FĆ14 Electronic Thermal Overload

This parameter sets the trip level

for the electronic thermal

overload fault (OL) when

FĆ15 = ON.

Parameter Range:

Default Setting:

Step Size:

20% to 100% rated current

100%

1%

This parameter should be adjusted if the motor current rating is less than the Drive current rating.

Use the formula below to calculate the setting level as a percentage of maximum continuous current:

FĆ14 = Motor Full Load Current

Drive Output Rated Current

x 100

The motor full load current value can be found on the motor nameplate. See Table 2.A or the Drive

nameplate for the Drive rated output value.

FĆ15 Electronic Thermal Overload Enable

This parameter enables or

disables the electronic motor

thermal overload function. This

function operates like a motor

thermal switch to protect the

motor from overheating.

Parameter Range:

Default Setting:

Step Size:

OFF = No electronic thermal overload

protection.

ON = Electronic thermal overload

protection is active.

ON

N/A

!

ATTENTION: Parameter FĆ15 must be set to ON in single motor applications to guard against

damage from overheating or combustion of surrounding materials. Failure to observe this

precation could result in fire or damage to or destruction of the motor and the drive.

When FĆ15 = ON, the Drive faults if it exceeds the thermal overload time (60 seconds at 150% of FĆ14).

When an external thermal switch or other overtemperature monitoring device is connected to the function

loss circuit (terminals 10 and 11), this parameter may be set ON or OFF.

For multiĆmotor applications, set this parameter to OFF. The individual motors must have thermal switch

protection.
