You are installing a GENESIS Series Brushless DC (BLDC) drive and motor. You must consider how
the motor will be protected while it is in service. These protections built into your system:
1. “F” Series motors have a thermal switch that opens at high winding temperatures. You must
connect this switch to the drive. Look up the method of connection in the drive manual. When the thermal
switch opens, the drive must shut off before high temperatures cause damage.
2. The Model 1000AR drive provides current limiting. This protection is adjustable from 0% to 150%
of the drive’s rated output current.
3. The Model 1000AR drive provides an over-current trip. The drive shuts off the drive if peak
currents greater than 300% of the RMS rating occur.
4. The Model 1000AR drive provides fast clearing fuses in the AC input. It does not provide an input
circuit breaker unless you chose that option at the time of purchase. If you did not purchase a circuit
breaker with the drive, you must supply a means to disconnect main power.. You must do this in order to
meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code.
5. GENESIS series drives do not provide running overload protection as described in Underwriters
Laboratories Industrial Control Equipment Specification 508. The user is responsible for complying with
local codes and practices. If you decide that you need more protection, that protection must shut off the
drive.
