For the IDMT curves, it is possible to define minimum and maximum operate times
with the
Minimum operate time and Maximum operate time settings. The Machine
time Mult setting parameter corresponds to the machine constant, equal to the I
2
2
t
constant of the machine, as stated by the machine manufacturer. In case there is a
mismatch between the used CT and the protected motor's nominal current values, it is
possible to fit the IDMT curves for the protected motor using the
Current reference
setting.
The activation of the
OPERATE
output activates the
BLK_RESTART
output. The
deactivation of the
OPERATE
output activates the cooling timer. The timer is set to the
value entered in the Cooling time setting. The
BLK_RESTART
output is kept active
until the cooling timer is exceeded. If the negative-sequence current increases above
the set value during this period, the
OPERATE
output is activated immediately.
The
T_ENARESTART
output indicates the duration for which the
BLK_RESTART
output remains active, that is, it indicates the remaining time of the cooling timer. The
value is available in the monitored data view.
The timer calculates the start duration value START_DUR, which indicates the
percentage ratio of the start situation and the set operation time. The value is available
in the monitored data view.
4.4.4.5 Timer characteristics
MNSPTOC supports both DT and IDMT characteristics. The DT timer characteristics
can be selected with "ANSI Def. Time" or "IEC Def. Time" in the
Operating curve
type setting. The functionality is identical in both cases. When the DT characteristics
are selected, the functionality is only affected by the Operate delay time and Reset
delay time settings.
The protection relay provides two user-programmable IDMT characteristics curves,
"Inv. curve A" and "Inv. curve B".
Current-based inverse definite minimum time curve (IDMT)
In inverse-time modes, the operate time depends on the momentary value of the
current: the higher the current, the shorter the operate time. The operate time
calculation or integration starts immediately when the current exceeds the set
Start
value and the
START
output is activated.
The
OPERATE
output of the component is activated when the cumulative sum of the
integrator calculating the overcurrent situation exceeds the value set by the inverse
time mode. The set value depends on the selected curve type and the setting values
used.
The Minimum operate time and Maximum operate time settings define the minimum
operate time and maximum operate time possible for the IDMT mode. For setting
these parameters, a careful study of the particular IDMT curves is recommended.
