Overload Protection - Siemens SIMOCODE pro System Manual

3.2

Overload protection

Description
SIMOCODE pro protects three-phase and AC motors in compliance with
IEC 60947-4-1. The trip class can be set to 8 different settings, ranging from
Class 5 to Class 40. Thus, the tripping time can be adapted precisely to the
power-up behavior of the motor, improving performance. Additionally, the
"Thermal motor model" and time to overload trip are calculated and made
available to the control system. After an overload trip, the remaining cooling
down period is displayed (see Class). The motor current is saved in the case
of an overload trip.
Depending on the control function, the set current I
parameterizable for one or two speeds (I
The motor rated current is usually set with set current I
found on the type plate of the motor. It is the basis for calculating the
overload trip characteristic curve.

overload protection for the higher speed is also ensured. Generally, I
should be set higher than I

Transformation ratio - active
When using an interposing transformer, or if the main supply cable is looped
several times through the current measuring module or the current/voltage
measuring module, you can enter the transformation ratio of the interposing
transformer.
Activate the checkbox if you wish to use this option.
The parameterized set current thus continues to correspond to the actual
nominal motor current and does not have to be converted.
The transformation ratio is calculated from the ratio between nominal motor
current [A] and measuring current [A] or any multiple of this ratio.
Note
This parameter is only available when using basic unit 2 above version
*E03*.
