Drive Short Circuit Rating

The drive is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000 RMS symmetrical Amperes, 240 Vac

maximum (200 V Class) and 480 Vac maximum (400 V Class), when protected by Bussmann Type FWH or FWP fuses as

specified in

Drive Motor Overload Protection

Set parameter E2-01 (motor rated current) to the appropriate value to enable motor overload protection. The internal motor

overload protection is UL listed and in accordance with the NEC and CEC.

n

E2-01: Motor Rated Current

Setting Range: Model-dependent
Default Setting: Model-dependent
Parameter E2-01 protects the motor when parameter L1-01 is not set to 0. The default for L1-01 is 1, which enables protection

for standard induction motors.
If Auto-Tuning has been performed successfully, the motor data entered to T1-04 is automatically written to parameter E2-01.

If Auto-Tuning has not been performed, manually enter the correct motor rated current to parameter E2-01.

n

L1-01: Motor Overload Protection Selection

The drive has an electronic overload protection function (oL1) based on time, output current, and output frequency that protects

the motor from overheating. The electronic thermal overload function is UL-recognized, so it does not require an external

thermal relay for single motor operation.
This parameter selects the motor overload curve used according to the type of motor applied.

Table D.6 Overload Protection Settings

Setting

Description

0

Disabled

Disabled the internal motor overload protection of the drive.

1

Standard fan-cooled motor

Selects protection characteristics for a standard self-cooled motor with limited cooling capabilities

when running below the rated speed. The motor overload detection level (oL1) is automatically

reduced when running below the motor rated speed.

4

Permanent Magnet motor with variable

torque

Selects protection characteristics for a variable torque PM motor. The motor overload detection

level (oL1) is automatically reduced when running below the motor rated speed.

When connecting the drive to more than one motor for simultaneous operation, disable the electronic overload protection

(L1-01 = 0) and wire each motor with its own motor thermal overload relay.
Enable motor overload protection (L1-01 = 1, 2, or 4) when connecting the drive to a single motor, unless another motor

overload preventing device is installed. The drive electronic thermal overload function causes an oL1 fault, which shuts off

the output of the drive and prevents additional overheating of the motor. The motor temperature is continually calculated while

the drive is powered up.

n

L1-02: Motor Overload Protection Time

Setting Range: 0.1 to 5.0 min
Factory Default: 1.0 min
Parameter L1-02 determines how long the motor is allowed to operate before the oL1 fault occurs when the drive is running

a hot motor at 60 Hz and at 150% of the full load amp rating (E2-01) of the motor. Adjusting the value of L1-02 can shift the

set of oL1 curves up the y axis of the diagram below, but will not change the shape of the curves.
