Ride-Through Calculator


The SEL-RPM stores energy for riding through interruptions of all input sources. The ride-through time depends on the input voltage, the load, and the device dropout voltage. Use the following calculator to estimate the ride-through time.

Data Input

Description Value
Initial voltage at the SEL-RPM output at time of power loss of all sources (V INITIAL [volts])
V
Dropout voltage of the connected device (V DROPOUT [volts])
V
Constant power load connected to the SEL-RPM during the ride through (P load [watts])
W

Results

Description Value
Ride-through time (T [seconds])

Trip Energy Ride-Through Calculator


With its stored energy capacity, the SEL-RPM can power relays and provide energy for trip coils. Use the following calculator to help determine the maximum ride-through time that will ensure enough energy is available to energize connected trip coils.

Data Input

Description Value
Initial voltage at the SEL-RPM output at time of power loss of all sources (V INITIAL [volts])
V
Minimum working voltage of the trip coil (V f [volts])
V
Resistance of the trip coil (R coil [ohms])
Ω
Constant power load connected to the SEL-RPM during the ride through (P load [watts])
W
Operate time for the breaker (T [seconds])
s

Results

Description Value
Maximum time after power loss of all sources at which trip coil should be energized (t1 [seconds])
Minimum voltage at the SEL-RPM output at which trip coil should be energized (V t [volts])
