model assuming Select Motor 2 Parameters (11.045) = 0. If Select Motor 2 Parameters (11.045) = 1 then M2 Motor Rated Current (21.007)
and M2 Motor Thermal Time Constant 1 (21.016) are used instead.
Percentage Losses
The losses in the motor are calculated as a percentage value, so that under these conditions the Motor Protection Accumulator (04.019) would
eventually reach 100%.
Percentage Losses = 100% x [Load Related Losses]
where
Load Related Losses = (I / (K
where
I = Current Magnitude (04.001)
I = Motor Rated Current (05.007)
Rated
The value of K defines the continuous allowable motor overload as a proportion of the Motor Rated Current (05.007) before the

Motor Protection Accumulator (04.019) reaches 100%. The value of K
to operate under rated conditions with a small margin to prevent spurious trips. K
Motor Protection Accumulator
So far the steady state motor losses have been defined, but the motor model must estimate the temperature within the motor under dynamically
changing conditions, and so the Motor Protection Accumulator (04.019) is given by the following equation.
T = Percentage Losses x (1 - e
where
T = Motor Protection Accumulator (04.019)
τ1 = Motor Thermal Time Constant 1 (04.015)
Reduced cooling with lower frequency
If Low Frequency Thermal Protection Mode (04.025) = 0 the characteristic is intended for a motor which can operate at rated current over the whole
frequency range. Induction motors with this type of characteristic normally have forced cooling. If Low Frequency Thermal Protection Mode (04.025) = 1
the characteristic is intended for motors where the cooling effect of motor fan reduces with reduced motor frequency below half of rated frequency. The
maximum value for K is 1.05, so that above the knee of the characteristics the motor can operate continuously up to 105% of rated current.

If Motor Rated Current (05.007) > Maximum Heavy Duty Rating (11.032) then K
but in both cases the motor performance is limited at lower frequencies and the permissible overload is reduced from 105% to 101%.
