4.6.5 MOTOR COOLING
The thermal capacity used value decreases exponentially when the motor current is below the
OVERLOAD
PICKUP
setpoint. This reduction simulates motor cooling. The motor cooling time constants should be entered
for both stopped and running cases. Since the cooling is exponential, the time constants are one-fifth of the
total time to go from 100% thermal capacity used to 0%. A stopped motor normally cools significantly slower
than a running motor. Motor cooling is calculated as follows:
where: TC
used
= thermal capacity used
TC
used_start
= TC
used
value caused by overload condition
TC
used_end
= TC
used
value dictated by the hot/cold curve ratio when the motor is running
(= 0 when the motor is stopped)
t
= time in minutes
τ
= Cool Time Constant (running or stopped)
I
eq
= equivalent motor heating current
overload_pickup= overload pickup setpoint as a multiple of FLA
hot / cold = hot/cold curve ratio
