Setting the thermal restart level
The restart disable level can be calculated as follows:
θ

startup time of the motor
operate time when no prior load

(Equation 12)
For example, the motor start-up time is 11 seconds, start-up current 6 x rated and Time
constant start is set for 800 seconds. Using the trip curve with no prior load, the
operation time at 6 x rated current is 25 seconds, one motor start-up uses 11/25 ≈ 45
percent of the thermal capacity of the motor. Therefore, the restart disable level must
be set to below 100 percent - 45 percent = 55 percent, for example to 50 percent (100
percent - (45 p margin), where margin is 5 percent).
Setting the thermal alarm level
Tripping due to high overload is avoided by reducing the load of the motor on a prior
alarm.
The value of Alarm thermal value is set to a level which allows the use of the full
thermal capacity of the motor without causing a trip due to a long overload time.
Generally, the prior alarm level is set to a value of 80 to 90 percent of the trip level.
