Overload response for p0290 = 3
If you operate the inverter with increased pulse frequency, then the inverter reduces its pulse
frequency starting at the pulse frequency setpoint p1800.
In spite of the temporarily reduced pulse frequency, the maximum output current remains
unchanged at the value that is assigned to the pulse frequency setpoint. Also see p0290 = 2.
Once the overload condition has been removed, the inverter increases the pulse frequency
back to the pulse frequency setpoint p1800.
If it is not possible to temporarily reduce the pulse frequency, or the measure cannot prevent
a power unit thermal overload, then the inverter switches off the motor with fault F30024.
Overload response for p0290 = 12
The inverter responds in two stages:
1. If you operate the inverter with increased pulse frequency setpoint p1800, then the
inverter reduces its pulse frequency starting at p1800.
There is no current derating as a result of the higher pulse frequency setpoint.
Once the overload condition has been removed, the inverter increases the pulse
frequency back to the pulse frequency setpoint p1800.
2. If it is not possible to temporarily reduce the pulse frequency, or the risk of inverter
thermal overload cannot be prevented, then stage 2 follows:
– In vector control, the inverter reduces the output current.
– In U/f control, the inverter reduces the speed.
Once the overload condition has been removed, the inverter re-enables the output
current or speed.
If both measures cannot prevent a power unit thermal overload, then the inverter switches off
the motor with fault F30024.
Overload response for p0290 = 13
We recommend this setting for drives with high starting torque, e.g. horizontal conveyors or
extruders.
If you operate the inverter with increased pulse frequency, then the inverter reduces its pulse
frequency starting at the pulse frequency setpoint p1800.
There is no current derating as a result of the higher pulse frequency setpoint.
Once the overload condition has been removed, the inverter increases the pulse frequency
back to the pulse frequency setpoint p1800.
If it is not possible to temporarily reduce the pulse frequency, or the measure cannot prevent
a power unit thermal overload, then the inverter switches off the motor with fault F30024.
