Motor Thermal Limit Characteristic Plotted With Motor Starting Current
The Basic Thermal Element
Figure F.2 shows a simple electrical analog for a thermal system. The thermal
element includes:
A heat source, modeled as a current source.
A thermal capacitance, modeled as a capacitor.
A thermal impedance to ambient, modeled as a resistor.
A comparator to compare the present heat estimate, U, to the
thermal trip value.
