The reset time of the thermal overload protection element is also time delayed using following formula:
Eq. 5-25
where
τ
rst
= thermal protection trip time constant
T
min
= a minimum reset time setting

The thermal overload protection element estimates accumulated thermal energy E using the following equations
calculated each power cycle. When current is greater than the pickup level, I
n
> k × I
B
, element starts increasing the
thermal energy:
