5.2.8 Setting Motor Overload Detection Level
(2) Changing Detection Timing of Overload Alarm (A.720)
An overload alarm (continuous overload) can be detected earlier to protect the motor from overloading. The
time required to detect an overload alarm can be shortened by using the derated motor base current obtained
with the following equation. The detection level of the overload (instantaneous overload) alarm (A.710) can-
not be changed.
Motor base current × Derating of base current at detecting motor overload of Motor (Pn52C)
= Derated motor base current
Motor base current: Threshold value of motor current to start calculation for overload alarm
Derating of motor base current at detecting motor overload of Motor (Pn52C): Derating of motor base current
The following graph shows an example of the detection of an overload alarm when Pn52C is set to 50%. The
calculation for the overload alarm of motors starts at 50% of the motor base current and then an overload
alarm will be detected earlier.
Changing the setting of Pn52C will change the detection timing of the overload alarm, so the time required to
detect the overload warning will also be changed.
