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
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.
