Electronic Thermal Overload Alarm Setting
The thermal overload detection protects the
inverter and motor from overheating due to
an excessive load. It uses a current/inverse
time curve to determine the trip point.
First, use B013 to select the torque charac-
teristic that matches your load. This allows
the inverter to utilize the best thermal
overload characteristic for your application.
The torque developed in a motor is directly
proportional to the current in the windings,
which is also proportional to the heat generated (and temperature, over time). Therefore,
you must set the thermal overload threshold in terms of current (amperes) for parameter
B012. The range is 20% to 120% of the rated current for each inverter model. If the
current exceeds the level you specify, the inverter will trip and log an event (error E05) in
the history table. The inverter turns the motor output OFF when tripped. Separate
settings are available for the second motor (if applicable) as shown in the following
table.
