<strong>P12x</strong>/<strong>EN</strong> AP/<strong>Eb6</strong>Page 32/78Application GuideMiCOM P120/P121/P122/P12311.2 Setting GuidelinesThe current setting is calculated as:Thermal Trip (θtrip) = Permissible continuous loading of the plant equipment / CT ratio.Typical time constant values are given in the following tables. The ‘Time Constant’parameter is given in minutes.Paper insulated lead sheathed cables or polyethylene insulated cables are placed above theground or in conduits. The table shows τ in minutes, for different cable rated voltages andconductor cross-sectional areas:CSA mm 2 6 -11 kV 22 kV 33 kV 66 kV25 - 50 10 15 40 -70 - 120 15 25 40 60150 25 40 40 60185 25 40 60 60240 40 40 60 60300 40 60 60 90Time constant τ (minutes)Other plant items:Time constant τ (minutes)Dry-type transformers 4060 - 90Air-core reactors 40Capacitor banks 10LimitsRating < 400 kVARating 400 - 800 kVAOverhead lines 10 Cross section ≥ 100 mm 2 Cuor 150mm² AlBusbars 60An alarm can be raised when reaching a thermal state corresponding to a percentage of thetrip threshold. A typical setting might be ‘Thermal Trip’ = 70% of thermal capacity.
