If this calculated relative temperature is larger than the relative temperature level corresponding
to the set operate (trip) current, then the pickup output signal PICKUP will be activated.

is the thermal time constant of the protected circuit given in minutes. There are different time
constants depending on the cooling used. Please refer to manufacturer's manuals for details
The calculated transformer relative temperature can be monitored and it is exported from the
function as a real figure HEATCONT.
