The trip delay indicates the maximum period of time
during which the overload condition is allowed to
exist, for example 5 seconds.
Example
A pump is to cut out after 900 ms because the rated
current has been exceeded.
• Select trip class "P".
• Set the overload limit to 10 A (the rated motor
current is stated on the nameplate).
• Set the trip delay to 900 ms.
Figure 20, curve 1:The pump has an abnormal
startup time, and the current exceeds 10 A. MP 204
trips after 900 ms.
Figure 20, curve 2:The pump has a normal startup
time, and the current exceeds 10 A only briefly
(< 900 ms). MP 204 does not trip.
The curves are examples and cannot be used for
readings.
