THERMAL MODEL CURVE EFFECT
— This setting affects the time-to-trip thermal curves when the
THERMAL MODEL CURVE
is
selected as “Motor.” This setting takes into account the design of the machine with respect to overload capability as
determined by the overload (service) factor. For motor designs where temperature rise above ambient is based on full load
current, select this setting as “Cutoff.” The time to trip is then calculated using the following equation.
Eq. 5-10
In the equation, the motor stator current (I
motor
) and motor rated current (FLA) are expressed in per units of relay current.
For specialized motor designs where temperature rise above ambient is based on the product of the service factor and full
load current (OF × FLA), select “Shifted” for this setting. The time to trip is then calculated using the following equation.
Eq. 5-11
In the equation, the motor stator current (I
motor
) and motor rated current (FLA) are expressed in per units of relay current.
In case of uncertainty, use the more conservative “Cutoff” value.
The following figure illustrates the impact of this setting on the time to trip thermal curves.
