as defined in the IEC 60255-8 thermal operating characteris-
tics. It is the value of current above which 100 % of thermal capacity will be reached after a period of
time and it is therefore normally set slightly above the full load current of the protected plant.
Parameter: Char
•
Default setting: IEC
The operate characteristic can be based on the IEC thermal curve or a user thermal curve can be used.
Parameter: Time Constant
•
Default setting: 10 min
This setting is chosen to match the thermal characteristic of the protected plant.
Parameter: Capacity Alarm Setting
•
Default setting: 50 %
An alarm can be given if the thermal state of the system exceeds a specified percentage of the protected
equipment’s thermal capacity.
