characteristics selection
The electronic thermal protection characteristics selection  is used to enable or disable the motor overload
trip function () and the overload stall function.
The motor overload trip function () needs to be selected with the parameter , while the inverter overload
trip function () is always activated.
Explanation of terms:
Overload stall (Soft stall)
The function of automatically lowering the output frequency before the motor overload trip function
 is activated when the inverter detects that an excessive load is applied to the motor. (Lowers
maximum about 48Hz when basic frequency is 60Hz.) This function enables the inverter to output a
frequency commensurate with the load current so that the motor can keep running without tripping.
This function is useful for such loads as fans, pump, and blowers, which have the square reduction
torque characteristic that the current passed decreases as the rotating speed falls.
Note: Do not use this overload stall function for loads with a constant torque characteristic (to which a
constant load current is always passed regardless of their speed).
[Using standard motors (other than motors intended for use with inverters)]
When a motor is used in the lower frequency range than the rated frequency, that will decrease the cooling effects
for the motor. This speeds up the start of overload detection operations when a standard motor is used in order to
prevent overheating.
