Motor Thermal Model

The M60 features an enhanced motor

thermal model consisting of the following

elements:

• Thermal limit curves – NEMA standard,

voltage dependent and customized

• IEC 60255-8 thermal overload curves

• Current unbalance biasing

• Independent running and stopped

exponential cooling curves

• Optional RTD biasing of the thermal

model to adapt to real-time

temperature measurements

• Compensation for hot/cold motor

conditions

The M60 thermal model integrates both

stator and rotor heating and cooling into

a single model.

FlexCurves™

For applications that require greater

flexibility, FlexCurves can be used to define

custom curve shapes. These curves can

be used to protect motors with different

rotor and stator damage curves, allowing

complete protection over the total motor

capacity.
