Chapter 6 - Parameter Description [FU1]
6-20
To make the ETH function (Motor i
2
t) work correctly,
the motor cooling method must be selected correctly
according to the motor.
[Self-cool] is a motor that has a cooling fan
connected directly to the shaft of the motor. Cooling
effects of a self-cooled motor decrease when a motor
is running at low speeds. The Motor is easily heated
at low speed, compared to the motor at high speed
with the same current. The motor current is derated
as the motor speed decreases as shown below.
[Forced-cool] is a motor that uses a separate motor to
power a cooling fan. As the motor speed changes, the
cooling effect does not change. FU1-62 [Electronic
thermal level for continuous] set value is applied
regardless of operating frequency.

t Characteristic Curve]
Note: Despite the motor current changing
frequently due to load fluctuation or acceleration
and deceleration, the inverter calculates the i
2
t
and accumulates the value to protect the motor.
FU1-64: Overload Warning Level
FU1-65: Overload Warning Time
The inverter generates an alarm signal when the
output current has reached the FU1-64 [Overload
Warning Level] for the FU1-65 [Overload Warning
Time]. The alarm signal persists for the FU1-65 even
if the current has become the level below the FU1-64.
Programmable Digital Output Terminal (AX-CX) is
used as the alarm signal output. To output the alarm
signal, set I/O-76 [Multifunction Auxiliary Contact
Output] to ‘OL’.
Note: FU1-64 is set as the percentage of FU2-43 [Rated
Motor Current].
