t monitoring
Description
With I
2
t monitoring, self−ventilated three−phase AC motors can be thermally monitored without using
sensor.
( Stop!
l I
2
t monitoring does not fully protect the motor since the calculated motor
temperature is reset after every mains disconnection!
l After renewed mains connection the connected motor can be overheated, if
– it is already hot and is still overloaded.
– the cooling air supply is interrupted.
– the air is too hot.
l Full motor protection can be achieved by using a PTC thermistor or thermostat in
the motor.

Adjustment
1. Calculate C0120. This value corresponds to a motor load of 100 % :
C0120[%]
I
r
I
N
100%
I
r
Rated motor current
I
r
Rated controller current at a chopper frequency of 8 kHz
2. If you reduce C0120 based on the calculated value, the monitoring already starts at a motor
load of < 100 %.
3. If you increase C0120 based on the calculated value, the monitoring only starts at a motor
load > 100 %.
