The thermal overload protection element estimates accumulated thermal energy E using the following equations
calculated each power cycle. When current is greater than the pickup level, I
n
> k × I
B
, element starts increasing the
thermal energy:
Eq. 5-31
When current is less than the dropout level, I
n
> 0.97 × k × I
B
, the element starts decreasing the thermal energy:
Eq. 5-32
where
∆ 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.
Table 5-39: Typical time constants
The figure shows the logic for the thermal overload protection element.
