L: Protection Functions

◆ L1: Motor Protection
■ L1-01: Motor Overload Protection Selection
The drive has an electronic overload protection function that estimates the motor overload level based on output current,
output speed, thermal motor characteristics, and time. An oL1 fault will be triggered when motor overload is detected and
drive output will be shut off.
L1-01 sets the overload protection function characteristics according to the motor being used.
No.
L1-01
Note: 1. When the motor protection function is enabled (L1-01≠ 0), an oL1 alarm can be output through one of the multi-function outputs by
setting H2-01 to 1F. The output will close when the motor overload level reaches 90% of the oL1 detection level.
2. Set L1-01 to a value between 1 and 5 when running a single motor from the drive to select a method to protect the motor from
overheat. An external thermal relay is not necessary.
Setting 0: Disabled (motor overload protection is not provided)
Use this setting if no motor overheat protection is desired.
Setting 1: General-purpose motor (standard self-cooled)
Because the motor is self-cooled, the overload tolerance drops when the motor speed is lowered. The drive appropriately
adjusts the electrothermal trigger point according to the motor overload characteristics, protecting the motor from
overheat throughout the entire speed range.

Parameter Name
Motor Overload Protection Selection
Motor designed to operate from line power.
Motor cooling is most effective when running at
rated base frequency (check the motor nameplate or
specifications).
5.8 L: Protection Functions
Setting Range
0 to 3, 5
Cooling Ability
Continuous operation at less than line power
frequency with 100% load can trigger motor
overload protection (oL1). A fault is output and the
motor will coast to stop.
