The thermal overload protection element corresponds to the IEC 255-8 standard and is used to detect thermal overload
conditions in protected power system elements. Choosing an appropriate time constant element can be used to protect dif-
ferent elements of the power system. The cold curve characteristic is applied when the previous averaged load current over
the last 5 cycles is less than 10% of the base current. If this current is greater or equal than 10% than the base current, then
the hot curve characteristic is applied.
The IEC255-8 cold curve is defined as follows:
The IEC255-8 hot curve is defined as follows:
In the above equations,
•
t
= time to operate.
op
•
τ
= thermal protection trip time constant.
op
•
I = measured overload RMS current.
•
I
= measured load RMS current before overload occurs.
p
•
k= IEC 255-8 k-factor applied to I
•
I
= protected element base (nominal) current.
