What are the main differences between feeder and motor mode with Easergy P3?

Issue:
Need to understand the main differences between feeder mode and motor mode in Easergy/Powerlogic P3.

Product Line:
- Easergy/ Powerlogic P3
- Applies to Easergy/Powerlogic P3 relays that support feeder and motor application modes

Environment:
- Easergy/Powerlogic P3 relay configuration
- Application mode selection
- Protection function configuration

Cause:
Feeder mode and motor mode use different scaling references and enable different protection functions based on the selected application.

Resolution:
  • In feeder mode, current scaling is based on the CT nominal.
  • In motor mode, current scaling is based on the motor nominal current (Imot).
  • Some protection functions appear or disappear depending on the selected mode.
  • In feeder mode, feeder-related functions such as auto recloser are available.
  • In motor mode, motor-related functions such as motor start-up supervision and other motor protection functions are available.
  • Common protection functions, such as overcurrent protection, may be available in both modes, but their settings and scaling are interpreted according to the selected application mode.
  • If the expected function is not visible, verify that the relay is configured for the correct application mode.
