What it represents

Supervises a motor current condition associated with a jam or stall in the cited relay application.

The drafting record should connect this function to the motor CT inputs and running/starting-state logic, then trace the jam or stall trip and reset/restart interface. Keep the complete designation and equipment tag together so that the SLD, relay logic and terminal schedule describe the same implementation.

The cited mapping is a public manufacturer example (Eaton EMR family). Suffixes are not universal equivalences across products, and this reference supplies neither a protection setting nor certification of the selected scheme.

How to read it

  • Identify the motor CT inputs and running/starting-state logic.
  • Trace the jam or stall trip and reset/restart interface.

Information to show or reference

  • Label the motor CT inputs and running/starting-state logic.
  • Cross-reference the jam or stall trip and reset/restart interface.
  • Retain the complete suffix, selected device tag and manufacturer manual revision.

A distinction that matters

A jam/stall element requires its application context; starting locked-rotor and running jam protection can use different supervision.
