------------- × 100
I avg
To prevent nuisance trips/alarms on lightly loaded motors when a much larger unbalance level will not damage the
rotor, the unbalance protection will automatically be defeated if the average motor current is less than 30% of the full
load current (IFLA) setting.
17. I need to update the options for my 369/RRTD in the field, can I do this?
Yes. All options of the 369/RRTD can be turned on or added in the field. To do this contact the factory.
a) DOS
Always check the power supply rating before applying power to the relay
Applying voltage greater than the maximum rating to the power supply (e.g. 120 V AC to the low-voltage rated power
supply) could result in component damage to the relay's power supply. This will result in the unit no longer being able
to power up.
Ensure that the 369 nominal phase current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary rating and the connections of the
connected CTs
Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or inadequate protection.
Ensure that the source CT and VT polarity match the relay CT and VT polarity
Polarity of the Phase CTs is critical for power measurement, and residual ground current detection (if used). Polarity of
the VTs is critical for correct power measurement and voltage phase reversal operation.
Properly ground the 369
Connect both the Filter Ground (terminal 123) and Safety Ground (terminal 126) of the 369 directly to the main
GROUND BUS. The benefits of proper grounding of the 369 are numerous, e.g,
• Elimination of nuisance tripping
• Elimination of internal hardware failures
• Reliable operation of the relay
• Higher MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
• It is recommended that a tinned copper braided shielding and bonding cable be used. A Belden 8660 cable or
equivalent should be used as a minimum to connect the relay directly to the ground bus.
Grounding of Phase and Ground CTs
All Phase and Ground CTs must be grounded. The potential difference between the CT's ground and the ground bus
should be minimal (ideally zero).
It is highly recommended that the two CT leads be twisted together to minimize noise pickup, especially when the
highly sensitive 50:0.025 Ground CT sensor is used.
RTDs
Consult the application notes of the 369 Instruction Manual for the full description of the 369 RTD circuitry and the dif-
ferent RTD wiring schemes acceptable for proper operation. However, for best results the following recommendations
should be adhered to: 7
a) Use a 3 wire twisted, shielded cable to connect the RTDs from the motor to the 369. The shields should be con-
nected to the proper terminals on the back of the 369.
b) RTD shields are internally connected to the 369 ground (terminal #126) and must not be grounded anywhere else.
c) RTD signals can be characterized as very small, sensitive signals. Therefore, cables carrying RTD signals should
be routed as far away as possible from power carrying cables such as power supply and CT cables.
d) If after wiring the RTD leads to the 369, the RTD temperature displayed by the Relay is zero, then check for the
following conditions:
1. Shorted RTD
2. RTD hot and compensation leads are reversed, i.e. hot lead in compensation terminal and compensation lead
in hot terminal.
RS485 Communications Port
The 369 can provide direct or remote communications (via a modem). An RS232 to RS485 converter is used to tie it to
a PC/PLC or DCS system. The 369 uses the Modicon MODBUS® RTU protocol (functions 03, 04, and 16) to interface
with PCs, PLCs, and DCS systems.
RS485 communications was chosen to be used with the 369 because it allows communications over long distances of
up to 4000 ft. However, care must be taken for it to operate properly and trouble free. The recommendations listed
below must be followed to obtain reliable communications:
a) A twisted, shielded pair (preferably a 24 gauge Belden 9841 type or 120 equivalent) must be used and routed
away from power carrying cables, such as power supply and CT cables.
b) No more than 32 devices can co-exist on the same link. If however, more than 32 devices should be daisy chained
together, a REPEATER must be used. Note that a repeater is just another RS232 to RS485 converter device. The
shields of all 369 units should also be daisy chained together and grounded at the MASTER (PC/PLC) only. This
is due to the fact that if shields are grounded at different points, a potential difference between grounds might exist
resulting in placing one or more of the transceiver chips (chip used for communications) in an unknown state, i.e.
not receiving nor sending. The corresponding 369 communications might be erroneous, intermittent or unsuccess-
ful.
c) Two sets of 120 Ω / 0.5 W resistor and 1 nF / 50 V capacitor in series must be used (value matches the character-
istic impedance of the line). One set at the 369 end, connected between the positive and negative terminals (#46
& #47 on 369) and the second at the other end of the communications link. This is to prevent reflections and ring-
ing on the line. If a different value resistor is used, it runs the risk of over loading the line and communications
might be erroneous, intermittent or totally unsuccessful.
d) It is highly recommended that connection from the 369 communication terminals be made directly to the interfac-
ing Master Device (PC/PLC/DCS), without the use of stub lengths and/or terminal blocks. This is also to minimize
ringing and reflections on the line.
b) DON'TS
Don’t apply direct voltage to the Digital Inputs.
There are 6 switch inputs (Spare Input; Differential Input; Speed Switch; Access; Emergency Restart; External Reset)
that are designed for dry contact connections only. Applying direct voltage to the inputs, it may result in component
damage to the digital input circuitry.
