often encountered during the motor start-up and with abnormal conditions such as
locked rotor or unbalance, which both produce excess heat due to the skin effect.
The skin effect causes the current to distribute in a smaller surface in the rotor bars,
increasing the resistance, and therefore also the heating effect.
The function also provides locked rotor protection. The locked rotor condition can
be identified from the slip estimate that the function calculates.
4.1.11.4 Analog channel configuration
RPTTR has two analog group inputs which must be properly configured.

4.1.11.5 Operation principle
The function can be enabled and disabled with the
Operation
setting. The
corresponding parameter values are "on" and "off".
The operation of RPTTR can be described using a module diagram. All the modules
in the diagram are explained in the next sections.
The function uses ambient temperature which can be measured locally or remotely.
Local measurement is done by the protection relay. Remote measurement uses
analog IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE to connect AMB_TEMP input.
If the quality of remotely measured temperature is invalid or
communication channel fails the function uses ambient temperature set
