(P1.3)
P8.4 709 X — Stall protection 1
The stall protection function is an overload protection.
It protects the motor from brief overloads (for example, blocked 
motor shaft). The stall current is equal to the motor rated 
operational current x 1.3, stall time is 15 seconds, and stall 
frequency limit is 25 Hz. If the current is higher than the limit 
and the frequency is less than 25 Hz, the drive will react as 
defined by this parameter
Note: With long motor cable lengths and low motor power 
(poor efficiency cos  ), a higher (capacitive) motor current can 
flow causing early tripping. Solution: Motor reactor or sinus filter

1 Alarm (AL 15)
2 Fault (F… 15), stop function according to P6.8
P8.5 713 X — Underload protection 0
The underload protection monitors the load of the connected 
motor in the range of 5 Hz up to the maximum output 
frequency. This requires that the output current of the 
frequency inverter be monitored. A message will be generated 
if the values set in P8.12 and P8.13 are undershot within 
20 seconds

P8.6 704 X — Motor, temperature protection 2
The motor temperature protection is designed to protect the 
motor from overheating. It is based on a temperature algorithm 
and uses the motor current (P7.1) to determine the motor load 
(see figure on Page 92)

P8.8 706 X — Motor, cooling factor at zero frequency 40.0
0.0–150% The cooling factor of the motor with a zero frequency defines 
the relationship to the cooling of the motor at the rated 
frequency with the rated operational current without an external 
fan (see figure on Page 92)
P8.9 707 X — Motor, thermal time constant 45
1–200 min The temperature time constant determines the time-span in 
which the heat calculation model achieves 63% of its end value. 
It depends on the design of the motor and is different from 
manufacturer to manufacturer. The larger the motor design, 
the greater the time constant