Grounding of the RTDs should not be done in two places.
When grounding at the 369, only one Return lead need be grounded as all are hard-wired together internally. No error
will be introduced into the RTD reading by grounding in this manner.
Running more than one RTD Return lead back will cause significant errors as two or more parallel paths for return
have been created.
Don’t reset an 86 Lockout switch before resetting the 369.
If an external 86 lockout device is used and connected to the 369, ensure that the 369 is reset prior to attempting to
7 reset the lockout switch. If the 369 is still tripped, it will immediately re-trip the lockout switch. Also if the lockout switch
is held reset, the high current draw of the lockout switch coil may cause damage to itself and/or the 369 output relay.
a) 369 CT WITHSTAND
Withstand is important when the phase or ground CT has the capability of driving a large amount of current into the inter-
posing CTs in the relay. This typically occurs on retrofit installations when the CTs are not sized to the burden of the relay.
Electronic relays typically have low burdens (mΩ), while the older electromechanical relays have typically high burdens
(1 Ω).
For high current ground faults, the system will be either low resistance or solidly grounded. The limiting factor that deter-
mines the ground fault current that can flow in these types of systems is the source capacity. Withstand is not important for
ground fault on high resistance grounded systems. On these systems, a resistor makes the connection from source to
ground at the source (generator, transformer). The resistor value is chosen so that in the event of a ground fault, the current
that flows is limited to a low value, typically 5, 10, or 20 A.
Since the potential for very large faults exists (ground faults on high resistance grounded systems excluded), the fault must
be cleared as quickly as possible. It is therefore recommended that the time delay for short circuit and high ground faults be
set to instantaneous. Then the duration for which the 369 CTs subjected to high withstand will be less than 250 ms (369
reaction time is less than 50ms + breaker clearing time).
Care must be taken to ensure that the interrupting device is capable of interrupting the potential fault. If
not, some other method of interrupting the fault should be used, and the feature in question should be dis-
NOTE abled (e.g. a fused contactor relies on fuses to interrupt large faults).
The 369 CTs were subjected to high currents for 1 second bursts. The CTs were capable of handling 500 A (500 A relates
to a 100 times the CT primary rating). If the time duration required is less than 1 second, the withstand level will increase.
7.4.2 CT SELECTION
The 369 phase CT should be chosen such that the FLA (FLC) of the motor falls within 50 to 100% of the CT primary rating.
For example, if the FLA of the motor is 173 A, a primary CT rating of 200, 250, or 300 can be chosen (200 being the better
choice). This provides maximum protection of the motor.
The CT selected must then be checked to ensure that it can drive the attached burden (relay and wiring and any auxiliary
devices) at maximum fault current levels without saturating. There are essentially two ways of determining if the CT is being
driven into saturation:
CT secondary resistance
CT class voltage
{
Wire Wire
resistance resistance
Relay
burden resistance
Information provided by a motor manufacturer can vary from nameplate information to a vast amount of data related to
every parameter of the motor. The table below shows selected information from a typical motor data sheet and Figure 7–2:
Motor Thermal Limits shows the related motor thermal limit curves. This information is required to set the 369 for a proper
protection scheme.
The following is a example of how to determine the 369 setpoints. It is only a example and the setpoints should be
determined based on the application and specific design of the motor.

Phase CT
The phase CT should be chosen such that the FLC is 50% to 100% of CT primary. Since the FLC is 229 A a 250:5, 300:5,
or 400:5 CT may be chosen (a 250:5 is the better choice).
229 / 0.50 = 458 or 229 / 1.00 = 229
Motor FLC
Set the Motor Full Load Current to 229A, as per data sheets.
Ground CT
For high resistive grounded systems, sensitive ground detection is possible with the 50:0.025 CT. On solidly grounded or
low resistive grounded systems where the fault current is much higher, a 1A or 5A CT should be used. If residual ground
fault connection is to be used, the ground fault CT ratio most equal the phase CT ratio. The zero sequence CT chosen
needs to be able to handle all potential fault levels without saturating.
VT Settings
The motor is going to be connected in Wye, hence, the VT connection type will be programmed as Wye. Since the motor
voltage is 6000V, the VT being used will be 6000:120. The VT ratio to be programmed into the 369 will then be 50:1 (6000/
120) and the Motor Rated Voltage will be programmed to 6000V, as per the motor data sheets.
Overload Pickup
The overload pickup is set to the same as the service factor of the motor. In this case, it would be set to the lowest setting
of 1.01 x FLC for the service factor of 1.
Unbalance Bias Of Thermal Capacity
Enable the Unbalance Bias of Thermal Capacity so that the heating effect of unbalance currents is added to the Thermal
Capacity Used.
