Chapter 1 Detailed Drive Operation
IT Protection
The drive’s IT protection dictates the amount of overload capacitors and duty
cycle. Ratings are in the tables listed below. Figure 16
shows expected times.
Figure 16 - IT Curve
Time On (s) = time, in seconds, at current level shown
Time Off (s) = time, in seconds, at 100% current
Duty Cycle% = time on / (time on + time off ) x 100
The On Time/Off Time ratio is fixed. If only 1/2 of the listed time is spent at a
given level, only 1/2 of the off time is necessary to reset the cycle.
