Motor Overheat Protection Using PTC Thermistor Inputs
This function provides a motor overheating protection using a thermistor (PTC characteristic – Positive Tem-
perature Coefficient) that is built into the windings of each motor phase.

PTC Thermistor Characteristics
The following diagram shows the characteristics of the PTC thermistor temperature to the resistance value.
The shown resistance value is for one motor phase. Normally the 3 resistors (1 for each phase) are connected
in series
