Selection and protection of a motor
(1) Electronic thermal O/L relay (Pr. 9)
This function detects the overload (overheat) of the motor and trips. (The operation characteristic is shown below)
Set the rated current (A) of the motor in Pr. 9.
Set "0" in Pr. 9 when you do not want to operate the electronic thermal O/L relay, e.g. when using an external thermal relay with
the motor. (Note that the output transistor protection of the drive unit is activated (E.THT).)
To use the S-PM geared motor, perform the PM parameter initialization to automatically set the rated motor current for the
S-PM motor.
NOTE
The internal accumulated heat value of the electronic thermal relay function is reset by the drive unit's power reset or
a reset signal input. Avoid unnecessary resets and power-OFFs.
(2) Electronic thermal relay function pre-alarm (TH) and alarm (THP) signal
The alarm (THP) signal is output and electronic thermal relay function pre-alarm (TH) is displayed when the electronic
thermal O/L relay cumulative value reaches 85% of the level set in Pr. 9. If it reaches 100% of the Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/
L relay setting electronic-thermal relay protection (E.THM) occurs.
The drive unit does not trip even when the alarm (THP) signal is output.
For the terminal used for the THP signal output, assign the function by setting "8 (positive logic) or 108 (negative logic)" in
Pr. 190 or Pr. 192 (output terminal function selection).
100%: Electronic thermal O/L relay alarm operation value
NOTE
Changing the terminal assignment using Pr. 190, Pr. 192 (output terminal function selection) may affect the other functions.
Set parameters after confirming the function of each terminal.
