3 Parameter Description
3.14.9 No Trip at Inverter Overload
In some pump systems, the adjustable frequency drive has not been sized properly to yield the current needed in all points of the operational flow-head
characteristic. At these points, the pump will need a current higher than the rated current of the adjustable frequency drive. The adjustable frequency
drive can yield 110% of the rated current continuously for 60 sec. If still overloaded, the adjustable frequency drive will normally trip (causing the pump
to stop by coasting) and provide an alarm.

It may be preferable to run the pump at reduced speed for a while in case it is not possible to run continuously at demanded capacity.

The adjustable frequency drive estimates the load on the power section by means of an inverter load counter, which will cause a warning at 98% and a
reset of the warning at 90%. At the value 100%, the adjustable frequency drive trips and provides an alarm.
