Learning Protection Features
6 Learning Protection Features
Protection features provided by the S100 series inverter are categorized into two types: protection
from overheating damage to the motor, and protection against the inverter malfunction.
6.1 Motor Protection
6.1.1 Electronic Thermal Motor Overheating Prevention (ETH)
ETH is a protective function that uses the output current of the inverter without a separate
temperature sensor, to predict a rise in motor temperature to protect the motor based on its heat
characteristics.

Electronic Thermal (ETH) Prevention Function Setting Details
ETH can be selected to provide motor thermal protection. The LCD screen
displays “E-Thermal.”
The ETH function is not activated.
The inverter output is blocked. The motor coasts to a
halt (free-run).
The inverter decelerates the motor to a stop.
Select the drive mode of the cooling fan, attached to the motor.
As the cooling fan is connected to the motor axis, the
cooling effect varies, based on motor speed. Most
universal induction motors have this design.
