Description

The AQ-M255 motor protection device offers a modular protection and control solution for larger and more important motors that require a large I/O capacity. You can add up to eleven (11) I/O or communication cards into the device for extensive monitoring and control applications. You can also connect up to sixteen (16) RTD signals for thermal alarming and tripping. AQ-M255 communicates using various protocols, including the IEC 61850 substation communication standard.

Highlights:

  • Powerful motor management with a large I/O capacity.
  • Five (5) thermal models (time constant accurate).
  • Soft start protection beginning from 6 Hz.
  • Wye-delta started motor supervision.
  • Two-speed motor protection.
  • Optional power and energy measurement accuracy of up to 0.2 %.
  • Asynchronous and synchronous motors.
