Motor protection with temperature sensor

Overview
The converter can evaluate one of the following sensors to protect the motor against
overtemperature:
Function description

KTY84 sensor

Using a KTY sensor, the converter monitors the motor temperature in the range -48 °C ...
+248 °C and the sensor itself for wire breakage or short-circuit.
NOTICE
Overheating of the motor due to KTY sensor connected with the incorrect polarity
If a KTY sensor is connected with incorrect polarity, the motor can be damaged by
overheating, as the converter cannot detect a motor overtemperature condition.
● Connect the KTY sensor with the correct polarity.
Settings:
● Temperature monitoring:
– Overtemperature alarm (A07910):
– Overtemperature fault (F07011):
● Sensor monitoring (A07015 or F07016):
– Wire-break:
– Short-circuit:

Evaluated via a converter analog input
- motor temperature > p0604 and p0610 = 0
The converter responds with a fault in the following cases:
- motor temperature > p0605
- motor temperature > p0604 and p0610 > 0
The converter interprets a resistance > 2120 Ω as a wire-break and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100 milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
The converter interprets a resistance < 50 Ω as a short-circuit and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100 milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
