3-6-2 Active Frequency Matching Restart
Goal of the active frequency matching is the same as normal frequency
matching. Difference is the method. Please select the suitable one for your
application.
3-6-3 Electronic Thermal Overload Alarm Setting
The thermal overload detection protects the inverter and motor from overheat-
ing due to an excessive load. It uses a current/inverse time curve to determine
the trip point.
First, use B013 to select the torque characteristic that matches your load. This
allows the inverter to utilize the best thermal overload characteristic for your
application.
The torque developed in a motor is directly proportional to the current in the
windings, which is also related to the heat generated (and temperature, over
time).
Therefore, you must set the thermal overload threshold in terms of current
(amperes) for parameter B012. The range is 20% to 100% of the rated current
for each inverter model. If the current exceeds the level you specify, the
inverter will trip and log an event (error E 05) in the history table. The inverter
turns the motor output OFF when tripped. Separate settings are available for
the second motor (if applicable) as shown in the following table.
