If the motor manufacturer gives a t
6x
value instead of
τ
, the
τ
can be calculated using equation 2.2.3.-2 assuming that the t
6x
is given for a motor in normal operating temperature. If the t
6x
is given for a cold motor then equation 2.2.3.-3 should be used.

The trip level is determined by the maximum allowed
continuous current I
MAX
. This current corresponds to the 100 %
temperature
Θ

i.e. the heat capacitance of the motor. I
