L1: Motor Protection Functions

n 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 frequency, thermal motor characteristics, and time. An oL1 fault will be triggered when motor overload is detected.
L1-01 sets the overload protection function characteristics according to the motor being used.
No.
L1-01
<1> Setting 6 is available in drive software versions PRG: 1016 and later.
Note: 1. When the motor protection function is enabled (L1-01 is not set to zero), 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. Select a method to protect the motor from overheat by setting L1-01 to a value between 1 and 4; use setting 6 when running a single
motor from the drive. An external thermal relay is not required.
Setting 0: Disabled - Motor Overload Protection is not Provided
This setting should be used if no motor overheat protection is desired or if multiple motors are connected to one drive. In
this case it is recommended that you install a thermal relay for each motor as show in
NOTICE: Protect each motor with individual thermal overloads when multiple motors are connected to one drive. Failure to comply
could result in motor damage. Disable the electronic overload protection of the drive (L1-01 = "0: Disabled") and protect each motor
with individual motor thermal overloads.
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.
Overload Tolerance
Setting 2: Drive Dedicated Motor (constant torque, 1:10)
Use this setting when operating a drive duty motor with a torque ratio of 1:10. This motor type is allowed to run with 100%
load from 10% up to 100% speed. Running slower speeds with full load can trigger an overload fault.

Overload Characteristics
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.
