SYSTEM AND MODULE DATA
Operation in the range of the thermal overload limit
Due to the high steepness of the overload characteristic, the duration of a permissible
overload in this range cannot be determined exactly. Therefore, the design of the drive
inverter should be assumed to have a maximum overload time of 300s.
3.2.5.2 Frequency-dependent maximum current (OL2)
The characteristics of the maximum currents for a switching frequency which are de-
pending on the output frequency are different for each drive inverter, but the following
rules are generally applicable:
•
If error (OL2) shall be triggered on exceeding the maximum currents or if the switching
frequency is automatically reduced (derating) can be adjusted in the drive inverter pa-
rameters.
The following characteristic curve indicates the permissible maximum current for the
output frequency values 0 Hz, 3 Hz, 6 Hz, 12,5 Hz 25 Hz and 50 Hz. Module A is shown
as an example.
