Scheme Logic
Figure 2.8.2 shows the scheme logic of the thermal overload protection.
The thermal overload element THM has independent thresholds for alarm and trip, and outputs
alarm signal THM ALARM and trip signal THM TRIP. The alarming threshold level is set as a
percentage of the tripping threshold.
The alarming and tripping can be disabled by the scheme switches [THMAL] and [THMT]
respectively or binary input signals THMA BLOCK and THM BLOCK.
