Figure 171: Thermal behavior
The required overload factor and negative sequence current heating effect factor are
set by the values of the Overload factor and Negative Seq factor settings.
In order to accurately calculate the motor thermal condition, different time constants
are used in the above equations. These time constants are employed based on different
motor running conditions, for example starting, normal or stop, and are set through the
Time constant start, Time constant normal and Time constant stop settings. Only one
time constant is valid at a time.

The Weighting factor p setting determines the ratio of the thermal increase of the two
curves θ and θ .

The thermal level at the power-up of the protection relay is defined by the Initial
thermal Val setting.
The temperature calculation is initiated from the value defined in the Initial thermal
Val setting. This is done if the protection relay is powered up or the function is turned
off and back on or reset through the Clear menu.
The calculated temperature of the protected object relative to the operate level, the
TEMP_RL output, is available through the monitored data view. The activation of the
BLOCK input does not affect the calculated temperature.
The thermal level at the beginning of the start-up condition of a motor and at the end
of the start-up condition is available in the monitored data view at the THERMLEV_ST
