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. When the drive detects a motor overload an oL1 fault is triggered and the
drive output shuts 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 closes 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 or if multiple motors are connected to a single drive. If multiple
motors are connected to a single drive, install a thermal relay for each motor as shown in
NOTICE: Thermal protection cannot be provided when running multi-motors simultaneously with the same drive, or when using motors with
a relatively high current rating compared to other standard motors (such as a submersible motor). 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 maximum load current 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.

Setting 4: PM Derated Torque Motor
Use this setting when operating a PM motor. PM motors for derated torque have a self-cooling design and the maximum load
current drops as the motor slows. Electronic thermal overload is triggered in accordance with the motor overload characteristics,
providing overheat protection across the entire speed range.

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.
