3.1 Thermal motor protection

!
Warning
The integrated temperature sensor protects the induction motors against overload
conditions up to
4 I
0
(60
K)
and speed <> 0
Sufficient protection is no longer provided for thermally critical load situations, e.g.
for a high overload condition at motor standstill. In this case, other protective
measures must be provided, e.g. a thermal overcurrent relay.
If they exist, reduced data for standstill are specified.
