Calculating the
overtemperature
The thermal replica is calculated individually for each phase. Address 4206 CALC.
METHOD decides whether the highest of the three calculated temperatures (Θ max) or
their arithmetic average (Average Θ) or the temperature calculated from the phase
with maximum current (Θ from Imax) should be decisive for the thermal alarm and
tripping stage.
Since an overload usually occurs in a balanced way, this setting is of minor impor-
tance. If unbalanced overloads are to be expected, however, these options lead to dif-
ferent results.
Averaging should only be used if a rapid thermal equilibrium is possible in the protect-
ed object, e.g. with belted cables. If the three phases are, however, more or less ther-
mally isolated (e.g. single conductor cables or overhead lines), one of the maximum
settings should be chosen at any rate.
2.14.3 Settings
The table indicates region-specific presettings. Column C (configuration) indicates the
corresponding secondary nominal current of the current transformer.
