The thermal trip time calculator The calculated thermal trip times on this page are based on the theory that most motor trip times follow the exponential law 1 - 1/e^x. That being the case the trip time can be calculated from any prior thermal state using the following formula. T = Tau x log_e((M² - P²)/(M² - O²)) Where Tau = The time for the motor to reach 63.21 percent hot under normal FLC conditions M = The multiple of FLC applied P = The prior thermal state of the motor before the fault current was applied O = The max overload setting of the relay before a trip will occur i.e. The permanent overload withstand For example, for a 60A motor if a 120A fault current was simulated then M would equal 2. If needing to calculate the trip time from cold then P would equal zero. If needing to calculate the trip time from 100% hot then P would equal 1 If the motor has a permanent overload setting of 7 percent (i.e. you can run the motor up to 107 percent FLC without causing a trip) then O would equal 1.07 Remember that all values entered into the calculator should be per unit values and NOT percentages. (i.e. 80 percent = 0.8 as a per unit value) M = Tau = P = O = New website feature!
