Configuring Protection & Logic Functions Chapter 6
When you enable overload protection, the relay requests information about the
protected motor capabilities. Obtain the requested information (except the
acceleration factor) from the motor specifications.
The 825-P thermal element always operates in one of two modes: starting or
running. In starting mode, the thermal element trips in Locked Rotor Time
at Locked Rotor Current whether the motor is at ambient or at normal operating
temperature. In running mode, the thermal element provides overload protection
by limiting the motor heat energy estimate to a value represented by the overload
settings.
The locked rotor time setting is for a hot motor condition. If only one locked
rotor time is specified for a particular motor, unless the specification states
otherwise, assume the time is the cold locked rotor time. Multiply the cold locked
rotor time by 0.833 to determine a hot locked rotor time which is acceptable
for most motors.

For compliance to IEC standards regarding thermal overload protection, set the
SERVICE FACTOR to a value: 1.05…1.20.
NOTE: When Two Speed Enable = Y and a Speed 2 control input is specified, the relay uses the
“2nd” FLA-related settings for the overload thermal model
