Setting the overload factor
The value of Overload factor defines the highest permissible continuous load. The
recommended value is 1.05.
Setting the negative sequence factor
During the unbalance condition, the symmetry of the stator currents is disturbed
and a counter-rotating negative sequence component current is set up. An increased
stator current causes additional heating in the stator and the negative sequence
component current excessive heating in the rotor. Also mechanical problems like
rotor vibration can occur.
The most common cause of unbalance for three-phase motors is the loss of phase
resulting in an open fuse, connector or conductor. Often mechanical problems can
be more severe than the heating effects and therefore a separate unbalance
protection is used.
Unbalances in other connected loads in the same busbar can also affect the motor.
A voltage unbalance typically produces 5 to 7 times higher current unbalance.
Because the thermal overload protection is based on the highest TRMS value of the
phase current, the additional heating in stator winding is automatically taken into
account. For more accurate thermal modeling, the Negative Seq factor setting is
used for taking account of the rotor heating effect.
