The function block protects a motor both from short- and long-duration overloads.
The start situation is a good example of short-duration overload since particularly at
start-up the rotor is in danger to be overloaded by the starting current. The starting
current can be in the range of five to seven times the rated current of the motor.
The motor start-ups also load stator windings. Especially when a warm motor is
restarted, the stator may constitute a limitation regarding thermal protection.
Because the function block calculates the temperature rise both for the stator and the
rotor individually, the motor can be fully protected by proper settings. Furthermore,
the thermal model of two-time constants enables detecting both short-time and long-
time overloadings.
