type) Selection
 
These functions are to protect the motor from 
overheating without using additional thermal 
overload relay. Inverter calculates the 
temperature rise of the motor using several 
parameters and determines whether or not the 
motor is overheating. Inverter will turn off its 
output and display a trip message when the 
electronic thermal feature is activated. 
 
 
 
 
This function activates the ETH parameters by 
setting ‘Yes’. 
 
 
 
 
This is the reference current when the inverter 
determines the motor has overheated. Inverter 
trips in 1 minute when 150% of rated motor 
current established in FU2-33 flows for 1 minute. 
 
☞ 
Note: The set value is the percentage of FU2-33 [Rated Motor
Current].
 
 
 
 
This is the current at which the motor can run 
continuously. Generally, this value is set to ‘100%’ 
and which means the rated motor current set in 
FU2-33. This value must be set less than FU1-51 
[ETH 1min]. 
 
☞ 
Note: The set value is the percentage of FU2-33 [Rated Motor
Current].
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[Motor i

t Characteristic Curve]
 
 
 
 
To make the ETH function (Motor i
2
t) work
correctly, the motor cooling method must be 
selected correctly according to the motor. 
 
[Self-cool] is a motor that has a cooling fan 
connected directly to the shaft of the motor. 
Cooling effects of a self-cooled motor decrease 
when a motor is running at low speeds. The motor 
current is derated as the motor speed decreases. 
 
[Forced-cool] is a motor that uses a separate 
motor to power a cooling fan. As the motor speed 
changes, the cooling effect does not change. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[Load Current Derating Curve]
 
☞ 
Note: Despite the motor current changing frequently due to
load fluctuation or acceleration and deceleration, the inverter 
calculates the i
2
t and accumulates the value to protect the
motor.
