Hey.

With regard to motor protection there are a number of different relays that have different jobs.

Function 49 is overload protection
Function 51 is locked rotor protection.

There are lots of others - 50 = phase fault protection
50N = earth fault protection
50 + 51N = Time overcurrent with thermal in built.

You can also get harmonic protection etc etc

Hope this helps

Cheers

my understanding 51 using for overcurrent protection, but the reason of overcurrent is overload, 49 is thermal relay and the reason is overload too. So, can I use one of them for overload protection? when do I use both ?

thank you
