Motor protection with temperature sensor

Introduction
You can use one of the following temperature sensors to protect the motor against overheating:
• Temperature switch (e.g. bimetallic switch)
• PTC sensor
• KTY 84 sensor
• Pt1000 sensor
Connect the motor temperature sensor to the Power Module through the motor power cable.

Function description
KTY84 sensor
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 become damaged due to
overheating, as the converter cannot detect a motor overtemperature condition.
• Connect the KTY sensor with the correct polarity.
