Motor Protective Relay K2CM CSM_K2CM_DS_E_6_1 Solid-state Relay Enables Choice of Three Operating Functions (Overcurrent, Openphase, and Reverse-phase) • Protects 3-phase induction motors and their loads from damage. • Selection and combination of operating functions from overcurrent, open-phase, and reverse-phase. • Circuit and output relay operation can be checked by just operating the test button. • The set time value can be checked easily because operation time is indicated from the start of operation. • Space-saving, integrated construction. Note: If the K2CM is used with an inverter, the operating conditions will depend on the load wiring length, inverter carrier frequency, basic frequency, and load conditions. Error will occur in the operating values of the overload elements. It is recommended to test operation before using the K2CM. Model Number Structure ■ Model Number Legend K2CM-@@@-@@ 1 2 3 4 5 6 5.

The motor’s current signal is detected by the current transformer and is processed separately for each phase and input to the respective circuits. In each circuit, parallel judgement of failure such as overcurrent, open-phase, or reverse-phase (see note) is made based on the input signals. If a failure is detected in a circuit, the circuit’s output is input to the indication circuit to illuminate the corresponding LED indicator and also input to the relay drive circuit to drive relay X, resulting in a trip signal to be externally output from it. The three major circuits are described below. Reset button Rectifier/smoothing circuit Inverse and Instantaneous Types 1) Overcurrent Circuit Overcurrent Detecting Circuit Starting Time Setting Circuit (Instantaneous Type) This circuit detects when the current reaches the overcurrent operating level (115% of the set current value). This circuit performs time setting using the VR for setting the start-up lock time and obtains fixed time-limit characteristics using an RC time-limiting circuit. Time Setting Circuit (Inverse Type) This circuit performs time setting using the VR (variable resistor) for the operating time setting and obtains inverse-type characteristics using an RC time-limiting circuit. The operating time can be set within a range from 2 to 10 s or 8 to 40 s by operating the setting switch using a VR. The VR covers a time range 5 times the standard range. Start-up Detecting Circuit (Instantaneous Type) Instantaneous-type models output a trip signal instantaneously when the motor current exceeds the overcurrent operating value (115% of the set current value). At the start of motor operation, a starting current several times the rated current flows and so to prevent the motor circuit being tripped by the starting current, instantaneous operation is not enabled until a fixed time tc has elapsed, as shown in the figure. Instantaneous operation starts after tc has elapsed. Motor starting time “to” varies, depending on motor type, within a range from several seconds to several tens of seconds. There are even slight differences in starting time between the same type of motors and so be sure to set tc so that to to<tc is satisfied. If to>tc, the motor circuit will be tripped after tc has elapsed. The fixed time limit tc at the start of motor operation is called “lock time”. The start-up detecting circuit detects the starting operation level (30% max. of the set current time). Operation at start-up is shown in the figure below. After the motor turns ON at point A, the motor’s starting current exceeds the start-up operating value and so the RC time-limiting circuit starts charging. If, for example, the motor current descends below the start-up operating value (30% max. of the set current value) at point B before the start-up lock time, tc, has elapsed, the RC time-limiting circuit is reset immediately and when the motor current rises above the start-up operating value again at point C, the RC time-limiting circuit starts charging again. After the start-up lock time has elapsed (at point D), instantaneous operation is enabled. At the start of operation, the motor current is at its peak immediately after operation starts. It then lowers and settles at the rated current. The peak current is about 5 to 6 times the rated current and takes from several seconds to several tens of seconds to settle to the rated current. This time varies largely depending on type of motor and the nature of motor load (wt). Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the motor’s starting time for operation with the load and to set a start-up lock time that allows for a margin of error. Do not set an unnecessarily long start-up lock time. If the startup lock time is too long and an accident due to overcurrent occurs at the start of operation, the trip signal will not be output until the startup lock time has elapsed, possibly resulting in motor burnout. Overcurrent operating value Start-up operating value Overcurrent operating value Motor current to Start to: Motor's starting time tc: Lock time at start of operation tc Instantaneous operation enabled Operating mode Motor current A B C tc Operation mode Start D E F tc G * ** * Start H tc * ** Start Output *: Fixed time-limit operation tc: Start-up lock time **: Instantaneous operation enabled Trip Fixed time-limit operation 6 K2CM 2) Open-phase Circuit T phase 1.0 Open-phase Level Detecting Circuit "Low" Open-phase Maximum phase of switch current: R phase = 1.0 "High" This circuit detects when the current reaches the open-phase operating level (85% max. of the set current value). Therefore, open-phase is not detected until the maximum phase of the current exceeds 85% of the set current value. The following imbalance factors can be selected by setting the openphase switch. “High” . . .Operating imbalance factor: 35 ±10% “Low” . . .Operating imbalance factor: 60% min. The imbalance factor can be easily obtained from the following graph. In the graph, the horizontal axis indicates the maximum phase of the current whereas the two vertical axes indicate the remaining two phases. The maximum phase of the current is taken to be 1.0 as a reference point. The imbalance factor is obtained as a percentage from the curve around the center of the graph. Obtain the imbalance factor for a motor current with IR = 100 A, IS = 70 A, and IT = 60 A as follows: 1. On the R axis, locate point A, where IR = 1.0. "Low" operating area Non-operating area A 25% Open-phase Detecting Circuit Output of the maximum value detecting circuit is divided and used as reference values for comparison with the output of the rectifier/ smoothing circuits for the respective phases. If a phase has a value lower than the reference value, the K2CM judges it to be open-phase and outputs an open-phase signal. "High" operating area 35% 0.5 60% 0 0.5 1.0 S phase 3) Reverse-phase Circuit 1. Current Reverse-phase Detection Models Reverse-phase Level Detecting Circuit This circuit detects whether the current is in the operating level (50% max. of the set current value) as a precondition to detect the reversephase. 2. Move from point A to point B, where IS = 0.7 on the S axis. Reverse-phase Detecting Circuit 3. On the T axis, locate point C, where IT = 0.6. The current reverse-phase detecting method is employed for detecting reverse-phase as shown below. After the motor starts operating, the current phase becomes transiently unstable during T1 (approx. 0.4 s) and so reverse-phase detection is not performed during this period but it is performed during T2 (approx. 0.1 s). After T2 has elapsed, reverse-phase detection is not performed. For this reason, this method cannot be applied to cases where instantaneous reverse-phase is not permitted. When a reverse-phase is detected, the relay is held in the latched state even after the motor current stops (in both manual and automatic release types). 4. Follow the curves that pass through points B and C and locate the intersection point D. 5. Locating the point corresponding to point D on the imbalance factor curve gives an imbalance factor of 36%. Take the maximum phase of current on the horizontal axis without considering axes R, S, and T. 1.6 1.6 1.5 1.5 1.4 1.4 1.3 1.3 1.2 1.2 1.1 1.1 1.0 1.0 0.9 0.9 Start Motor T1 T2 Non-detecting area Detecting area 0.7 Point B 10.0 15.0 Point C 0.6 0.6 20.0 25.0 0.5 0.5 30.0 35.0 Point D 40.0 45.0 50.0 55.0 60.0 65.0 70.0 75.0 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 R (S, T) Reverse-phase Detecting Circuit Reverse-phase detecting is performed by using the voltage reversephase detection method. 0.4 0.3 0.2 U V 0.1 80.0 85.0 90.0 95.0 0.1 2.

