Function description
Thermal overload protection, two
time constants
8.7.2
Functionality
If a power transformer reaches very high temperatures the equipment might be damaged. The
insulation within the transformer will experience forced ageing. As a consequence of this the risk
of internal phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults will increase.
The thermal overload protection estimates the internal heat content of the transformer
(temperature) continuously. This estimation is made by using a thermal model of the transformer
with two time constants, which is based on current measurement.
Two warning pickup levels are available. This enables actions in the power system to be done
before dangerous temperatures are reached. If the temperature continues to increase to the trip
value, the protection initiates a trip of the protected transformer.
The estimated time to trip before operation is presented.
