Selection and protection of a motor

Purpose
Motor protection from overheat
Use the constant-torque motor
The motor performance can be
maximized for operation in magnetic
flux vector control method.
4.9.1
Motor overheat protection (Electronic thermal O/L relay, PTC thermistor protection)
(Pr. 9, Pr. 51, Pr. 561)
Set the current of the electronic thermal relay function to protect the motor from overheat. This feature provides the
optimum protective characteristics, including reduced motor cooling capability, at low speed.

The % value denotes the percentage to the rated inverter output current. It is not the percentage to the rated motor current.

When you set the electronic thermal O/L relay dedicated to the Mitsubishi constant-torque motor, this characteristic curve applies to operation at 6Hz or higher.
(Refer to page 123 for the operation characteristic.)
NOTE
 Internal accumulated heat value of the 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
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 an external thermal relay.
 The operation time of the transistor protection thermal shortens when the Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection setting value
increases.

PTC thermistor protection is inactive.
This function detects the overload (overheat) of the
motor and trips. (The operation characteristic is shown
on the left)
 Set the rated current (A) of the motor in Pr. 9.
(If the motor has both 50Hz and 60Hz rating and the
Pr. 3 Base frequency is set to 60Hz, set the 1.1 times of
the 60Hz rated motor current.)
 Set "0" in Pr. 9 when you do not want to operate the
electronic thermal O/L relay, e.g. when using an external
thermal relay with the motor. (Note that the output
transistor protection of the inverter functions (E.THT).)
 When using a Mitsubishi constant-torque motor
1) Set "1" or "13", "50", "53" in any of Pr. 71. (This
provides
a
characteristic in the low-speed range.
2) Set the rated current of the motor in Pr. 9.
