K: Thermal overload equal to (Ieq. / k* IFLA)
Where:
Ieq: Equivalent current corresponding to the largest phase current
IFLA: Full load current rating (settable)
k : Settable (1 to 1.5 step 0.01)
A: Initial thermal state. If the initial thermal state is 30% then A =0.3
Th. Trip: Trip thermal state. If the trip thermal state is set at 100%, then Th. Trip is 1
The calculation of the thermal state is given by the following formula:
Èi+1 = (Ieq /k*IFLA) ² · [1 – exp (-t/Te)] + Èi · exp (-t/Te)
