The heating time constant (
τ
) and the load current factor (k)
corresponding to the maximum thermal load are adjustable.
Factor k defines the load current value, which, when exceeded,
results in a thermal trip.
The cooling time constant of the thermal overload protection is
the same as the heating time constant.
The thermal overload stage is provided with a separately
adjustable alarm function, the setting range of which is
60...99% of the thermal trip level.