Unbalance Bias K Factor
The K value is used to calculate the contribution of the negative sequence current flowing in the rotor due to unbalance. It
is defined as:
R r2
-------- , where: Rr2 = rotor negative sequence resistance, Rr1 = rotor positive sequence resistance
R r1
175 175
K = ---------- = ----------- @ 6
2 2
L RA 5.5
NOTE
The 369 has the ability to learn the K value after five successful starts. After 5 starts, turn this setpoint off so that the 369
uses the learned value
Hot/Cold Curve Ratio
The hot/cold curve ratio is calculated by simply dividing the hot safe stall time by the cold safe stall time. This information
can be extracted from the Thermal Limit curves. From Figure 7–2: Motor Thermal Limits, we can determine that the hot
safe stall time is approximately 18 seconds and the cold safe stall time is approximately 24 seconds. Therefore, the Hot/
Cold curve ratio should be programmed as 0.75 (18 / 24) for this example.
Running and Stopped Cool Time Constant
The running cool time is the time required for the motor to cool while running. This information is usually supplied by the
motor manufacturer but is not part of the given data. The motor manufacturer should be contacted to find out what the cool
times are.
The Thermal Capacity Used quantity decays exponentially to simulate the cooling of the motor. The rate of cooling is based
upon the running cool time constant when the motor is running, or the stopped cool time constant when the motor is
stopped. The entered cool time constant is one fifth the total cool time from 100% thermal capacity used down to 0% ther-
mal capacity used.
The 369 has a unique capability of learning the cool time constant. This learned parameter is only functional if the Stator
RTDs are connected to the 369. The learned cool time algorithm observes the temperature of the motor as it cools, thus
determining the length of time required for cooling. If the cool times can not be retrieved from the motor manufacturer, then
the Learned Cool Time must be enabled (if the stator RTDs are connected).
Motors have a fanning action when running due to the rotation of the rotor. For this reason, the running cool time is typically
half of the stopped cool time.
Refer to the Selection of Cool Time application note for more details on how to determine the cool time constants when not
provided with the motor.
RTD Biasing
This will enable the temperature from the Stator RTD sensors to be included in the calculations of Thermal Capacity. This
model determines the Thermal Capacity Used based on the temperature of the Stators and is a separate calculation from
the overload model for calculating Thermal Capacity Used. RTD biasing is a back up protection element which accounts for
such things as loss of cooling or unusually high ambient temperature. There are three parameters to set: RTD Bias Min,
RTD Bias Mid, RTD Bias Max.
RTD Bias Minimum
Set to 40°C which is the ambient temperature (obtained from data sheets).
RTD Bias Mid Point
The center point temperature is set to the motor’s hot running temperature and is calculated as follows:
Temperature Rise of Stator + Ambient Temperature.
The temperature rise of the stator is 79°K, obtained from the data sheets. Therefore, the RTD Center point temperature is
set to 120°C (79 + 40).
RTD Bias Maximum
This setpoint is set to the rating of the insulation or slightly less. A class F insulation is used in this motor which is rated at
155°C.
Overload Curve
If only one thermal limit curve is provided, the chosen overload curve should fit below it. When a hot and cold thermal limit
curve is provided, the chosen overload curve should fit between the two curves and the programmed Hot/Cold ratio is used
in the Thermal Capacity algorithm to take into account the thermal state of the motor. The best fitting 369 standard curve is 7
curve # 4, as seen in Figure 7–2: Motor Thermal Limits on page 7–9.
Short Circuit Trip
The short circuit trip should be set above the maximum locked rotor current but below the short circuit current of the fuses.
The data sheets indicate a maximum locked rotor current of 550% FLC or 5.5 × FLC. A setting of 6 × FLC with a instanta-
neous time delay will be ideal but nuisance tripping may result due to unusually high demanding starts or starts while the
load is coupled. If need be, set the S/C level higher to a maximum of 8 × FLC to override these conditions.
Mechanical Jam
If the process causes the motor to be prone to mechanical jams, set the Mechanical Jam Trip and Alarm accordingly. In
most cases, the overload trip will become active before the Mechanical Trip, however, if a high overload curve is chosen,
the Mechanical Jam level and time delay become more critical. The setting should then be set to below the overload curve
but above any normal overload conditions of the motor. The main purpose of the mechanical jam element is to protect the
driven equipment due to jammed, or broken equipment.
Undercurrent
If detection of loss of load is required for the specific application, set the undercurrent element according to the current that
will indicate loss of load. For example, this could be programmed for a pump application to detect loss of fluid in the pipe.
The 369 detects a stopped motor condition when the phase current falls below 5% of CT, and detects a starting motor con-
dition when phase current is sensed after a stopped motor condition. If the motor idles at 5% of CT, several starts and stops
can be detected causing nuisance lockouts if Starts/Hour, Time Between Starts, Restart Block, Start Inhibit, or Backspin
Timer are programmed. As well, the learned values, such as the Learned Starting Thermal Capacity, Learned Starting Cur-
rent and Learned Acceleration time can be incorrectly calculated.
