Protection functions
are scaled for different temperatures. The scaled currents are known as internal FLC.
An internal FLC is calculated based on the ambient temperature shown in the table.
The
are based on FLC or internal FLC.
When the value of the
mode, no internal FLC is calculated. Instead, the FLC given in the data sheet of
the manufacturer is used. When the value of the
set to "Set Amb Temp" mode, the internal FLC is calculated based on the ambient
temperature taken as an input through the
Env temperature mode setting is on "Use input" mode, the internal FLC is calculated
from temperature data available through resistance temperature detectors ( RTDs)
using the AMB_TEMP input.

The ambient temperature is used for calculating thermal level and it is available in
the monitored data view from the TEMP_AMB output. The activation of the BLOCK
input does not affect the TEMP_AMB 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:
