its direction of rotation for a short time.

ƒ

The motec heatsink has an operating temperature > 60 °C:
– Direct skin contact with the heatsink results in burns.

Device protection

ƒ

Frequent switching of the supply voltage (e.g. inching mode via mains contactor)
can overload and destroy the input current limitation of the controller:
– Wait for at least 3 minutes between two starting operations.

ƒ

Only switch contactors in the motor cable when the controller is inhibited.
Otherwise ...
– monitoring functions of the controller can be activated.
– the controller can be destroyed under unfavourable operating conditions.

Motor protection

ƒ

For some controller settings, the connected motor may overheat (e.g. when
operating the DC injection brake or a self−ventilated motor at low speed for longer
periods).
– Using an overcurrent relay or a temperature monitoring device provides a large

degree of protection against overload.

– We recommend to use PTC thermistors or thermal contacts for motor temperature

monitoring. (Lenze three−phase AC motors are equipped with thermal contacts
(NC contacts) as standard)

– PTC thermistors or thermal contacts can be connected to the controller.

Protection of the machine/system

ƒ

Drives can attain dangerous overspeeds (e.g. setting of high output frequencies with
motors and machines not qualified for this purpose).
– The controllers do not offer any protection against these operating conditions. Use

additional components for this purpose.
