7.9 Motor thermal protection break point frequency
The frequency can be set between 10—500 Hz.
This is the breakpoint of thermal current curve. With frequencies above this point the
thermal capacity of the motor is assumed to be constant. See figure 6.2-20.
The default value is based on the motor's name plate data, parameter 1.11. It is 35 Hz for
a 50 Hz motor and 42 Hz for a 60 Hz motor. More generally it is 70% of the frequency at
field weakening point (parameter 6.3). Changing either parameter 1.11 or 6.3 will restore
this parameter to its default value.
