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.
If the measure cannot prevent an inverter thermal overload, then the inverter switches off the
motor with fault F30024.
Overload response for p0290 = 1
The inverter immediately switches off the motor with fault F30024.
Overload response for p0290 = 2
We recommend this setting for drives with square-law torque characteristic, e.g. fans.
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.
In spite of the temporarily reduced pulse frequency, the base load output current remains
unchanged at the value that is assigned to p1800.
Figure 7-48
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 thermal
overload cannot be prevented, then stage 2 follows:
– In vector control, the inverter reduces its 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.
