IEC 60947-2.
The motor starter protector always remains closed in the event
of an overload. The overload release activates only two auxiliary
contacts (1 NO + 1 NC). The overload trip can be signaled to a
higher-level control with the help of these auxiliary contacts.
Generally, it is also possible to open a downstream contactor
directly.
The overload signal is reset automatically. The motor starter pro-
tector itself only trips if a short-circuit occurs downstream.

Short-circuit protection for starter combinations
The 3RV13 motor starter protectors for starter combinations in
sizes S0, S2 and S3 provide short-circuit protection with the help
of a contactor and overload relay combination.
Like the motor starter protectors for motor protection, they are
equipped with short-circuit releases which are permanently set
to a value equivalent to 13 times the rated current of the motor
starter protectors. They are not equipped with overload
releases.

The voltage transformer circuit breaker protects the secondary

side of voltage transformers used to connect protection equip-
ment with voltage-dependent starting. The circuit breaker is
used for distance protection with low-impedance starting. Spe-
cial auxiliary contacts reliably prevent low-impedance starting
from triggering distance protection if only one fault has occurred
in the transformer line.
The voltage transformer circuit breaker can also be used to
safely disconnect the distance protection device from the volt-
age transformer. In this case, the special auxiliary contacts also
prevent false tripping of the distance protection.
Additional fuses are not required. A "Fuse Failure Monitor" (FFM)
is also not required.

Tripping 1 NO + 1 NC The signal switch has two contact systems.

Short-circuit 1 NO + 1 NC One contact system always signals tripping irrespective of whether this was
caused by a short-circuit, an overload or an auxiliary trip unit. The other con-
tact system only switches in the event of a short-circuit. There is no signaling
as a result of switching off with the handle.
In order to be able to switch on the motor starter protector again after a
short-circuit, the signal switch must be reset manually after the error cause
has been eliminated.
The overall width of the signal switch is 18 mm.

short-circuit, it will be in tripped position. For reclosing, the re-
mote motorized operating mechanism must first be set manually
or electrically to the 0 position (electrically by means of the Open
command). Then it can be reclosed.
The remote motorized operating mechanism is available for mo-
tor starter protectors of size S2 (In max = 50 A) and S3
(In max = 100 A) that are designed for control voltages of

230 V AC and 24 V DC. The motor starter protector is fitted into

the remote motorized operating mechanism as shown in the
drawing.
In the "MANUAL" position, the motor starter protector in the re-
mote motorized operating mechanism can continue to be
switched manually on site. In the "AUTOMATIC" position, the mo-
tor starter protector is switched by means of electrical com-

mands. The switching command must be applied for a minimum

of 100 ms. The remote motorized operating mechanism closes
the motor starter protector after a maximum of 1 second. On volt-
age failure during the switching operation it is ensured that the
motor starter protector remains in the OPEN or CLOSED posi-

3RV Molded Case Motor Starter Protectors up to 800 A
General data
■ Overview
Type of construction
The molded case motor starter protectors are available
in 4 widths:
• 3RV13 53 – width 90 mm,
• 3RV1. 6. – width 105 mm,
• 3RV1. 7. – width 140 mm,
• 3RV1. 83 – width 210 mm,
The 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors for up to 800 A
can be mounted in horizontal, vertical or lying arrangement di-
rectly on a mounting plate or mounting rail. Their rated data are
adversely affected as the result.
The phase barriers for better insulation between the phases are
included in the scope of supply.
The motor starter protectors can be supplied through top and
3RV10 63-7AL10 molded case motor starter protector bottom terminals without impairing their function, enabling them
to be installed in any type of switchgear without any further

up to 800 A are compact, current-limiting motor starter protec-

tors which can be used above all in load feeders for special volt-
ages of 440 V, 480 V, 550 V and 690 V. They are used for switch-
ing and protecting induction motors and other loads with rated
currents up to 800 A.

Trip classes Safe switch position
The trip classes of thermally delayed trip units are based on the The toggle lever indicates tripping by adopting the "Tripped" po-
tripping time (tA) at 7.2 times the set current in cold state (ex- sition. To prevent switching onto an existing fault, the lever must
cerpt from IEC 60947-4): be moved by hand to the 0 position prior to switching on again.
• CLASS 10A: 2 s < tA < 10 s Only then can the molded case motor starter protector be
switched on again.
• CLASS 10: 4 s < tA < 10 s
• CLASS 20: 6 s < tA < 20 s
• CLASS 30: 9 s < tA < 30 s
The molded case motor starter protector must trip within this
time!
With the 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors (100 A to
630 A) which are equipped with the TU 4 trip unit, all four trip
classes are possible.

• On overload, the overload relay triggers the contactor,
the motor starter protector remains closed.
• Only when a short-circuit occurs in the feeder does the motor
starter protector trip as well.
The molded case motor starter protectors for starter combina-
tions must always be used in combination with an overload relay
because the motor starter protector alone cannot protect the
motor and itself against overload.

Connection methods
The 3RB20 and 3RB21 relays are available with screw terminals
(box terminals) or spring-type terminals on the auxiliary current
side; the same applies for the evaluation modules of the
3RB22/3RB23 relays.
The 3RU11 relays come with screw terminals.

3RB22, 3RB23 for high-feature applications
■ Overview
The modular, solid-state overload relays with external power
supply type 3RB22 (with monostable auxiliary contacts) and
type 3RB23 (with bistable auxiliary contacts) up to 630 A (up to
820 A possible with a series transformer) have been designed
for inverse-time delayed protection of loads with normal and
1 heavy starting (see "Function") against excessive temperature
rises due to overload, phase unbalance or phase failure. An
2 9 overload, phase unbalance or phase failure result in an increase
of the motor current beyond the set rated motor current. This cur-
3 rent rise is detected by means of a current measuring module
5
and electronically evaluated by a special evaluation module
4 which is connected to it. The evaluation electronics sends a sig-
5 nal to the auxiliary contacts. The auxiliary contacts then switch

Overload Relays
The tripping characteristics show the relationship between the Tripping characteristics for 3-pole loads

setting Ie and are given for symmetrical three-pole and two-pole 1000

loads from the cold state.
600
The smallest current used for tripping is called the minimum trip- 400
Tripping time
ping current. According to IEC 60947-4-1, this current must be s
within specified limits. The limits of the minimum tripping current 200
for the 3RB22/3RB23 solid-state overload relays for symmetrical
three-pole loads lie between 105 and 120 % of the current
setting. 100
80
The tripping characteristic starts with the minimum tripping cur- 60
rent and continues with higher tripping currents based on the 40
characteristics of the so-called trip classes (CLASS 10,
CLASS 20 etc.). The trip classes describe time intervals within 20 CLASS 30
which the overload relays have to trip with 7.2 times the current
setting Ie from the cold state for symmetrical three-pole loads. CLASS 20
10
The tripping times according to IEC 60947-4-1, 8

tolerance band E, are as follows for:

Compared with a cold load, a load at operating temperature ob- 200

3RB22/3RB23 solid-state overload relays is reduced therefore to
