5.8.8 PRT-34 Motor Over Heat Sensor
A motor thermistor (PTC) can be connected to the inverter to monitor and protect the motor. The
source of current through the PTC can be provided by the 20mA output (AO1) of the inverter. The
voltage from the PTC can be applied to the inverter input terminals V1 or I2 (set as V2). Values for
monitoring and protection are in percent (%). The inverter will trip on a “Thermal Trip” fault when
the PTC input goes above the set fault level (PRT-36).

Sets the inverter operation when motor overheat (Thermal Trip) is
detected.
Does not operate when motor overheat is detected.
When motor overheat is detected, the inverter output
is blocked, and the motor will free-run (coast).
When motor overheat is detected, the motor
decelerates and stops.
Selects the terminal when the PTC sensor signal is connected to the
inverter.
Configure the PTC sensor connection to terminal V1.
Set SW3 to the right as TI.
Configure the PTC sensor connection to terminal I2.
Set SW4 to the right as V2.
Configure the fault level (in %) of the PTC sensor.
Thermal Trip fault when the PTC sensor input is
lower than PRT-36.
Thermal Trip fault when the PTC sensor input is higher
than PRT-36.
Monitor PTC level at IN-20.
OUT-01 AO1 Mode
OUT-02 AO1 Gain
Used when supplying the constant current to the PTC sensor from the
analog output terminal (A01).
