Comprehensive and Compact Motor Protection

​

The Multilin 859 Motor Protection System, a member of the Multilin 8 Series protective relay platform, is designed for the protection, control and management of medium and large power rating induction motors. It has also been purpose built as a direct replacement for GE’s existing range of Multilin motor protection relays including the 169, 269, 269Plus, and 369 devices.

​

Based on the same field proven hardware and protection and control algorithms of the Multilin 8 Series, the 859 delivers advanced features including high-speed protection, customizable programmable logic, and advanced motor monitoring and diagnostics - all in a fixed mount, slim design.

​

With extensive communication capabilities the 859 easily integrates into new or existing process control systems, enabling operationally focused motor management and control.

​

To simplify the migration and upgrade from existing Multilin 169, 269/269Plus, and 369 protection relays, the 859 has the same cutout and depth. In the case of replacing a 369 relay, the 859 has the same terminal arrangement, eliminating the need to change field wiring. In the case of other relays, detailed one-to-one wire maps and setting file conversion tools are provided to significantly simplify the upgrade process. 

​

High-Inertia Load Applications

​

The voltage-dependent overload curve feature in the Thermal Model protects motors that are used in high-inertia-load applications. Voltage is continually monitored when the motor is started and during acceleration. The thermal-limit curve is then adjusted accordingly. This enables the Multilin 859 to distinguish between a locked-rotor condition, an accelerating condition, and a running condition.

​

VFD-Driven Motor Applications

​

The Multilin 859 provides protection for motors fed through VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives). A wide range of the frequency tracking (3-72 Hz) allows the 859 to track the motor frequency and adjust its sampling rate to accurately measure phasors. An advanced algorithm allows switchable current and voltage tracking in case VFD is bypassed.

​

Thermal protection also considers the extra heating generated by the greater harmonics due to the VFD, to achieve an accurate response to the actual motor heating. RMS currents fed to the various motor-protection elements are further processed through the averaging filter to eliminate oscillations in current signals to ensure security.

​

Additionally, users can indicate a starting VFD frequency that helps the device track the motor frequency faster. Therefore, the 859 accurately measures the phasor quantities, which, otherwise, could cause delayed or false protection operation.

 

Cyclic Load Motor Applications

​

Input currents of a motor driving cyclic load can vary between very small to greater than the maximum allowable current during a load cycle. Variation in current magnitude results in motor heating and cooling depending on the heat and cooling time constants. Thermal overload protection response is adaptive to the cyclic load based on the cooling time constants. In addition, to provide more accurate overload thermal model response to cyclic load, the input currents to the thermal model are averaged over the settable duty-cycle interval. With a reciprocating-load application, the number of cycles to average can be determined from current waveform capture using the Oscillography/Datalogger features in the GE motor-protection relays

​

​

Advanced Motor Monitoring & Diagnostics

​

The Multilin 859 offers an integrated, cost-effective monitoring and diagnostics features that leverage existing relay data without the need for additional devices, sensors, wiring and training. The 859 utilizes both Electrical Signature (ESA) and Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) to provide the early detection and warning of a wide range of electrical, thermal and/or mechanical abnormalities that may affect a motor’s performance or operational life.

​

Motor failures and faults can have a significant impact on a process, resulting in loss of revenue and material. Predictive maintenance and situational awareness to the motors operating condition is critical to helping reduce unplanned downtime and energy consumption - maximizing motor life.

​

Motor monitoring & diagnostic features include stator turn-to-turn fault, broken-rotor-bar detection, roller-bearing faults, foundation looseness, eccentricity, and misalignments.

​

Event Recorder (Syslog for SEM)

​

Capture all cyber security related events within a SOE element (login, logout, invalid password attempts, remote/local access, user in session, settings change, FW update, etc), and then serve and classify data by security level using standard Syslog data format. This will enable integration with established SEM (Security Event Management) systems.

​

Direct Replacement for Multilin 169, 269, 269Plus and 369 Protection & Control Relays

​

The Multilin 859 is the only relay that offers a seamless, direct replacement for existing Multilin protection relays. Designed to fit the same mechanical cut and accept the same wiring connectors (applicable to 369 relays), the 859 provides a simplified replacement strategy – eliminating the need for drawing changes, re-wiring, and door modifications. While also significantly reducing any staff training requirements. Additional one-to-one wiring maps are available for other legacy Multilin motor protection relays, and automated setting file conversion and analysis tools ensure reduced configuration time and effort.