In such a case, set the open-phase switch to the “Low” position. If using the motor in an imbalanced condition causes problems, or when detecting internal open-phases of a delta-connected motor, set the switch to the “High” position. Depending on the motor’s load condition and the imbalance of the power supply, however, special consideration may be required for the detection of internal open-phases in delta-connected motors. Consult your OMRON representative before using this method. When a transformer is connected as a load, the harmonics increase at low loads. Therefore, in such a case, set the open-phase switch to the “Low” position. By voltage division within the above RC phase circuit, the output becomes 0 V in the normal state or 1.5 Vuv in the reverse-phase state. Using the output from this circuit, the reverse-phase level detecting circuit detects when the current reaches the reverse-phase operating level (80% or less of the control power supply). 7 K2CM Nomenclature Trip Indicator In normal operation, only the upper half of the display window is colored orange, whereas when the motor circuit has tripped, the entire display window becomes orange. 10 (side) 9 8 7 6 Current-setting Knob • By operating the setting knob, set the current value to be equal to the rated current of the motor to be used. The current-setting knob uses the same scale as the rated current. Therefore, the operating value will be 115% of the set current value. Example: Operating current value = 12 × 1.15 (115%) = 13.8 A • The List of Current Settings shows an example. The rated current differs depending on the motor’s type, construction, manufacturer, etc. Therefore, set the operating current after checking the specifications of the motor. Time-setting knob* Test Button Reset Button Inverse Type • With manual resetting models, when the motor circuit trips during normal operation or test operation, the operation indicators and the output relay can be immediately reset by pressing the reset button. • When the motor circuit trips due to reverse-phase with automatic resetting models, the operation indicators and the output relay can be immediately reset by pressing the reset button. • Reset button operation is ineffective when the operation power supply is OFF. When the motor circuit trips during normal operation, identify the abnormal input function by checking the LED indicators, then turn OFF the power switch of the main circuit and proceed with troubleshooting. After the abnormality is removed, turn ON the power switch of the main circuit to reset the K2CM. • Operation checks of the overcurrent function can be performed. • Pressing the test button for the time-setting value will cause the motor circuit to trip. • With manual resetting models, even if the test button is released after the motor circuit has tripped, the circuit remains tripped, whereas with automatic resetting models, the motor circuit continues operating and the output relay releases. • Be sure to perform the test operation with the overcurrent switch set to ON. Set both the open-phase and reverse-phase switches to OFF. If one of these switches is set to ON, the motor circuit may trip if an open-phase or reverse-phase occurs before an overcurrent does. Instantaneous Type • Perform the test operation with input current at 0 and the overcurrent switch set to ON. • Pressing the test button for the set start-up lock time will cause the motor circuit to trip. • With manual resetting models, even if the test button is released after the motor circuit has tripped, the circuit remains tripped, whereas with automatic resetting models, the motor circuit continues operating and the output relay releases. Time-setting Knob • Set the required operating time by operating the time-setting knob. (With instantaneous-type models, the set operating time is used as the start-up lock time). Note: 1. The setting scale is the operating time when 600% of the current value is input. 2. The required operating time varies depending on the type of motor, load condition, etc. You can take the time from when the motor starts to when the motor enters the steady state as a guide for setting this value. When setting the operating time for submersible motors, which require very short operating times, consult the manufacturer to obtain the correct operating time. An operating time shorter than 5 s can be used as a rough guide. • The scale multiplying factor can be selected by the time scale multiplying factor switch. Scale Time scale multiplying multiplying factor factor switch Time scale value × 1 (s) × 4 (s) 2 2 8 3 3 12 4 4 16 5 5 20 6 6 24 7 7 28 8 8 32 9 9 36 10 10 40 Deciding the Number of Primary Conductor Passes • When using a motor with a small current rating, decide the number of primary conductor passes through the current transformer holes and the tap setting by referring to the List of Current Settings. • Pass all the three wires through the respective holes of the current transformer. Basically, the wires should be passed through the specified holes. If this is difficult, however, they can be passed through any holes provided that the phase order is R, S, and T. 1 pass R S T 2 passes R S T • If the wires are passed through the holes only once, a current within the full scale of the current-setting knob can be