, the element starts decreasing the thermal energy:
(EQ 5.26)
In the above equations,
• ∆ t is the power cycle duration
• n is the power cycle index
• t
op ( In )
is the trip time calculated at index n as per the IEC255-8 cold curve or hot curve equations
• t
rst ( In )
is the reset time calculated at index n as per the reset time equation
• 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.
The logic for the thermal overload protection element is shown below.
