5.4.3.4 THERMAL MODEL ELEMENT (49)
Thermal model is a protection element that calculates the thermal heating generated as a result of the flowing current, and
prevents this heating from causing damage to the protected equipment. In order to calculate the tripping time, the following
equation is used:
Where,
τ is the heating/cooling time constant.
I’ is the ratio current/pickup
Table 5–45: THERMAL MODEL ELEMENT SETTINGS
The cooling constant is given in times the heating constant.
The snapshot event setting enables or disables the snapshot event generation for the thermal model elements.
