for the acceleration time to exceed the safe stall time (keeping in mind that a locked rotor condition is different than an
acceleration condition). The voltage dependent overload curve feature is tailored to protect these types of motors. This
curve is composed of the three characteristic of thermal limit curve shapes as determined by the stall or locked rotor
condition, acceleration, and running overload. The following figure presents the typical thermal limit curve for high inertia
application.
