ABSTRACT:
A thermal model of an electric apparatus such as a transformer or motor, from which signals can be obtained representing temperatures of the conductors and of the adjacent core material, includes storing first and second values, respectively, representing conductor temperature and core material temperature. The magnitude of the current(s) in the apparatus is sensed and a digital signal representative thereof is added to the first value to represent heat generated in the conductors. Values are determined for both heat transferred from the conductors and heat transferred into the apparatus core based on the difference in the first and second values. The value representing heat transferred from the conductor is subtracted from the first value to give a new first value and the value representing heat transferred to the core is added to the second value. Another value is determined from heat transferred from the core material, based on the difference between the new second value and a reference value, and this is subtracted from the new second value. This other value may be modified when the electric apparatus is a motor to provide for variations in heat loss between when the motor is rotating and when it is stationary or, when some other form of forced cooling is employed, whether the forced cooling is active or not. The first and second values thus, at all times, representing conductor temperature and core or average temperature and these temperatures can be used to interrupt the supply of power to the apparatus when predetermined levels are exceeded.
