The possibility to change time constant with the current value as the base can be useful in
different applications. Below some examples are given:
• In case a total interruption (low current) of the protected transformer all cooling possibilities
will be inactive. This can result in a changed value of the time constant.
• If other components (motors) are included in the thermal protection, there is a risk of
overheating of that equipment in case of very high current. The thermal time constant is often
smaller for a motor than for the transformer.
ITrip: The steady state current that the transformer can withstand. The setting is given in % of
IBase1 or IBase2 .
Alarm1 : Heat content level for activation of the signal ALARM1. ALARM1 is set in % of the trip heat
content level.
Alarm2 : Heat content level for activation of the output signal ALARM2. ALARM2 is set in % of the
trip heat content level.
LockoutReset : Lockout release level of heat content to release the lockout signal. When the
thermal overload protection trips a lock-out signal is activated. This signal is intended to block
switching on of the protected circuit transformer as long as the transformer temperature is high.
The signal is released when the estimated heat content is below the set value. This temperature
value should be chosen below the alarm temperature.
content level.
ThetaInit : Heat content before activation of the function. This setting can be set a little below the
alarm level. If the transformer is loaded before the activation of the protection function, its
temperature can be higher than the ambient temperature. The start point given in the setting will
prevent risk of no trip at overtemperature during the first moments after activation.

Warning : If the calculated time to trip factor is below the setting Warning a warning signal is
activated. The setting is given in minutes.
