Protection functions

• If the ambient temperature measurement value is not connected to the
AMB_TEMP input in ACT.
• When the ambient temperature measurement connected to 49M is set to "Not in
use" in the RTD function.
• In case of any errors or malfunctioning in the RTD output.
Thermal level calculator
The module calculates the thermal load considering the TRMS and negative-sequence
currents. The heating up of the motor is determined by the square value of the load
current.
However, in case of unbalanced phase currents, the negative-sequence current also
causes additional heating. By deploying a protection based on both current
components, abnormal heating of the motor is avoided.
The thermal load is calculated based on different situations or operations and it also
depends on the phase current level. The equations used for the heating calculations
are:

The equation θ is used when the values of all the phase currents are below the
B
overload limit, that is, k x I
phase currents exceeds the overload limit.
During overload condition, the thermal level calculator calculates the value of θ
background, and when the overload ends the thermal level is brought linearly from θ
to θ with a speed of 1.66 percent per second. For the motor at standstill, that is, when
B
the current is below the value of 0.12 x I