To overcome this potential problem, the Spare Digital Input can be configured to read the status of the breaker and deter-
mine whether the motor is stopped or simply idling. With the spare input configured as Starter Status and the breaker auxil-
iary contacts wired across the spare input terminals, the 369 senses a stopped motor condition only when the phase
current is below 5% of CT (or zero) AND the breaker is open. If both of these conditions are not met, the 369 will continue
to operate as if the motor is running and the starting elements remain unchanged. Refer to the flowchart below for details of
how the 369 detects motor status and how the starter status element further defines the condition of the motor.
When the Starter Status is programmed, the type of breaker contact being used for monitoring must be set. The following
are the states of the breaker auxiliary contacts in relation to the breaker:
• 52a, 52aa - open when the breaker contacts are open and closed when the breaker contacts are closed
• 52b, 52bb - closed when the breaker contacts are open and open when the breaker contacts are closed

Thermal limits are not a black and white science and there is some art to setting a protective relay thermal model. The def-
inition of thermal limits mean different things to different manufacturers and quite often, information is not available. There-
fore, it is important to remember what the goal of the motor protection thermal modeling is: to thermally protect the motor
(rotor and stator) without impeding the normal and expected operating conditions that the motor will be subject to.
The thermal model of the 369 provides integrated rotor and stator heating protection. If cooling time constants are supplied
with the motor data they should be used. Since the rotor and stator heating and cooling is integrated into a single model,
use the longer of the cooling time constants (rotor or stator).
If however, no cooling time constants are provided, settings will have to be determined. Before determining the cool time
constant settings, the duty cycle of the motor should be considered. If the motor is typically started and run continuously for
very long periods of time with no overload duty requirements, the cooling time constants can be large. This would make the
thermal model conservative. If the normal duty cycle of the motor involves frequent starts and stops with a periodic overload
duty requirement, the cooling time constants will need to be shorter and closer to the actual thermal limit of the motor.
Normally motors are rotor limited during starting. Thus RTDs in the stator do not provide the best method of determining
cool times. Determination of reasonable settings for the running and stopped cool time constants can be accomplished in
one of the following manners listed in order of preference.
1. The motor running and stopped cool times or constants may be provided on the motor data sheets or by the manufac-
turer if requested. Remember that the cooling is exponential and the time constants are one fifth the total time to go
from 100% thermal capacity used to 0%.
2. Attempt to determine a conservative value from available data on the motor. See the following example for details.
3. If no data is available an educated guess must be made. Perhaps the motor data could be estimated from other motors
of a similar size or use. Note that conservative protection is better as a first choice until a better understanding of the
motor requirements is developed. Remember that the goal is to protect the motor without impeding the operating duty
that is desired.
EXAMPLE:
Motor data sheets state that the starting sequence allowed is 2 cold or 1 hot after which you must wait 5 hours before
attempting another start.
• This implies that under a normal start condition the motor is using between 34 and 50% thermal capacity. Hence, two
consecutive starts are allowed, but not three (i.e. 34 × 3 > 100).
• If the hot and cold curves or a hot/cold safe stall ratio are not available program 0.5 (1 hot / 2 cold starts) in as the hot/
cold ratio.
Programming Start Inhibit ‘On’ makes a restart possible as soon as 62.5% (50 × 1.25) thermal capacity is available.
7 •
• After 2 cold or 1 hot start, close to 100% thermal capacity will be used. Thermal capacity used decays exponentially
(see 369 manual section on motor cooling for calculation). There will be only 37% thermal capacity used after 1 time
constant which means there is enough thermal capacity available for another start. Program 60 minutes (5 hours) as
the stopped cool time constant. Thus after 2 cold or 1 hot start, a stopped motor will be blocked from starting for 5
hours.
Since the rotor cools faster when the motor is running, a reasonable setting for the running cool time constant might be half
the stopped cool time constant or 150 minutes.

The overload element uses a Thermal Capacity algorithm to determine an overload trip condition. The extent of overload
current determines how fast the Thermal Memory is filled, i.e. if the current is just over FLC × O/L Pickup, Thermal Capacity
slowly increases; versus if the current far exceeds the FLC pickup level, the Thermal Capacity rapidly increases. An over-
load trip occurs when the Thermal Capacity Used reaches 100%.
The overload current does not necessarily have to pass the overload curve for a trip to take place. If there is Thermal
Capacity already built up, the overload trip will occur much faster. In other words, the overload trip will occur at the specified
time on the curve only when the Thermal Capacity is equal to zero and the current is applied at a stable rate. Otherwise, the
Thermal Capacity increases from the value prior to overload, until a 100% Thermal Capacity is reached and an overload
trip occurs.
