The motor protection characteristics determine whether electronic thermal motor
protection is enabled or disabled, what type of load it is for, and how the GPD 503 will
react after motor overload is detected. The thermal overload trip point is the motor rated
current value in Cn-09; see Table A3-1 for factory setting.

Electronic thermal overload is a software routine which monitors and protects the motor
from an overtemperature condition over time.

The two considerations of the electronic overload routine are drive output current and
time. Thus, the electronic overload trip curve is as shown at right.

There are in fact two overload fault conditions which the GPD 503 can detect, electronic
thermal overload (OL1) and output overload (OL2). In reality, the GPD 503 will never
output more than 200% rated output current without the output overload (OL2) tripping.
