4.1.3.3 Functionality
The increased utilization of power systems closer to the thermal limits has
generated a need for a thermal overload function for power lines as well.
A thermal overload is in some cases not detected by other protection functions,
and the introduction of the three-phase thermal protection for feeders, cables and
distribution transformers function T1PTTR allows the protected circuit to operate
closer to the thermal limits.
An alarm level gives an early warning to allow operators to take action before the
line trips. The early warning is based on the three-phase current measuring function
using a thermal model with first order thermal loss with the settable time constant.
If the temperature rise continues the function operates based on the thermal model
of the line.
