5. The selection tables are for normal usage. If the AC motor drive requires frequent braking, increase the Watts
by two to three times.
6. Thermal Overload Relay (TOR):
Thermal overload relay selection is based on its overload capacity. A standard braking capacity of the ME300
is 10% ED (Tripping time=10 s). As shown in the figure below, a 460V, 7.5 kW ME300 required the thermal
relay to take 260% overload capacity for 10 seconds (hot starting) and the braking current is 10.2A. In this
case, select a thermal overload relay rated at 5 A (5 * 260% = 13 A > 10.2 A). The property of each thermal
relay may vary among different manufacturers. Carefully read the specification before using it.
