Available on Inverter Circuits

Due to the outstanding current detection capabilities according to frequency change, the system can be used on secondary circuits of inverters.
The operable frequency range is 20~200Hz, and for details of other specifications, please contact the manufacturer.
However, ground fault protection function is only available at 50/60Hz, so if the ground fault protection function is enabled, it cannot be used with
an inverter.
If the start frequency is 20Hz, the system may malfunction.

Wide Current Adjustment Range: 1 model is capable of covering 0.125-1000A

Adjust the Dip S/W to modify the current adjustment range from 0.5-6A to 5-60A, and depending on the MCT wire penetration count, the current
can be adjusted up to 0.125A. If a separate external CT is used, it can be adjusted up to 1000A.

•External CT •2times(0.25 ~ 3A) •4 times(0.125 ~ 1.5A)

Protection function
• Overload protection (Overload-49)
Overload protection function of IMC-III detects currents flowing in a
motor and tracks the thermal capacity of the motor to protect the
motor from overheating. If 100% of the thermal capacity is reached,
an overload trip occurs, and the thermal capacity is then calculated
based upon the selected overload characteristic curve and
accumulated I2t value. By setting the rated current of the motor and
considering the motor start time, with 600% of the set current as
reference, 1-60 seconds are set as operation time in 1sec units to
determine an overload characteristic curve of Class1-Class60. If
definite time characteristic is selected, overcurrent is detected after
the operation delay time (D-Time) regardless of the motor’s thermal
capacity and if overcurrent continues to be applied beyond the
operation time (O-Time), a power trip occurs. <Inverse Time Characteristic> <Definite Time Characteristic>

• Stall/Locked rotor protection (Stall/Locked Rotor-48/51LR)

Equipment such as pumps or fans can be easily damaged if fault occurs due to which the rotor locking
occurs. IMC-III prevents rotor locking or failure or constant supply of large starting current due to
operation delay, and it also features blocking the circuit by detecting drastic increase in load current
due to overheating or overload during start, or detecting motor torque exceeding load torques. It
ensures that delay time is set so the functions do not trip due to operation current during motor
operation.

• Under Current protection (Under Current-37)

It is commonly used to prevent motor overheating by performing surveillance on unload status due to
the motor drive shaft dislocation or damage, pump’s continued idle (unload) status, or overheating
due to coolant or fan-based cooling damage. It can be set at 30-70% of the rated current, and it
operates within 3 seconds.

• Phase failure/ Unbalance protection (Phase Fail/Phase Unbalance-47P)

If open phase occurs due to internal faults of the motor or wiring issues, the motor cannot rotate or continues to rotate. In such case,
large reverse phase current flows into the rotor of the motor causing overheating. IMC-III calculates the imbalance ratio of 3-phase current,
operates as open phase at imbalance ratio of 70% or higher that trips within 1.5 seconds, and if the imbalance ratio is 30-50%,
it operates as phase imbalance that trips within 5 seconds. If a single-phase motor is used, please set it as OFF because open phase and
imbalance protection are impossible.

• Reverse Phase protection (Reverse Phase)

This function is to prevent the input current phase changing during motor start operation, in other words, reverse rotation. If the input
3-phase current changes its phase order when comparing the phase differences, the function operates within 0.1 seconds. However,
reverse phase can be detected at 110% of the minimum set current of IMC-III, and it only checks reverse phases during motor operation.
If a single-phase motor is used, please set it as OFF because open phase and unbalance protection are impossible.

• Ground Fault protection (Ground Fault-51G)

This function is used to prevent secondary accidents (short circuit, electrocution) due to electrical shorting by detecting short circuit or
short circuit current running in a motor. Depending on the protection system or protection purpose, the current sensitivity and operation
time must be set differently. Ground fault current sensitivity can be set between 100 and 2500mA, and ground fault operation time can be
set between 0.05 and 1.0 second. To detect the ground fault current, a separate ZCT (Zero phase Current Transformer) is used. However,
during inverter start, ground fault protection is unavailable, so one needs to set the function OFF in such a case.

① Once ON S/W input is made, S/V (Solenoid Valve) turns ON and OFF Delay Timer T1 turns ON.
② If F/S (Flow Switch) input is made with set [T2-T3] time, ON Delay Timer T3 turns ON.
③ After the set time since activation of ON T3 , the comparison timer T2 turns OFF, 88MX turns ON and the motor starts.
④ If F/S input is not made within a set [T2-T3] time, ON execution is cancelled and “t2-F” is displayed.
⑤ Comparison timer T2 must be larger than ON Delay Timer T3 , and it must consider the time needed for F/S inputs to be made.
⑥ If OFF S/W input is made to stop the motor, S/V and motor are OFF Delayed by the T1 set time.
⑦ If F/S input is removed during motor operation
