104 Functional Description CG Drives & Automation, 01-5326-01r5
11.4.5 Motor Protection [230]
This function protects the motor against overload based on
the standard IEC 60947-4-2.
Motor I
2
t Type [231]
The motor protection function makes it possible to protect
the motor from overload as published in the standard IEC
60947-4-2. It does this using “Motor I2t Current [232]” as a
reference. The “Motor I2t Time [233]” is used to define the
time behaviour of the function. The current set in [232] can
be delivered infinite in time. If for instance in [233] a time
of 1000 s is chosen the upper curve of Fig. 95 is valid. The
value on the x-axis is the multiple of the current chosen in
[232]. The time [233] is the time that an overloaded motor
is switched off or is reduced in power at 1.2 times the
current set in [232].
Communication information
Motor I

t Current [232]
Sets the current limit for the motor I

Communication information
Motor I
2
t Time [233]
Sets the time of the I
2
t function. After this time the limit for
the
I
2
t is reached if operating with 120% of the I
2
t current
value. Valid when start from 0 rpm.
Communication information

2
t Type
Default: Trip
Off 0 I
2
t motor protection is not active.
Trip 1
When the I
2
t time is exceeded, the AC
drive will trip on “Motor I
2
t”.
Limit 2
This mode helps to keep the inverter
running when the Motor I2t function is just
before tripping the AC drive. The trip is
replaced by current limiting with a
maximum current level set by the value
out of the menu [232]. In this way, if the
reduced current can drive the load, the
AC drive continues running. If there is no
reduction in thermal load, the drive will
trip.

NOTE: When Mot I2t Type=Limit, the AC drive can
control the speed < MinSpeed to reduce the motor
current.
