13.1 Trip class "P"
Fig. 25 Curves for trip class "P"
The trip delay indicates the maximum period of time
during which the overload condition is allowed to
exist, for example 5 seconds.
Example:
A pump is to cut out after 900 ms because the rated
current has been exceeded.
• Select trip class "P".
• Set the overload limit to 10 A (the rated motor cur-
rent is stated on the nameplate).
• Set the trip delay to 900 ms.
Fig. 25, curve 1:
The pump has an abnormal start-up time, and the
current exceeds 10 A. The MP 204 trips after
900 ms.
Fig. 25, curve 2:
The pump has a normal start-up time, and the cur-
rent exceeds 10 A only briefly (< 900 ms). The
MP 204 does not trip.
Note: The curves are examples and cannot be used
for readings.
