Remedies:
1. Use the electronic thermal overload built into the inverter.
The setting of the electronic thermal overload is done using parameter
2. Reduce the inverter's PWM carrier frequency. However, that will increase the motor's acoustic noise.
The setting of PWM carrier frequency is done with the parameter
3. This can be improved by installing 0.1µ~0.5µF-1000V film capacitor to the input/output terminals of each
phase in the thermal overload relay.

(2) CT and ammeter
If a CT and ammeter are connected externally to measure inverter output current, the leakage current's high
frequency component may destroy the ammeter or CT. If the motor cables are more than 50m long, it will be easy
for the high frequency component to pass through the externally connected CT and be superimposed on and
burn the ammeter with models having motors of low rated current, especially the 400V class low capacity
(3.7/4.0kW or less) models, because the leakage current will increase in proportion to the motor's rated current.
Remedies:
1. Use a meter output terminal in the inverter control circuit.
The output current can be output on the meter output terminal (AM, FM). If the meter is connected, use an
ammeter of 1mAdc full scale or a voltmeter of 7.5Vdc-1mA full scale.
Inverter output terminal (FM) can be changed to 0-20mAdc (4-20mAdc) with
2. Use the monitor functions built into the inverter.
Use the monitor functions on the panel built into the inverter to check current values.
