Voltage Unbalance

Voltage unbalance is detected by monitoring the three phase supply
voltages. The formula used to calculate the percentage voltage
unbalance is as follows:

V

u

= 100 (V

d

/ V

a

)

V

u

: Percent voltage unbalance

V

d

: Maximum voltage deviation from the average voltage

V

a

: Average voltage

The controller will shut down when the calculated voltage unbalance
reaches the user-programmed trip percentages.

Stall Protection

Stall protection is enabled at the end of the programmed ramp time
after a motor has been started. If the controller senses that the motor
is not up-to-speed at the end of ramp, it will shut down after the user-
selected delay time has elapsed.

Jam Detection

Jam detection operates when the SMC Dialog Plus controller status is
“at speed.” The controller will shut down when the motor current
reaches the user-defined trip level, which is based on a percentage of
the programmed motor full load current rating.

Overload Protection

Overload protection is enabled in the Calibration group by
programming the:

Overload class

Overload reset

Motor FLC

Service factor

Refer to Chapter 5 for more information on calibration.

Underload

Underload protection is available for undercurrent monitoring. The
controller will shut down when the motor current drops below the trip
level. This trip level, a percentage of the motor’s full load current
rating, can be programmed.

Voltage unbalance protection is disabled during braking operation.

Jam detection and underload protection are disabled during slow speed and braking operation.
