Calculation of Emergency Ratings of Less. Than 2 Hours Duration Winter and summer emergency ratings of less than 2 hours duration can be determined as follows: e2 r e2 n n 0 I II / max max /(I e t / ) max 1/ n Where, = Emergency rating of less than 2 hours (amperes) t = Rating duration (minutes) 0 = Winter minimum temperature (C) max n = Summer maximum Temperature (C) = Thermal time constant of a line trap10 (minutes)
