The 339 Motor Protection System is a microprocessor based relay providing suitable protection of medium voltage motors. The small footprint and the withdrawable option make the 339 relay ideal for panel mounting on either new or retrofit installations. The combination of proven hardware, a variety of protection and control features, and communications, makes the relay ideal for total motor protection and control.
Bus VT phase A voltage. The signals are passed through a low pass filter to prevent false zero crossings. Sampling is synchronized to the Va-x voltage zero crossing which results in better co-ordination for multiple 339 relays on the same bus. Phasors, Transients, and Harmonics Current waveforms are processed four times every cycle with a DC Offset Filter and a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

CAUTION: that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded only once, at the master or at the 339 . Failure to do so may result in intermittent or failed communications. The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices installed, either internally or externally.
DC level shift or amplitude modulated (AM) form. The type of form is auto-detected by the 339 relay. Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

If you are going to communicate from your computer to the 339 Relay using the USB port: 10. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the 339 Relay then into the USB port on your computer. 11. Launch EnerVista 3 Series Setup from LaunchPad.
(for USB communications) or to the RS485 terminals on the back of the device (for RS485 communications). This example demonstrates an USB connection. For RS485 communications, the GE Multilin F485 converter will be required. Refer to the F485 manual for additional details. To configure the relay for Ethernet communications, see Configuring Ethernet Communications below.
As indicated by the window, the "Quick Connect" feature can quickly connect the EnerVista 3 Series Setup software to a 339 front port if the USB is selected in the interface drop-down list. Select "SR3 Relay" and press the Connect button. Ethernet can also be used as the interface for Quick Connect as shown above.
SOFTWARE SETUP CHAPTER 3: INTERFACES The 339 Site Device has now been configured via the Quick Connect feature for either USB or Ethernet communications. Proceed to Connecting to the Relay below, to begin communications. Configuring Ethernet Before starting, verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the RJ-45 Ethernet communications port.
Enter the IP address, slave address, and Modbus port values assigned to the 339 relay (from the S1 RELAY SETUP > COMMUNICATIONS > ETHERNET menu). Click the Read Order Code button to connect to the 339 and upload the order code. If a communications error occurs, ensure that the Ethernet communication values correspond to the relay setting values.

Select the file name and path to store the file, or select any displayed file name to replace an existing file. All 339 setpoint files should have the extension ‘SR3’ (for example, ‘feeder1.SR3’). Click OK to complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a complete path, will be added to the EnerVista 3 Series Setup software environment.
It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the files to a new revision 339 firmware has been upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure: Establish communications with the 339 relay. Select the Maintenance > M1 Relay Info menu item and record the Firmware Revision.
Establish communications with the desired 339 device. From the main window, select the Online > Print Device Information menu item The Print/Export Options dialog box will appear. Select Actual Values in the upper section and select either Include All Features (for a complete list) or Include Only Enabled Features (for a list of only those features which are currently used) in the filtering section and click OK.
Uninstalling files and The unit can be decommissioned by turning off the power to the unit and disconnecting the wires to it. Files can be cleared after uninstalling the EnerVista software or 339 device, clearing data for example to comply with data security regulations.

897766A2.cdr RS485 interface The 339 is equipped with one serial RS485 communication port. The RS485 port has settings for baud rate and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other equipment that is connected to these ports. This port may be connected to a computer running the EnerVista 3 Series Setup software.
NOTE Modbus The Modicon Modbus protocol is supported by the 339 . Modbus is available via the RS485 serial link (Modbus RTU). The 339 always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications; it only listens and responds to requests issued by a master device.
Please refer to the 3 Series Communications Guide for details on how to set up the DNP protocol. For a complete list of Binary inputs, see Format Code FC134B in the 3 Series Communications Guide.

Range: Wye, Delta Default: Wye The 339 provides three-phase VT inputs. Select “Wye” connection, if phase-neutral voltages are wired to the relay VT terminals. Select “Delta” connection, if phase-phase voltages from Delta VT are connected to the three-phase VT terminals. See the VT connections per the Typical Wiring Diagram in Chapter 2.
The status of this switch is used by the relay to ensure that in low speed operation the relay maintains running status when current draw is very low. Use a form- a (normally open) auxiliary contact of the low speed (speed 1) contactor. 339 MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 6–27...
In some cases, the fault current can exceed the current which the contactor is rated to supervision interrupt. If such a condition has been detected, the 339 blocks the operation of output relay 1 "Trip" and operates a selected auxiliary output relay. The same auxiliary output relay must be wired to the upstream switching device (usually a breaker) that is rated to interrupt the fault current.

= the period in seconds corresponding to the nominal power system frequency. system The 339 thermal protection addresses the two distinct parts of the thermal limit curve: the motor starting limit, and the running limit. The start protection determines Time to Trip during motor starting, and the thermal overload curve determines Time to Trip during motor running.
If the motor starting times are well within the safe stall times, it is recommended that the 339 standard overload curve be used. The standard overload curves are a series of 15 curves, each a multiple from 1 to 15 of a common curve shape based on typical motor thermal limit curves.

A second independent Short Circuit protection element is provided for High Speed.

M7 TESTING Force output relays The 339 relay provides a test to verify that the output relays function correctly. Any relay forced to operate will toggle from its normal state when there are no trips, alarms, or blocks, to its active state.
General maintenance The 339 requires minimal maintenance. As a microprocessor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. The expected service life of a 339 is 20 years when the environment and electrical conditions are within stated specifications. While the 339 performs continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be scheduled with other system maintenance.
