Reasons for moving to Speed-Drop Protection mode: 
▪  Overtemperature of the power module 
▪  Overtemperature in the discharge line 
▪  Operating in field weakening range 
▪  Output overcurrent 
▪  Input overcurrent 
▪  Drive ambient temperature foldback 
The controller can avoid moving to the Speed-Drop Protection mode by using registers [37], [39], 
[40], [41], [42] and [46] for control purposes. 
6.2  Power module speed-drop protection 
Considering  the  described  speed-drop  protection  behaviour,  the  logic  for  the  power  module 
protection follows the diagram below: 
 
Figure 13: Power module speed drop protection logic 
If the temperature reaches 108 °C, the drive will take over the speed demand and will reduce it to 
the speed-drop protection speed, in an attempt to reduce the module temperature. 
If the speed reaches its speed-drop protection value, and the temperature is still above 108 °C for 
30 seconds, the drive will automatically shut down the compressor. 
However, if the temperature decreases below 108 °C, the drive will enter in the Speed Holding area, 
where the speed is kept constant, until the temperature goes below the recovery value, ie, below 
103 °C. 
If the temperature goes below the recovery value, the drive will return to the speed commanded 
initially. 
6.3  Discharge line temperature protection 
If a discharge line temperature sensor is wired and activated via register [207] the drive will control 
this temperature. This is achieved via the DLT value [77] considering a lower speed-drop protection 
limit readable via register [46] or configurable via register [110] and an upper maximum limit [27]. For 
YPV* compressors the DLT trip limit ([27]) is configurable through register [222]. The register can be 
set within the range of 135 to 150 °C. The configured value will be written in register [27]. 
Once the drive goes into speed-drop protection mode the functionality is the same as described in 
Chapter 6.1 "Speed-Drop Protection mode".
