14.7.3.5.3 Thermal memory
To prevent machine overheating in the case of intermittent negative phase sequence current, the
internal time counter is not cleared when the negative phase sequence current falls below the
start threshold. Instead, it is linearly decremented with time, using a user-configurable slope (i.e.
Time Decreasing Rate). 100% means full memory, 0% means no memory.
