3.3.5 Motor Overload Protection 
The COMBIVERT F5 motor control by default provides motor overload protection at 130% of 
the unit’s rated output current.  See tables in section 2.3 for rated output current.  Two additional 
motor overload protection systems are avaialble. 
Electronic Motor Overload Protection
This software function provides speed dependent I
2
t overload protection and is approaved by UL 
as a solid state overload protection device according to UL508C section 42 and NEC 430 Part 
C. The trip current is adjustable as well as whether the motor is self cooled or blower cooled.  
Consult the F5B/G Application instruction manual for adjustment details. 
Motor Winding Temperature Sensor
• Connects to Terminals T1, T2
• Trip resistance level 1.65...4 kΩ
• Reset resistance level  0.75...1.65 kΩ
• This function can be activated or deactivated through a software parameter. The default setting 
is OFF!
• Do not run temperature sensor wires in the same conduit or wire way as  other control cables.  
These sensor wires most likely are carrying high frequency noise from the motor.  
• If the sensor wires are part of the motor cable they must be shielded independently from the 
motor wires. 
Installation and Connection
3.3.4 Motor connection 
The  maximum 
m o t o r   c a b l e 
length  listed  in 
the  tables  in  section 
2.3 is based on several 
factors:  use of shielded 
motor  cables,  ground 
current  limitations, 
increased  EMI  noise 
levels, voltage peaks at 
the motor terminals.  
Connect  shield  to the mounting 
plate with maximum surface area 
(use metal  cable clamp) 
Terminal X1B provides connections for:
•  ++, PB  Braking resistor
•  U, V, W Motor
•  T1, T2  Temperature sensor
Terminal strip X1A 
Provides connections for:  
•  230 V AC / 1-phase (L1/L2) 
•  230 V AC / 3-phase (L1, L2, L3) 
•  DC-Supply 250...370 V DC  (++, --)
