Advanced commissioning 7.7 Protection functions Protection functions The frequency inverter offers protective functions against overtemperature and overcurrent for both the frequency inverter as well as the motor. Further, the frequency inverter protects itself against an excessively high DC link voltage when the motor is regenerating. 7.7.1 Inverter temperature monitoring The inverter temperature is essentially defined by the following effects:...
Page 227
Advanced commissioning 7.7 Protection functions Overload response for p0290 = 0 The inverter responds depending on the control mode that has been set: ● 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.
Page 228
Advanced commissioning 7.7 Protection functions 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.
