Wiring protection
Provide the appropriate UL and cUL listed class T type fuse that are suitable for branch circuit protection in accordance
with the table below

Motor overload protection
When using the electronic thermal relay as motor overload protection, set the rated motor current to Pr. 9 Electronic thermal
O/L relay.

(% to the rated input current)
CAUTION
Protective function by electronic thermal relay function is reset by inverter power reset and reset signal input. Avoid unnecessary reset
and power-off.
When multiple motors are operated by a single inverter, protection cannot be provided by the electronic thermal relay function. Install
an external thermal relay to each motor.
When the difference between the inverter and motor capacities is large and the setting is small, the protective characteristics of the
electronic thermal relay function will be deteriorated. In this case, use an external thermal relay.
A special motor cannot be protected by the electronic thermal relay function. Use a external thermal relay.
Electronic thermal relay does not function when 5 % or less of inverter rated current is set to electronic thermal relay setting.

This function detects the overload (overheat) of the
motor, stops the operation of the inverter's output
transistor, and stops the output.
When using the Mitsubishi constant-torque motor set
"1" or any of "13 to 18", "50", "53" or "54" in Pr. 71. This
provides a 100 % continuous torque characteristic in
the low-speed range. Set the rated current of the motor
in Pr. 9.
*1
When a value 50 % of the inverter rated output current (current
value) is set in Pr. 9.
*2
The % value denotes the percentage to the inverter rated
output current. It is not the percentage to the motor rated
current.
*3
When you set the electronic thermal relay function
dedicated to the Mitsubishi constant-torque motor, this
characteristic curve applies to operation at 6 Hz or higher.