set. If they are passed more than once, however, the current setting range will change according to the number of passes. The current setting range when the number of conductor passes is n can be obtained by dividing the full scale of the current-setting knob by n. For example, the current setting range of the K2CM-@@L@ is 8 to 26 A when the wires are passed only once. This range is 4 to 13 A when the wires are passed twice, 2 to 6.5 A when the wires are passed four times, and 1 to 3.25 A when the wires are passed eight times. The wires can be passed through the holes any number of times. It is convenient for the calculation, however, if the number of passes is 2, 4, or 8. • The signal from a high-voltage motor is input to the Motor Protective Relay via an external current transformer. In this case, the current can be set in the same manner as above by dividing the rated current of the high-voltage motor by the transformation ratio of the current transformer. 8 K2CM LED Indicators When the motor circuit trips due to overcurrent, open-phase, or reverse-phase, the respective LED indicator lights (continuously). The overcurrent indicator also indicates the start of operation. Reverse-phase detecting function ON Enabled OFF Disabled Reverse-phase polarity Normal The motor circuit trips at reversephase when a reverse-phase is detected. Reverse Used when a reverse-phase connection is made in the power line of the motor at a point before the current transformer (including external current transformer). Overcurrent operating value (115% of current-setting value) Motor current Bright Bright Dimmed Start Trip • With the inverse-type models, when the motor current exceeds the overcurrent operating value, the overcurrent indicator blinks at the bright level and then remains lit at the dimmed level. After the operating time has elapsed, with the manual resetting models, the motor circuit trips and the overcurrent indicator remains lit at the bright level, whereas with automatic resetting models, the indicator remains lit at the bright level until the motor current descends below the resetting value. • Since the indicator status is not stored in memory when the operation power supply is turned OFF, be sure to check which indicators were illuminated when the motor circuit was tripped. The functions of the K2CM can be used in the following seven combinations. For each function, turn ON the corresponding setting switch. Function Overcurrent Open-phase Reverse-phase Combination 1 ON 2 Phase condition Connections Normal R S T Reverse R S T Reverse R S T R S T (A) R S T R S Motor relay T (C) Motor relay (B) M M M Reverse-phase polarity switch position Normal Normal Normal Trip None Yes None Direction of motor rotation Forward Reverse (See below.)

Consult your OMRON representative for details. • When applying the K2CM to the protection of a high-voltage motor or low-voltage, high-capacity motor, use an external rectifier that does not saturate at currents up to 600% of the rated motor current and thus permits a large overcurrent; otherwise, the K2CM will output a tripping signal because of imbalanced operation when an overcurrent occurs and, with reverse-type models, the motor may be damaged by burning. • Never tamper with the trip indicator. Use the reset switch to reset the K2CM. • When a power failure occurs in the control power supply, the K2CM is not reset even when the reset switch is pressed. This is not an error. The K2CM can be reset only when control power is applied to it. • Be sure to remount the front cover after detaching it for operating or setting the switches on the front panel. • The rectifier and control circuits are combined by tightening the two screws on the right and left sides. Never loosen these screws. • The variable resistors used to make settings are equipped with mechanisms to stop them rotating outside the valid scale range. Do not rotate the variable resistors at a torque of 1 kg·cm or more. • When using the K2CM-@@@A (instantaneous, automatic resetting), be sure to apply power to the Motor Protective Relay from the same power line as the magnet contactor for switching the motor. • Be sure to provide the control power supply for the K2CM-@@@@V (voltage reverse-phase detection) from the same line as the motor. • If current reverse-phase detection models are used in a circuit with distorted current waveforms, the reverse-phase element may perform an unwanted operation. In such circuits, use of the K2CM@@@@V (voltage reverse-phase detection) is recommended because it is not affected at all by current waveform distortion. • The operation check using the test button is intended to check the operation of the overcurrent functions. Therefore, be sure to turn ON the overcurrent switch. Also, at this time, turn OFF the openphase switch and reverse-phase switch to prevent unnecessary operations from being performed. • The operating time of inverse-type models and the lock time of the instantaneous-type models depend upon the set operating time. Therefore, do not hold down the test button for more than the set operating time. • The reverse-phase can be detected in the wiring up to the current transformer (including an external current transformer). Check the wiring between the current transformer and the motor before starting the