3.21.2 Temperature sensor 
When the motor is operated below the 
rated speed the cooling effect of the 
shaft-mounted fan is reduced. As a 
result, for most motors when continually 
operated at lower frequencies, the 
power has to be reduced. Under these 
conditions, motor protection against 
overheating can only be guaranteed if 
either a temperature sensor (PTC or 
KTY84 sensor) is integrated in the 
motor and is connected to the control 
terminals 14 and 15 of the 
MICROMASTER 440 (refer to Fig. 3-94) 
or the motor temperature model was 
determined (refer to Section 3.21.1). 
NOTE 
In order to avoid EMC noise from being coupled-in to the drive converter 
electronics – and the associated disturbances – it is not permissible to use free 
conductors in the motor cable to connect the temperature sensor to the drive 
converter. 
The temperature sensor must be connected to the drive converter using a separate 
cable (if at all possible, this cable should be shielded).
