Motor load monitoring (I2xt)
The Inverter Drives 8400 are provided with a simple, sensorless, thermal I
2
xt motor monitoring of
self-ventilated standard motors which is based on a mathematical model.
• In
displays the calculated motor load in [%]..
• If the motor load reaches the switch-off threshold set in
:
• The error response set in
will be carried out (Lenze setting: "Warning").
• The "
" error message will be entered into the logbook.
• A setting of
= "0: No Reaction" deactivates the monitoring.
Adjustment of the motor utilisation meter
The motor utilisation meter for indicating the motor load in
begins to count when the appa-
rent motor current (
) is greater than the set overload threshold (
).
The overload threshold (
) is to be set as follows:
• If you reduce
starting from the calculated value, the motor utilisation meter will already
be counted up before the rated overload threshold is reached.
• If you reduce
starting from the calculated value, the motor utilisation meter will already
be counted up before the rated overload threshold is reached.
Stop!
The I
2
xt motor monitoring does not present full motor protection! As the motor utilisa-
tion calculated in the thermal motor model is lost after mains switching, for instance the
following operating states cannot be measured correctly:
• Restarting (after mains switching) of a motor that is already very hot.
• Change of the cooling conditions (e.g. cooling air flow interrupted or too warm).
A full motor protection requires additional measures as e.g. the evaluation of tempera-
ture sensors that are located directly in the winding or the use of thermal contacts.
Note!
From version 03.04.00
, the thermal motor load displayed in
can be pre-initialised
when the device is connected to the mains, optionally using a fixed value or the value
used last at the time when the device was switched off. The desired initialisation is se-
. In the Lenze setting of
, the behaviour remains unchanged (no initi-
alisation).
