The current can be applied from a 3P balanced supply or phase by phase from a 1P supply. Alternatively the 3
phase current inputs can be connected in series and injected simultaneously from a single 1P source.
The Thermal Overload Setting and Time Constant Setting can be considered together to calculate the operating
time for a particular applied current.
The following list below shows operate times for a range of Time Constant Settings for an applied current of 2x
the Thermal Overload setting. Ensure that the thermal rating of the relay is not exceeded during this test.
