Exponent 
(4 fields) 

Allows you to enter the exponent parameter used in the temperature 
calculation for each of the four Cooling Modes. The exponent describes 
the “rise” curve of the winding temperature above the oil temperature. 
When installing a 509ITM on older transformers, this information might 
be difficult to obtain. In those cases, Qualitrol recommends: 

  For ONAN (natural convection): 1.6 

  For ONAF (natural convection; forced air 

 fans only): 1.6 

  For OFAF (forced oil; forced air 

 fans and pumps): 1.8 

  For ODAF (directed forced oil and forced air): 2.0 

Winding Time 
Constant 
(4 fields) 

Allows you to enter a time constant for each of the four cooling modes. 
The time constant is defined as the time required to reach 63.2% of the 
final winding temperature rise for a specific load increase. The winding 
temperature reaches its final value for a given load in approximately five 
time constants. 

 

Note: 

 

You can program the 509ITM for up to four cooling modes, including natural 
convection. If there are less than four cooling modes, the unused rows should match 
the last configured row. 

Do not enter zeroes as a value

This section of the 

Advanced CT Temperature Scaling Setup

 window

 includes the 

parameters that are required if you want to use the Critical Forecast section of the 
TransLife

TM

 Setup. If you are not using the Critical Forecast feature, leave these parameters 

at the default values. 

The fields in this section are described below. 

 

Oil Rise 
(4 fields) 

Allows you to set the temperature rise value of the oil of the transformer 
at nominal load. This is derived from the Transformer Heat Run Report 
by taking the Oil Rise Temperature over ambient at nominal load and 
subtracting the Ambient Test Temperature.
