Voltage Unbalance

①

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

②

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

②

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.

①

Voltage unbalance protection is disabled during braking operation.

②

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