This edition supersedes the first edition of IEC 60255-8 (1978) and IEC 60255-17 (1982).Applies to dependent specified time electrical measuring relays which protect equipment from electrical thermal damage by the measurement of current flowing in protected equipment. States the particular requirements for thermal electrical relays. Is to be read in conjunction with higher level documents in the IEC 60255 series.
IEC 60255-149:2013 specifies minimum requirements for thermal protection relays. This standard includes specification of the protection function, measurement characteristics and test methodologies. The object is to establish a common and reproducible reference for evaluating dependent time relays which protect equipment from thermal damage by measuring a.c. current flowing through the equipment. Complementary input energizing quantities such as ambient, coolant, top oil and winding temperature may be applicable for the thermal protection specification set forth in this standard. This standard covers protection relays based on a thermal model with memory function.
