High Current Protection
This function is useful to protect the driven mechanical system from jams and excessive overloads caused by the equipment or the
process. The high-current function signals a warning when the motor current exceeds a set threshold for a configurable period of
time, after the motor start-up. The high current function creates a trip when the current continuously exceeds a separately set
threshold for a set period of time, after the motor start-up.
Block diagram:

Signal flow of the high current protection function.
Example:
The start-up phase ended at T1. At T2 the current increases above the high current warning level I
hcwl
for a period longer than the
high current warning delay time t
hcwd
. Therefore the high current warning signal is set. At T3 the current also increases above the
high current trip level I
hctl
but only for a period shorter than the specified high current trip delay time t
hctd
. Then at T4 the current
rises again above the trip level and stays there long enough to trigger an overcurrent trip that finally stops the motor.
