5–72 489 GENERATOR MANAGEMENT RELAY – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
  CHAPTER 5: SETPOINTS
Note
The RTD BIAS MINIMUM, RTD BIAS CENTER, and RTD BIAS MAXIMUM setpoints is are seen 
only if 
ENABLE RTD BIASING is set to “Yes”.
Note
The STANDARD OVERLOAD CURVE NUMBER is seen only if SELECT CURVE STYLE is set to 
“Standard”. If the 
SELECT CURVE STYLE is set to “Voltage Dependent”, all setpoints shown 
after the 
STANDARD OVERLOAD CURVE NUMBER are displayed. If the SELECT CURVE STYLE is 
set to “Custom”, the setpoints shown after 
TIME TO TRIP AT 20.0 X FLA are not displayed.
The current measured at the output CTs is used for the thermal model. The thermal model 
consists of five key elements: the overload curve and overload pickup level, the unbalance 
biasing of the generator current while the machine is running, the cooling time constants, 
and the biasing of the thermal model based on hot/cold generator information and 
measured stator temperature. Each of these elements are described in detail in the 
sections that follow.
