2.8. Thermal overload protection T> (49)
The thermal overload function protects the transformer against
excessive temperatures.
Thermal model
The temperature is calculated using rms values of phase
currents and a thermal model according IEC 60255-8. The rms
values is calculated using harmonic components up to the 15
th
.
Thermal time constant tau (Setting value)
Natural logarithm function
Measured rms phase current (the max. value of
three phase currents)
(If temperature
rise is 120%
). This parameter is the
memory of the algorithm and corresponds to the
actual temperature rise.
Overload factor (Maximum continuous current), i.e.
service factor. (Setting value)
