I
n
is the measured overload RMS current at index n
E
n
is the accumulated energy at index n
E
n – 1
is the accumulated energy at index n – 1
The thermal overload protection element removes the
THERMAL PROT 1 OP
output operand when E < 0.05. In case of
emergency, the thermal memory and
THERMAL PROT 1 OP
output operand can be reset using
THERM PROT 1 RESET
setting.
All calculations are performed per phase. If the accumulated energy reaches value 1 in any phase, the thermal overload
protection element operates and only resets when energy is less than 0.05 in all three phases.
Table 5-33: Typical time constants
The figure shows the logic for the thermal overload protection element.
