Purpose
Motor protection from overheat
Use the constant torque motor
The motor performance can be maxi-
mized for operation in magnetic flux
vector control method.
6.8.1
Motor overheat protection (Electronic thermal O/L relay) (Pr. 9, Pr. 51)
The FR-E700SC EC/ENE frequency inverters have an internal electronic motor protection function that
monitors the motor frequency and motor current. Overload conditions are identified and the motor
protection function is triggered on the basis of these two factors, in combination with the rated motor
current. The electronic motor protection function is primarily for protection against overheating at in-
termediate speeds and high motor torques. The reduced cooling performance of the motor fan under
these conditions is also taken into account.

The initial value of the FR-E720S-050SC or less and FR-E740-026SC or less is set to 85% of the
rated inverter current.
The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 "User group read selection" = 0.
When parameter is read using the FR-PU04, a parameter name different from an actual parameter
is displayed.