It is important to chose the overload curve correctly for proper protection. In some cases it is necessary to calculate the
amount of Thermal Capacity developed after a start. This is done to ensure that the 369 does not trip the motor prior to the
completion of a start. The actual filling of the Thermal Capacity is the area under the overload current curve. Therefore, to
calculate the amount of Thermal Capacity after a start, the integral of the overload current most be calculated. Below is an
example of how to calculate the Thermal Capacity during a start:
Thermal Capacity Calculation:
1. Draw lines intersecting the acceleration curve and the overload curve. This is illustrated in Figure 7–6: Thermal Limit
Curves on page 7–18.
2. Determine the time at which the drawn line intersect, the acceleration curve and the time at which the drawn line inter-
sects the chosen overload curve.
3. Integrate the values that have been determined.
Therefore, after this motor has completed a successful start, the Thermal Capacity would have reached approximately
40%.

The Start Inhibit element of the 369 provides an accurate and reliable start protection without unnecessary prolonged lock-
out times causing production down time. The lockout time is based on the actual performance and application of the motor
and not on the worst case scenario, as other start protection elements.
The 369 Thermal Capacity algorithm is used to establish the lockout time of the Start Inhibit element. Thermal Capacity is a
percentage value that gives an indication of how hot the motor is and is derived from the overload currents (as well as
Unbalance currents and RTDs if the respective biasing functions are enabled). The easiest way to understand the Thermal
Modeling function of the 369 is to image a bucket that holds Thermal Capacity. Once this imaginary bucket is full, an over-
load trip occurs. The bucket is filled by the amount of overload current integrated over time and is compared to the pro-
grammed overload curve to obtain a percentage value. The thermal capacity bucket is emptied based on the programmed
running cool time when the current has fallen below the Full Load Current (FLC) and is running normally.
Upon a start, the inrush current is very high, causing the thermal capacity to rapidly increase. The Thermal Capacity Used
variable is compared to the amount of the Thermal Capacity required to start the motor. If there is not enough thermal
capacity available to start the motor, the 369 blocks the operator from starting until the motor has cooled to a level of ther-
mal capacity to successfully start.
Assume that a motor requires 40% Thermal Capacity to start. If the motor was running in overload prior to stopping, the
thermal capacity would be some value; say 80%. Under such conditions the 369 (with Start Inhibit enabled) will lockout or
prevent the operator from starting the motor until the thermal capacity has decreased to 60% so that a successful motor
start can be achieved. This example is illustrated in Figure 7–7: Illustration of the Start Inhibit Functionality on page 7–19.
The lockout time is calculated as follows:
TCused
lockout time = stopped_cool_time_constant × ln -------------------------------------------- (EQ 7.1)
100 – TClearned
where:
TC_used = Thermal Capacity Used
TC_learned = Learned Thermal Capacity required to start
stopped_cool_time = one of two variables will be used:
1. Learned cool time is enabled, or
2. Programmed stopped cool time
The learned start capacity is updated every four starts. A safe margin is built into the calculation of the LEARNED START
CAPACITY REQUIRED to ensure successful completion of the longest and most demanding starts. The Learned Start
Capacity is calculated as follows:
Start_TC1 + Start_TC2 + Start_TC3 + Start_TC4 + Start_TC5
LEARNED START CAPACITY = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (EQ 7.2)

where: Start_TC1 = the thermal capacity required for the first start
Start_TC2 = the thermal capacity required for the second start, etc.

7.6.7 2Φ CT CONFIGURATION
This section illustrates how to use two CTs to sense three phase currents.
The proper configuration for using two CTs rather than three to detect phase current is shown below. Each of the two CTs
acts as a current source. The current from the CT on phase ‘A’ flows into the interposing CT on the relay marked ‘A’. From
there, the it sums with the current flowing from the CT on phase ‘C’ which has just passed through the interposing CT on
the relay marked ‘C’. This ‘summed’ current flows through the interposing CT marked ‘B’ and splits from there 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' for the sum of all the vectors to equate to zero. Note that there is only one ground connection. Making two ground
connections creates a parallel path for the current

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.
The 50:0.025 ground fault input is designed for sensitive detection of faults on a high resistance grounded system. Detec-
tion of ground currents from 1 to 10 A primary translates to an input of 0.5 mA to 5 mA into the 50:0.025 tap. Understanding
this allows the use of this input in a simple manner for the detection of ground faults on ungrounded systems.
The following diagram illustrates how to use a wye-open delta voltage transformer configuration to detect phase grounding.
Under normal conditions, the net voltage of the three phases that appears across the 50:0.025 input and the resistor is
close to zero. Under a fault condition, assuming the secondaries of the VTs to be 69 V, the net voltage seen by the relay
and the resistor is 3Vo or 3 × 69 V = 207 V.

or
( V AB = V comp + V return ) and V CB = V hot + V RTD + V return (EQ 7.4)
The above holds true providing that all three leads are the same length, gauge, and material, hence the same resistance.
