Classification Of Faults (Guidelines) Relating To 50% Of Maximum Load<br />

Joule.s Law: P = I 2 R. Use this to proportion the temperature rise to 50% <strong>of</strong> the<br />

load.<br />

For example:<br />

At 20% <strong>of</strong> load, an 8°C rise is seen. To proportion it to 50% <strong>of</strong> load, multiply<br />

by the square <strong>of</strong> the load ratio as follows:<br />

(50/20)² = 6.25; 6.25 x 8°C = 50°C equivalent temperature rise<br />
