Product Overview: ALSTOM MVAJM25LA1010A Motor Protection Relay
1. General Description
The MVAJM25LA1010A is a member of the Micom P14x family of advanced, numeric protection relays manufactured by ALSTOM (now part of GE Grid Solutions). This specific model is engineered primarily for the comprehensive protection, control, and monitoring of medium-voltage asynchronous motors.
It is a versatile and robust device designed to maximize motor availability, prevent damage from electrical faults, and reduce downtime through advanced monitoring features. The relay integrates multiple protection functions, metering, and control logic into a single, compact unit, making it a cornerstone for industrial motor protection schemes.
2. Key Features and Functions
- Advanced Motor Protection: Includes a full suite of protection functions tailored for motors, such as:
- Thermal Overload Protection (49RMS): Models the motor’s thermal capacity based on measured current, accounting for heating and cooling times.
- Stall Protection (14): Detects and trips for locked rotor conditions during start-up or running.
- Short Circuit Protection (50/51): Phase and neutral timed and instantaneous overcurrent.
- Earth Fault Protection (50N/51N, 50G/51G): Sensitive protection for ground faults.
- Start-up Supervision / Excessive Start Time: Monitors the duration of the motor start.
- Undercurrent (37) & Underpower (37P): For pump clogging or load loss detection.
- Negative Sequence / Unbalance (46): Protects against motor heating due to phase unbalance.
- Number of Starts Inhibition: Prevents excessive consecutive starts or restarts.
- Under-voltage (27) & Over-voltage (59): Protects the motor from abnormal supply conditions.
- Control and Automation:
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) functionality for customizing control sequences.
- Multiple configurable inputs (digital) and outputs (relay contacts).
- Direct control of the motor breaker or contactor.
- Monitoring and Metering:
- Real-time measurement of Ia, Ib, Ic, In, Vab, Vbc, Vca, frequency, power (kW, kVAR), power factor, and energy.
- Records motor thermal capacity used.
- Monitoring of motor starts and run hours.

MVAJ205
- Communication and Integration:
- Equipped with multiple communication ports.
- Supports standard industrial protocols like IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus® RTU (serial), and often Profibus-DP or Modbus TCP/IP (depending on the specific hardware configuration).
- Facilitates integration into SCADA, DCS, and Plant Management Systems.
- Human-Machine Interface (HMI):
- A backlit graphical LCD display for clear data visualization.
- Intuitive keypad and navigation menu for local configuration and access to measured values, fault records, and event logs.
- Event Recording and Oscillography:
- Detailed sequence of events (SOE) recorder with time-tagging.
- Fault record (oscillography) capture for post-fault analysis.