R LeadA = R LeadB = R LeadC = R Lead (EQ 7.5)
or
7 R comp = R return = R hot = R Lead (EQ 7.6)
Electronically, subtracting VAB from VBC leaves only the voltage across the RTD. In this manner lead length is effectively
negated:
V CB – V AB = ( V Lead + V RTD + V Lead ) – ( V Lead + V Lead )
(EQ 7.7)
V CB – V AB = V RTD
The 369 requires three leads to be brought back from each RTD: Hot, Return, and Compensation. In certain situations this
can be quite expensive. However, it is possible to reduce the number of leads so that three are required for the first RTD
and only one for each successive RTD. Refer to the following diagram for wiring configuration.

The 369 Motor Management Relay supports Profibus-DP protocol as slave that can be read and written to, from a Profibus-
DP master which can read DMD file in the form of 369_xxxx.gs* files.
The relay supports the following configurations and indications:
• Fieldbus type: PROFIBUS-DP EN 50170 (DIN 19245) Part 3.
• Extended functions supported: Diagnostics Data via mailbox telegram.
• Auto baud rate detection 9.6Kbit - 12Mbit.
• Address range: 1-126, setting via 369PC Program or front keypad.
• Input data: 220 bytes - cyclical.
• Diagnostic data: 26 bytes - non-cyclical.
See Section 9.2: Profibus Protocol on page 9–3 for complete details.
The 369 implements a subset of the AEG Modicon Modbus RTU serial communication standard. Many popular program-
mable controllers support this protocol directly with a suitable interface card allowing direct connection of relays. Although
the Modbus protocol is hardware independent, the 369 interfaces include three 2-wire RS485 ports and one RS232 port.
Modbus is a single master, multiple slave protocol suitable for a multi-drop configuration as provided by RS485 hardware.
In this configuration up to 32 slaves can be daisy-chained together on a single communication channel.
The 369 is always a slave. It cannot be programmed as a master. Computers or PLCs are commonly programmed as mas-
ters. The Modbus protocol exists in two versions: Remote Terminal Unit (RTU, binary) and ASCII. Only the RTU version is
supported by the 369. Monitoring, programming and control functions are possible using read and write register com-
mands. See Section 9.3: Modbus RTU Protocol on page 9–9 for complete details.
MODBUS/TCP OPTION:
When configured with the “E” Option, the 369 can connect to Ethernet networks via RJ45 connection using the Modbus/
TCP protocol as detailed in the document “Open Modbus / TCP Specification” by Andy Swales, Release 1.0, 29 March
1999 (a search via the internet can produce a free copy of this document).
This description contains information to the location of Setting registers for configuring the 369 for a LAN connection, and
the physical connection of the 369. Information pertaining to the application of an IED over Ethernet is beyond the scope of
this manual and the user should consult their Network Administrator for configuration details.
The implementation of this option is for the intention of data retrieval and device configuration. The 369
does not support firmware upgrade via this connection.
NOTE
SETPOINTS CONFIGURATION:
The user needs to configure the following settings for interface to a LAN: IP ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, and GATEWAY
ADDRESS. Each setting contains 4 octets. The user configures the octets as shown in the following example:
IP ADDRESS: "127.0.0.1"
SUBNET MASK: "255.255.255.252"
GATEWAY ADDRESS: "127.0.0.1"
These settings can also be configured via the keypad under the S1 369 SETUP """ 369 COMMUNICATIONS path.
PHYSICAL CONNECTION:
The 369 can be connected to an Ethernet LAN via the RJ45 adaptor at the back of the 369 using the following connections:
The 369 Motor Management Relay supports mandatory parametrization. The relay keeps its user parameter data / set-
points in a non-volatile memory and does not need device related parametrization during startup of the DP master. The
enerVista 369 Setup software is the best tool for user parametrization of the 369 device.
The Profibus-DP basic configuration has one DP master and one DP slave. In a typical bus segment up to 32 stations can
be connected (a repeater has to be used if more then 32 stations operate on a bus). The end nodes on a Profibus-DP net-
work must be terminated to avoid reflections on the bus line. If the 369 Motor Management Relay is used as the first or last
module in a network the on-board termination switch has to be in the On position (default is Off), or an external termination
connector has to be used. To change the 369 Profibus on-board switch to the On position, turn off control power to the relay
and remove the four screws holding the rear cover of the relay and the two screws holding the Profibus on-board card. On
the Profibus card, change the S1 switch to the On position.
The bus address for the relay as Profibus-DP node can be set using the S1 369 SETUP " 369 COMMUNICATIONS " PROFI-
BUS ADDRESS setpoint or via the enerVista 369 Setup software, which extends address range from 1 to 126. Address 126
is used only for commissioning purposes and should not be used to exchange user data.
The media for the fieldbus is a twisted pair copper cable along with 9-pin SUB-D connector, which connects the bus to the
369 socket on the back of the relay. The 369 Motor Management Relay has autobaud support. The baud rates and other
slave specific information needed for configuration are contained in 369_090C.gs* which is used by a network configura-
tion program.
