How to provide protection considering the cooling characteristics of the motor at low speed
with a self-cooled motor, etc.?
How to freely change the thermal protection characteristics pattern?
How to set the heat dissipation characteristics according to the motor?
How to continue motor protection by accumulating the load ratio even when restarting after
power-off?
How to know the accumulated status of electronic thermal?
A
Basic characteristics of electronic thermal
The electronic thermal function protects the motor from overheating based on the output
current, output frequency and electronic thermal characteristics. By setting the "Electronic
thermal level [b012]
exceeding the rated current continues to flow to the motor. If you want to apply protection
earlier, set it lower than the motor rated current.
The basic characteristics (time-limited characteristics) of the electronic thermal changes with
the setting of "Load type selection [b049]". Each basic characteristics (time-limited
characteristic) is shown in the figure below.
By setting "Electronic thermal characteristic selection [b013]
characteristics (reduction ratio according to operating frequency) according to the motor to be
used. For details, refer to the following pages.
If the motor current becomes unstable due to disturbance, etc., the motor may trip earlier than
the specified time.
