Description


Application Scenarios​

A mid-sized wastewater treatment plant faced recurring motor failures in its aeration blower system,caused by undetected overloads from clogged air filters.These failures led to 8-10 hours of unplanned downtime per month,costing the plant over$30,000 in repair and production losses.After installing the 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 relays on each blower motor,the plant saw a dramatic shift.The 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 continuously tracked motor current,alerting operators to rising loads 15-20 minutes before overload conditions.This early warning allowed filter cleaning before trips occurred,reducing motor failures by 90%and eliminating unplanned downtime.The relay directly solved the plant’s core pain point of reactive motor maintenance,shifting to a proactive safety model.​

Technical Principles and Innovative Values​

Innovation Point 1:The 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 features adaptive trip curve technology.Unlike traditional relays with fixed trip curves(which often cause false trips or delayed protection),this relay allows users to select 5-30 class trip curves to match specific motor types(e.g.,class 10 for centrifugal pumps,class 20 for compressors).In a chemical plant’s pump system,this flexibility reduced false trips by 85%compared to the previous fixed-curve relays,eliminating unnecessary production interruptions.​

Innovation Point 2:It integrates predictive overload预警(POA)logic.By analyzing current trends over time,the 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 can predict an impending overload 10-30 seconds in advance and send a pre-alarm to the control system—unlike conventional relays that only trip after overload occurs.A steel mill using this feature prevented a$50,000 motor burnout when the relay warned of a bearing failure-induced current rise,allowing maintenance before the motor reached critical temperature.​

Application Cases and Industry Value​

In a large automotive assembly plant,the GE 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 was deployed to protect 24 conveyor motor systems across the paint shop.The paint shop’s motors operate in high-temperature(up to 65°C)and dusty conditions,making them prone to overheating and overloads.Before installing the 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0,the plant averaged 3 motor replacements per month,each costing

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support​

Installation of the GE 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0 is intuitive and requires minimal electrical expertise.Before installation,verify the motor’s rated current and CT ratio to set the relay’s pickup current correctly—this ensures accurate protection without false trips.Mount the relay in a panel cutout(96mm×96mm)or use the optional DIN rail adapter,ensuring it’s away from high-voltage components(e.g.,motor starters)to reduce electromagnetic interference.Connect the CT inputs,power supply,and control outputs per the wiring diagram,and test trip functions with a current injector to confirm operation.​

For routine maintenance,inspect wiring connections quarterly to prevent loose contacts(a common cause of false alarms)and clean the relay’s front panel with a dry cloth to maintain LED visibility.The 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0’s self-diagnostic feature alerts users to internal faults(e.g.,power supply issues),simplifying troubleshooting.GE Multilin provides comprehensive support,including free online installation manuals,24/7 technical support,and on-site training for large deployments.Spare parts are stocked globally,ensuring delivery within 48 hours for urgent replacements.Whether you’re protecting small pumps or large industrial motors,our team can customize a protection solution tailored to your needs.Contact us today to enhance your motor safety and reduce operational risks with the 369-LO-0-M-F-E-0-0.
