GV3000/SE AC Drive Software Reference, Version 6.06

For V/Hz regulation, the drive trips after 60 seconds at 150% of Motor Nameplate

Amps (H.002) and will display fault code OL. Lower currents above 100% will take

longer to trip (for example, 25 minutes at 110%). The motor overload protection fault

level depends on the settings of the Motor Overload Type selection (P.041) and Motor

Nameplate Amps (H.002).

For vector regulation, the drive trips after 60 seconds at 150% of Motor Nameplate

Amps (U.004) and will display fault code OL. The overload current amount is

automatically calculated by the GV3000/SE software based on the Motor Nameplate

Amps (U.004).

Important: While the electronic thermal overload relay is similar to a motor overload

relay, neither measures actual motor temperature.

Temperature-measuring devices integral to the motor are the best way to

thermally protect AC motors under all conditions.

P.040 Motor Overload Enable

This parameter

enables the

electronic motor

thermal overload

function. This

function operates

similarly to a motor

overload relay to

protect the motor

from overheating.

P.040 applies to

single-motor

applications only.

Parameter Range:

OFF = Disable electronic motor thermal overload

function

ON = Enable motor thermal overload function

Default Setting:

ON

Parameter Type:

Configurable

Refer also to parameters:

P.041 Motor Overload Type

H.002 Motor Nameplate Amps

U.004 Motor Nameplate Amps

!

ATTENTION: For single-motor applications with no external thermal

overload relay, this parameter should always be set to ON. Failure to

observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the

equipment.

P.041 Motor Overload Type

This parameter

specifies the type of

motor being used to

determine the

electronic motor

thermal overload

function

characteristics.

Parameter Range:

nC = Standard motor without forced cooling
FC = Force-cooled motor

Default Setting:

FC

Parameter Type:

Configurable
