OMRON K2CM-2LSA

Motor Protective Relay
K2CM
CSM_K2CM_DS_E_5_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.

As shown on the right, the K2CM
detects abnormalities in motor M
by checking its line current. 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.

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.

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.

Open-phase Detecting Circuit
Output of the maximum value detecting circuit is divided and used as

and outputs an open-phase signal.

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.

Generally, in open-phase detection, detecting a complete openphase is sufficient. 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).

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

K2CM
Safety Precautions
■ Correct Use
• A power supply with a frequency other than commercial frequency
cannot be used as the control power supply.
• Use of circuits containing a high percentage of harmonics, such as
circuits incorporating SCR control circuits, VVVF inverters, or rectifiers, may cause errors and malfunctions. 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.

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.

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.

Inspection item
• 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

Checking of operating time, operation
indicators, and trip indicator
• 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.
• Using a K2MR is recommended to protect the inverter
motor.
Q
External Rectifier
Check for adhesion of dust and foreign objects, damage to wirings by
burning, and loosening of mounting screws.
What action is required if single phase is used?
The following describes the operating procedure for using a
single phase with the K2CM.
• Connection Method
Pass wires through any two of the three holes on the
K2CM.

• 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.
