Parameter: Cool-down factor Tau
•
Default value (_:108) Cool-down factor Tau = 7.0
If the current becomes lower than the setting value of the Imin cooling parameter, you can set the Cool-
down factor Tau parameter to calculate the internal cooling time constant.
Parameter: Operate char. curve
•
Default value Operate char. curve = 1.1 p.u., 600.00 s
With the Operate char. curve parameter, you define the characteristic curve in a tabular form with
ordered normalized current values and associated normalized time values.
When setting the parameter, consider the following:
•
Set the current value as per-unit value with the rated current of the protected object as reference.
•
Set the time value in seconds.
•
Enter the values in continuous order.
EXAMPLE
With the following 12 points, you can get a user-defined characteristic curve as shown in the following figure.
