Parameter Descriptions
12-9
Set to the motor nameplate rated volts. The motor nameplate base 
voltage defines the output voltage when operating at rated current, 
rated speed, and rated temperature.
Set to the motor nameplate rated full load amps. The motor 
nameplate FLA defines the output amps when operating at rated 
voltage, rated speed, and rated temperature. It is used in the motor 
thermal overload and in the calculation of slip.
This parameter, set in the start-up procedure, is adjustable from 
0 - 200% of drive rating and should be set for the actual motor FLA 
rating. 
About the Motor Thermal Overload Function
The operation of the overload is actually based on three 
parameters: Motor NP FLA (42), Motor OL Factor (48), and Motor 
OL Hertz (47). The motor nameplate full load amps is then 
multiplied by the motor overload factor to allow you to re-define the 
continuous level of current allowed by the motor thermal overload 
function. 
Since the motor thermal overload function cannot distinguish 
individual currents in a multi-motor application, it is suggested that it 
be disabled in these cases. This can be done by setting the correct 
bit in Fault Config (238) to zero to disable the motor thermal 
overload. 
Motor Overload Hz (47) is used to allow you to adjust the response 
of the motor thermal overload to lower motor speeds (lower output 
frequencies) where a higher degree of protection may be required 
due to decreased motor cooling.
