3.3.10 PTC Thermistor Connection
Motor protection can be implemented using a range of
techniques: PTC or KTY sensor (see also section KTY Sensor
Connection) in motor windings; mechanical thermal switch
(Klixon type); or Electronic Thermal Relay (ETR).
Using a digital input and 24 V as power supply:
Example: The adjustable frequency drive trips when the
motor temperature is too high.
Parameter set-up:
Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Digital Input [6]
Using a digital input and 10 V as power supply:
Example: The adjustable frequency drive trips when the
motor temperature is too high.
Parameter set-up:
Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Digital Input [6]
Using an analog input and 10 V as power supply:
Example: The adjustable frequency drive trips when the
motor temperature is too high.
Parameter set-up:
Set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to Thermistor Trip [2]
Set 1-93 Thermistor Source to Analog Input 54 [2]
