    169 Plus, including a latched trip relay, an alarm relay, and two auxiliary relays. The model 169 provides a latched trip relay and an alarm relay. All output relays may be programmed via the keypad to trip on specific types of faults or overloads.

  • Page 8: Typical Applications

    1.3 Typical Applications The many features of the 169 make it an ideal choice for a wide range of motor protection applications. Versatile features and controls allow the relay to protect associated mechanical equipment as well as the motor. The 169 should be considered for the following and other typical uses: Protection of motors and equipment from operator abuse.

    This board is accessed by removing the perforated cover on the rear of the unit. The switch must be correctly set before control power is applied to the 169. Maximum power consumption for the unit is 40 VA (AC version) or 30 W (DC version).

    The Trip output relay will remain latched after a trip. This means that once this relay has been activated it will remain in the active state until the 169 is manually reset. The Trip relay contacts may be reset by pressing the RESET key (see section 3.1) if motor conditions allow, or by using the Emergency Restart feature (see section 2.12).

  • Page 23: Auxiliary Relay #1 Contacts (169 Plus)

    RTDs used together with RTD trip and alarm temperatures must be programmed into the 169 (see sections 3.16, 3.17). The RTD type to be used must be specified when ordering the 169 relay. If the type of RTD in use is to be changed, the 169 must be returned to the factory.

    54 and 55. Momentarily shorting these terminals together will cause the thermal memory of the 169 to discharge to 0% (if RTD input to thermal memory is enabled, thermal memory can be reduced to 0% by keeping terminals 54 and 55 shorted together for more than 11 seconds; see section 3.20). The Emergency Restart terminals can thus be used to override an OVERLOAD TRIP.

    Only one type of relay trip can occur at any one time. However, a trip and an alarm or multiple alarms can occur at the same time. If this is the case the 169 relay display will show the TRIP/ALARM message for the trip or alarm with the highest priority.

    If more than 5 starts/hour are allowed this setpoint should be stored as "OFF". The relay starts/hour counter will be saved if power is lost to the unit. Note that the 169 relay must detect all motor start attempts (see section 3.8) in order for this function to operate correctly.

  • Page 68: Unbalance Setpoints

    For phase currents above 100% FLC, the 169 relay calculates the ratio of the negative to positive sequence currents (In/Ip) and uses this ratio in two separate protective functions . It is used to bias the thermal memory of the relay which represents the thermal capacity of the motor as a whole (this can be enabled in SETPOINTS mode, page 5, 169 Plus only), and it is used for separate unbalance protection.

  • Page 69: Ground Fault (Earth Leakage) Setpoints

    (time delays) may also be set. The ground fault trip can be instantaneous, or up to 20.0 seconds of time delay can be chosen to allow the 169 relay to be coordinated with other protective devices and switchgear.

    3.16 Stator RTD Setpoints The 169 relay has 6 sets of 4 terminals available for the connection of RTDs to monitor the temperature of the stator windings. If fewer than 6 RTDs are to be used they should be connected to the lowest numbered RTD connections on the rear of the relay.

  • Page 71: Other Rtd Setpoints

    3.17 Other RTD Setpoints A total of 8 RTD inputs is provided on the model 169 with 10 on the 169 Plus. Any RTD inputs not used for stator RTD protection can be used for other temperature monitoring functions. These will commonly be used for motor and load bearings.

    3 phase currents. The biasing factor is derived from the amount of negative sequence current flowing in the motor (on a 169 Plus if the U/B input to TC is enabled). The rate at which the memory fills is thus dependent on the amount of overload, unbalance present, as well as RTD bias.
  • Page 76 In this way the 169 provides increased accuracy in the thermal modeling of the protected motor. When RTD #8 (RTD #10 on the 169 Plus) is used for ambient air temperature monitoring even greater thermal protection is provided since the cooling air temperature is known. In this case the learned cool times are based on the difference between the ambient temperature and the average stator RTD temperature.

  • Page 77: Emergency Restart

    If the "ENABLE AUTO-RESET OF START TRIPS?" setpoint is enabled then the relay will automatically reset once the lockout time has elapsed. Before the 169 Plus relay has learned the actual Start Capacity required by the motor this value will default to 40%. 3.21 Emergency Restart When production or safety considerations become more important than motor protection requirements it may be necessary to restart a faulted motor.

    CTs. To do this a primary (high current) injection test set is required. Operation of the entire relay system, except the phase CTs can be checked by applying input signals to the 169 relay from a secondary injection test set as described in the following sections.

  • Page 84 GE Power Management 4 RELAY TESTING Figure 4-2 Secondary Injection Test Set (DC input to 169 relay)

  • Page 85: Ground Fault Current Functions

    The ground fault current function uses digital current information converted from the analog ground fault CT input. The 169 relay must read the injected ground fault current correctly in order for the ground fault function to operate properly. Using factory default setpoints to test the ground fault input circuitry, pass a phase current conductor through the ground fault CT window as shown in figure 4-1.

  • Page 86: Analog Current Output

    To test the operation of the 169 output relays and the switchgear connected to them the "EXERCISE: XXXXX RELAY" setpoint in page 6 of SETPOINTS mode can be used. The motor must be stopped in order for this function to operate.

  • Page 87: Hardware

    Three phase CTs are used to scale the incoming current signals to the 169 relay. The currents are then rectified and fed through fixed burdens to produce a voltage signal of 430 mV peak / FLC. This signal is then multiplexed. The multiplexed signal is buffered and fed to an A/D converter.

  • Page 93 Fail-safe - Refers to the configuration of an output relay. When a fail-safe relay is in the no trip/no alarm (inactive) state its coil will be energized (i.e. have a voltage across it). Thus when control power is removed from the 169 all fail-safe output relays will go to the active state.
