  P1-01  Motor Overload Protection Time 
Sets the time for the drive to shut down on motor overload. (Normal this parameter does not 
require adjustment. However, enter the time the motor can withstand operation in a hot motor 
overload  condition  if  the  motor  overload  tolerance  data  is  confirmed  by  the  motor 
manufacturer.)   
Motor Overload Protection Time 
The default is operation with 150% overload tolerance for one minute in a hot start.   
The  electrothermal  protection  operation  time  is  illustrated  in  the  following  figure.  Motor 
overload protection operates in the range between a cold start and a hot start.   
( P1-01 = 1 minute, 60 Hz speed, general-purpose motor)   
·  Cold start: The motor protection operation time responds to an overload situation which 
is suddenly reached when strating a stationary motor.   
·  Hot start: The motor protection operation time responds to an overload situation which 
occurs when the motor was running continuousely at its rated current.
