The 489 takes the information provided and create protection curves for any voltage between the minimum and 100%. For
values above the voltage in question, the 489 extrapolates the safe stall protection curve to 110% voltage. This current
level is calculated by taking the locked rotor current at 100% voltage and multiplying by 1.10. For trip times above the 110%
current level, the trip time of 110% will be used (see the figure below).
Figure 4–15: VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CURVES
The safe stall curve is in reality a series of safe stall points for different voltages. For a given voltage, there can be
only one value of stall current, and therefore only one safe stall time.