motor. • Current reverse-phase detection models cannot be used in applications that do not allow even momentary reversals of motor direction. • Jogging of the motor can be performed. For details, consult your OMRON representative. • When using the K2CM to control inching shorter than 0.5 s, the reverse-phase level detection circuit may operate. In this case, be sure to use the K2CM with the reverse-phase switch set to OFF. • The K2CM is basically intended to protect three-phase loads. Its overcurrent function, however, can also be applied to single-phase loads. In this case, the conductors can be passed through the holes in any direction and sequence. • When applying the K2CM to a circuit with a high imbalance factor due to the nature of the power supply or load, actually measure the imbalance factor and select the open-phase sensitivity accordingly (i.e., set the open-phase switch to either the high or low position). The K2CM cannot be used if the imbalance factor is 60% or higher. • When applying the K2CM to the protection of three-phase transformers, give consideration to the imbalance factor due to singlephase loads. Combination Function setting switches Overcurrent 1 2 Openphase ON 5 ON 6 ON 7 ON OFF ON ON ON ON ON ON OFF ON OFF NOTE Reversephase ON ON ON Openphase ON ON 3 4 LED indicators Reverse- Overcurphase rent OFF ON OFF ON ON If the inputs for combinations of two or more functions are simultaneously generated, the K2CM detects the inputs in the order reverse-phase, open-phase, overcurrent. Take combination 4 as an example. If the open-phase and overcurrent occur at the same time, there is insufficient time to detect the overcurrent because the open-phase is first detected and the K2CM outputs the tripping signal (causing the magnet contactor to turn off). Therefore, the overcurrent indicator does not light. 14 K2CM ■ Maintenance and Inspection The K2CM Motor Protective Relay offers very stable characteristics. To maintain these characteristics for a long time, the following inspections are recommended. Q&A Q What is the VA consumption of the CT section? Daily Inspection The consumption is 0.4 VA/phase max. for any CT section. The purpose of daily inspection is to discover causes of failure before using the Motor Protective Relay. This inspection depends somewhat on the perception of the operator as it includes visual checking, etc. Classification Inspection items Connections Loosening, damage, and dust collection at screw terminals, damage to wiring insulation sheaths, excessive force applied on wirings, adhesion of foreign objects to terminal screws Q As shown in the following figure, insert the K2CM and turn OFF the reverse-phase switch before using the K2CM. Motor Protective Relay Adhesion of foreign objects and dust to the operation panel, shift of set value, indication status of operation indicators and trip indicator, presence/absence of front cover, loosening of screws combining rectifier and control circuits, deformation of case, abnormal temperature on housing surface External rectifier What action is required if an inverter circuit is used? Inverter Motor • Always insert the K2CM on the secondary side (load side) of the inverter. Loosing of terminals, unusual odor, discoloration of surface Mounting location This inspection is performed by turning OFF the power at regular intervals to check the aging caused by long-time operation. It is recommended that periodic inspection is performed once a year. Inspection item Overcurrent NG Conditionally OK Open-phase NG Conditionally OK Reverse-phase NG NG • The current waveform on the inverter power supply side is distorted, so the K2CM may malfunction. Adhesion of dust and foreign objects to terminals, cracks in insulators around terminal block, burn damage to wirings, damage to setting knobs, selector switches, test button, and reset button, damage to insulators of solderless terminals, rust and discoloration of screw terminals Operating characteristics Inverter load • Error may occur in the operating values depending on the inverter specifications and settings. Set the values after performing tests and confirming operation. Motor Protective Relay Classification Inverter power supply Element Periodic Inspection Construction M K2CM • The inverter load side contains a large high-frequency component, so the K2CM may malfunction due to phase reversal. • Depending on the specifications and settings of the inverter, overloads and open phases may also cause the K2CM to malfunction. Refer to Testing Method. Insulation resistance Between terminals and mounting panel Operation check with test button Checking of operating time, operation indicators, and trip indicator Q What action is required if single phase is used? External Rectifier The following describes the operating procedure for using a single phase with the K2CM. Check for adhesion of dust and foreign objects, damage to wirings by burning, and loosening of mounting screws. • Connection Method Pass wires through any two of the three holes on the K2CM. K2CM M Motor • If a single phase is used, set the open-phase and reversephase switch to OFF. Make the overload settings so that they match the motor current. • Do not apply control power supply voltage between the VW terminals if a model with voltage reverse-phase detection is used.
