Selection and protection of a motor
(2) Electronic thermal O/L relay operation under IPM motor control (Pr.9)
This function detects the overload (overheat) of the motor and trips the inverter by stopping the operation of the transistor
at the inverter output side. (The operation characteristic is shown below.)
Set the rated current (A) of the motor in Pr.9.
Performing IPM parameter initialization automatically sets the rated current of the IPM motor. (Refer to page 86)
Set "0" in Pr.9 when you do not want to activate the electronic thermal relay function. An example for this case is when
using an external thermal relay for the motor. (Note that the output transistor protection of the motor is activated.

Protective function by electronic thermal relay function is reset by inverter power reset and reset signal input. Avoid
unnecessary reset and power-OFF.
