HT Motor

03/15/2010 11:48 AM

we have a h.t motor of rating 2000kw,supply voltage 6.6kv. when we started motor tripped on earth fault,then we checked the ir value of motor and found 2MOHM phase to earth and 5 MOHM phase to phase. so i want to know is this value o.k?????????

What is the earth fault device set to?

What were the same set of readings on the cable feeding it downstream of the earth fault device with the motor disconnected?

we set earth fault on long inverse(as per IEC STANDARD) Iep-.10 tep-.05 CT RATIO-200/5 MOTOR FLC-203 AMPS.

CABLE I.R VALUE IS OK.

At what voltage did you measure the resistance ? 500V, 1kV, 2.5 kV ??

Cold motor ? warm motor ?

In each case, the 2 of 5 Mega ohm looks not good to me.

We repair electrical motors, and a newly repaired (low voltage 400-690V AC) motor has a resistance of more than 4000 Mega ohm, measured on a cold (+/- 20°C) motor at a test voltage of 1000 VDC.

The minimum I would advise should be at least 100 Meg ohm (testvoltage 1kV)

Keep in mind that when it is foggy outside or the surrounding is humid, the readings will be lower.
