Stop voltage
The parameter "stop voltage" sets the voltage value whereby run-down type
"voltage ramp" aborts the run-down, i.e. is switched off.
Current limitation value
The parameter "current limitation value" limits the start-up current to the param-
eterized value.
Duty cycle
The relative duty cycle in % is the ratio between the load duration and cycle
time for consumer units that are frequently switched off and on.
The duty cycle can be calculates according to the following formula:

Switching frequency
To prevent a thermal capacity overload of the devices, the maximum permitted
switching frequency must be adhered to without fail. To this end, the parameter
"Response to overload – thermal motor model" must be deactivated (deactiva-
tion without restart). Furthermore, the idle time for the cooling down character-
istics of the thermal motor model must be disabled in the default setting = 0
(see Chapter 8.2.7
The following tables provide an overview of the switching frequencies / hour
according to the influencing factors.
