Overload Settings
When the motor thermal capacity used exceeds the overload warning level
setting (TCAPU), the relay issues a warning (the Relay Word bit 49A asserts).
The early warning may allow you to correct the load problem before a thermal
trip occurs. Set TCAPU using the following criteria to avoid nuisance
overload warnings when running the motor at full load:
Equation 4.1
The motor tripping and starting functions include supervision to help prevent a
thermal trip on a normal start. The relay prevents motor starting until the
thermal element has enough available starting thermal capacity to allow a
motor start without tripping. The available thermal capacity required to start is
(100–TCSTART), where TCSTART is the start inhibit level setting. This
feature can be disabled by setting TCSTART equal to OFF.
