5.4.3.4 THERMAL MODEL UNIT (49)
Unit 49 is a protection element that measures 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 thermal image value, the following
equation is used:
Where,
î is the heating/cooling time constant.
I is the ratio current/pickup
When a body is cooled, it does not always follow a time constant similar to the heating time constant; this is why the
function has independent setpoints for heating and cooling constants.
Table 5â43: 49 UNIT SETPOINTS
The cooling constant is given in times the heating constant.
The snapshot event setpoint enables or disables the snapshot event generation for the thermal model units.