The 369 Motor Management Relay as a DP slave transfers fast process data to the DP master according to master-slave
principle. The 369 Motor Management Relay is a modular device, supporting up to 8 input modules.
During the configuration session, all modules have to be selected in order to get the entire area of 110 words of input data.
There are no output data for processing. The following diagram shows the possible DP Master Class 2 configuration menu:

Figure 9–2: SLAVE CONFIGURATION
The 369 Motor Management Relay supports both slave mandatory (6 bytes system-wide standardized) and slave specific
diagnostic data. If the diagnostics are considered hi-priority, the PLC/host program will be informed of the fault (alarm or
trip) and can call a special error routine. The extended diagnosis for the relay is composed of 26 bytes (bytes 7 to 32) and
contains diagnostic information according to the following table.

9.3MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL 9.3.1 DATA FRAME FORMAT AND DATA RATE
One data frame of an asynchronous transmission to or from an 369 is default to 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. This
produces a 10 bit data frame. This is important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit data frames are
not supported by Hayes modems at bit rates of greater than 300 bps). The parity bit is optional as odd or even. If it is pro-
grammed as odd or even, the data frame consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit.
Modbus protocol can be implemented at any standard communication speed. The 369 RS485, fiber optic and RS232 ports
support operation at 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 baud.
A complete request/response sequence consists of the following bytes (transmitted as separate data frames):
Master Request Transmission:
SLAVE ADDRESS - 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE - 1 byte
DATA - variable number of bytes depending on FUNCTION CODE
CRC - 2 bytes
Slave Response Transmission:
SLAVE ADDRESS - 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE - 1 byte
DATA - variable number of bytes depending on FUNCTION CODE
CRC - 2 bytes
SLAVE ADDRESS: This is the first byte of every transmission. It represents the user-assigned address of the slave device
that is to receive the message sent by the master. Each slave device must be assigned a unique address and only the
addressed slave will respond to a transmission that starts with its address. In a master request transmission the SLAVE
ADDRESS represents the address of the slave to which the request is being sent. In a slave response transmission the
SLAVE ADDRESS represents the address of the slave that is sending the response. Note: A master transmission with a
SLAVE ADDRESS of 0 indicates a broadcast command. Broadcast commands can be used for specific functions.
FUNCTION CODE: This is the second byte of every transmission. The modbus protocol defines function codes of 1 to 127.
The 369 implements some of these functions. In a master request transmission the FUNCTION CODE tells the slave what
action to perform. In a slave response transmission if the FUNCTION CODE sent from the slave is the same as the FUNC-
TION CODE sent from the master indicating the slave performed the function as requested. If the high order bit of the
FUNCTION CODE sent from the slave is a 1 (i.e. if the FUNCTION CODE is > 127) then the slave did not perform the func-
tion as requested and is sending an error or exception response.
DATA: This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the FUNCTION CODE. This may be actual values, setpoints,
or addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master. Data is sent MSByte first followed by the LSByte.
CRC: This is a two byte error checking code. CRC is sent LSByte first followed by the MSByte.
The RTU version of Modbus includes a two byte CRC-16 (16 bit cyclic redundancy check) with every transmission. The
CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored) as one continuous
binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16 bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the transmission, LSByte first. The
resulting message including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no
transmission errors have occurred. 9
If an 369 Modbus slave device receives a transmission in which an error is indicated by the CRC-16 calculation, the slave
device will not respond to the transmission. A CRC-16 error indicates than one or more bytes of the transmission were
received incorrectly and thus the entire transmission should be ignored in order to avoid the 369 performing any incorrect
operation.
The CRC-16 calculation is an industry standard method used for error detection. An algorithm is included here to assist
programmers in situations where no standard CRC-16 calculation routines are available.
Once the following algorithm is complete, the working register "A" will contain the CRC value to be transmitted. Note that
this algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The MSbit of the characteristic polynomial is
dropped since it does not affect the value of the remainder. The following symbols are used in the algorithm:
--> data transfer
A 16 bit working register
AL low order byte of A
AH high order byte of A
CRC 16 bit CRC-16 value
i, j loop counters
(+) logical exclusive or operator
Di i-th data byte (i = 0 to N-1)
G 16 bit characteristic polynomial = 1010000000000001 with MSbit dropped and bit order
reversed
shr(x) shift right (the LSbit of the low order byte of x shifts into a carry flag, a '0' is shifted into the
MSbit of the high order byte of x, all other bits shift right one location
The algorithm is as follows:
1. FFFF hex --> A
2. 0 --> i
3. 0 --> j
4. Di (+) AL --> AL
5. j+1 --> j
6. shr(A)
7. is there a carry? No: go to 8.
Yes: G (+) A --> A
8. is j = 8? No: go to 5.
Yes: go to 9.
