5.8 L: Protection Functions
n L1-02: Motor Overload Protection Time
Sets the time for the drive to shut down on motor overload (oL1) when the motor is running with excessive current. Enter the
time the motor can withstand operating at 150% current after previously running at 100% current (hot motor overload
condition). There is normally no need to change this parameter from the default value.
No.
L1-02
Defaulted to operate with an allowance of 150% overload operation for one minute in a hot start after continuous operation
at 100%.
Figure 5.66 illustrates an example of the electrothermal protection operation time using a general-purpose motor operating at
the value of E1-06, Motor Base Speed, with L1-02 set to one minute.
Motor overload protection operates in the area between a cold start and a hot start.
• Cold start: Characteristics of motor protection operation time in response to an overload situation that was suddenly reached
when starting a stationary motor.
• Hot start: Characteristics of motor protection operation time in response to an overload situation that occurred while the
motor was operating continuously at or below its rated current.

n Motor Protection Using a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Thermistor
Connect a motor PTC can to an analog input of the drive for motor overheat protection.
The motor overheat alarm level triggers an oH3 alarm and the drive continues the operation selected in L1-03. The overheat
fault level triggers an oH4 fault, outputs a fault signal, and the drive stops the motor using the stop method selected in L1-04.
Connect the PTC between terminals AC and A3 and install a 12 kOhm resistor between terminals V+ and A3 as shown in
Figure 5.67. Set H3-05 to 0 and H3-06 to E.
Note: A 12 kOhm resistor must be connected between one of the terminals A1, A2, or A3 and V+ for PTC functionality. Connect the 12 kOhm
resistor to the same terminal as the PTC input. Do not connect terminals V+ to AC, or damage to the drive may result.
