8.5.2 Reduced overcurrent due to time
The possible overload capacity changes depending on the duration of an overload. Several values are cited in
this table. If one of these limiting values is reached, the frequency inverter must have sufficient time (with low
utilisation or without load) in order to regenerate itself.
If operated repeatedly in the overload region at short intervals, the limiting values stated in the tables are
reduced.
