I
n
is the measured overload RMS current at index n
E
n
is the accumulated energy at index n
E
n–1
is the accumulated energy at index n – 1
The thermal overload protection element removes the THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand when E < 0.05. In case of
emergency, the thermal memory and THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand can be reset using THERM PROT 1 RESET setting.
All calculations are performed per phase. If the accumulated energy reaches value 1 in any phase, the thermal overload
protection element operates and only resets when energy is less than 0.05 in all three phases.
Table 5-41: Typical time constants
The figure shows the logic for the thermal overload protection element.
