The settings for overtemperatures of 5% and 10% respectively
are:
Theta-Warn = 67%
Theta-Trip = 70%
Normally the protection is configured such that the initial tem-
perature rise is 100 % (‘Theta-Begin’ = 100 %).
With I

The settings for alarm and tripping are then:

Transformers have two distinct exponential functions, one for the
oil and one for the winding. The corresponding mean values are:
Oil :
DJ
oil
= 50 K t
oil
= 120 min
Winding :
DJ
W
- DJ
oil
= 10 K t
W
= 10 min
The total temperature rise of the winding is thus
DJ
W
= 60 K.
Since however the model operates with just a single exponential
function, its temperature rise has to follow the best possible
equivalent exponential function as shown in Fig. 3.5.23.1. The
steady-state temperature rise of this equivalent function is
identical to the total temperature rise of the winding, i.e.
DJ
W
=
60 K in the example above. Its time constant, however, is
typically 60 to 80% of the temperature rise of the oil (see Fig.
3.5.23.2).
