It is shown that when the non-isothermal trapped electron current is rederived based on the orbit-limited motion theory, the variable dust charge can be expressed in terms of the Lambert function. One can then take advantage of this new transcendental function to illustrate how variable-charge nonlinear trapped dust modes can be investigated semi-analytically.
