2.5.2.1.2 Hot state temperature detection of the
machine
It is considered that the machine is in hot state when
calculated temperature exceeds Hot state level.
Equation 10 Hot state level equation.

H
– Temperature level above which is considered hot state of
the machine.
HCR – Hot to cold ratio
2.5.2.1.3 Start of overheated machine Inhibition
In certain cases when start of the machine would cause
the temperature to exceed insulation class of the
machine the high temperature signal is stated. The
estimation is based on equation:

2.5.2.1.4 Negative sequence component Influence
Additional negative sequence current can occur in
rotating machines with coiled rotors. Difference in
calculated heat can be taken into account by using the
Current unbalance factor.