9. i+1 --> i
10. is i = N? No: go to 3.
Yes: go to 11.
11. A --> CRC
9.3.5 TIMING
Data packet synchronization is maintained by timing constraints. The receiving device must measure the time between the
reception of characters. If three and one half character times elapse without a new character or completion of the packet,
then the communication link must be reset (i.e. all slaves start listening for a new transmission from the master). Thus at
9600 baud a delay of greater than 3.5 × 1 / 9600 × 10 = 3.65 ms will cause the communication link to be reset.
When an 369 detects an error other than a CRC error, a response will be sent to the master. The MSbit of the FUNCTION
CODE byte will be set to 1 (i.e. the function code sent from the slave will be equal to the function code sent from the master
plus 128). The following byte will be an exception code indicating the type of error that occurred.
Transmissions received from the master with CRC errors will be ignored by the 369.
The slave response to an error (other than CRC error) will be:
SLAVE ADDRESS - 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE - 1 byte (with MSbit set to 1)
EXCEPTION CODE - 1 byte
CRC - 2 bytes
The 369 implements the following exception response codes.
01 - ILLEGAL FUNCTION
The function code transmitted is not one of the functions supported by the 369.
02 - ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS
The address referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not an allowable address for the 369.
03 - ILLEGAL DATA VALUE
The value referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not within range for the selected data address.
The data stored in the 369 is grouped as setpoints and actual values. Setpoints can be read and written by a master com-
puter. Actual Values are read-only. All setpoints and actual values are stored as two-byte values. That is, each register
address is the address of a two-byte value. Addresses are listed in hexadecimal. Data values (setpoint ranges, increments,
factory values) are in decimal.
Many Modbus communications drivers add 40001d to the actual address of the register addresses. For
example: if address 0h was to be read, 40001d would be the address required by the Modbus communica-
NOTE
tions driver; if address 320h (800d) was to be read, 40801d would be the address required by the Modbus
communications driver.
The 369 has a powerful feature, called the User Definable Memory Map, which allows a computer to read up to 124 non-
consecutive data registers (setpoints or actual values) by using one Modbus packet. It is often necessary for a master com-
puter to continuously poll various values in each of the connected slave relays. If these values are scattered throughout the
memory map, reading them would require numerous transmissions and would burden the communication link. The User
Definable Memory Map can be programmed to join any memory map address to one in the block of consecutive User Map
locations, so that they can be accessed by reading these consecutive locations.
The User Definable area has two sections:
1. A Register Index area (memory map addresses 0180h-01FCh) that contains 125 Actual Values or Setpoints registers.
2. A Register area (memory map addresses 0100h-017Ch) that contains the data at the addresses in the Register Index.
Register data that is separated in the rest of the memory map may be remapped to adjacent register addresses in the User
Definable Registers area. This is accomplished by writing to register addresses in the User Definable Register Index area.
This allows for improved through-put of data and can eliminate the need for multiple read command sequences. For exam-
ple, if the values of Average Phase Current (register address 0306h) and Hottest Stator RTD Temperature (register address
0320h) are required to be read from an 369, their addresses may be remapped as follows:
1. Write 0306h to address 0180h (User Definable Register Index 0000) using function code 06 or 16.
2. Write 0320h to address 0181h (User Definable Register Index 0001) using function code 06 or 16.
A read (function code 03 or 04) of registers 0100h (User Definable Register 0000) will return the Phase A Current and reg-
ister 0101h (User Definable Register 0001) will return Hottest Stator RTD Temperature.
The 369 event recorder data starts at address 3000h. Address 3003h is a pointer to the event of interest (1 representing the
oldest event and 250 representing the latest event. To retrieve event 1, write ‘1’ to the Event Record Selector (3003h) and
read the data from 3004h to 3022h. To retrieve event 2, write ‘2’ to the Event Record Selector (3003h) and read the data
from 3004h to 3022h. All 250 events may be retrieved in this manner. The time and date stamp of each event may be used
to ensure that all events have been retrieved in order without new events corrupting the sequence of events (event 1 should
be more recent than event 2, event 2 should be more recent than event 3, etc.).
The 369 stores 16 cycles of A/D samples each time a trip occurs in a trace buffer. The Trace Memory Trigger is set up in S1
Preferences and determines how many pre-trip and post-trip cycles are stored. The trace buffer is time and date stamped
9 and may be correlated to a trip in the event record. 7 waveforms are captured this way when a trip occurs. These are the 3
phase currents, ground current and 3 voltage waveforms. The last three captured records are retained by the 369. This
information is stored in volatile memory and will be lost if power is cycled to the relay.
To access the captured waveforms, select the captured record by writing to the Trace Memory Buffer Selector (address
30F5h), then select waveform of interest by writing its trace memory channel (see following table) to the Trace Memory
Channel Selector (address 30F6h). Then read the trace memory data from address 3100h to 31FFh. The values read are
in actual amperes or volts.
