9.14 Thermal overload protection of DC motor
(I
2
t monitoring of motor)
The I
2
t monitoring function is parameterized in parameters P100 and P114. If these parameters are
adapted correctly, the motor is protected against overloading (not all-round motor protection).
Adaptation
P114: A time constant T
motor
in minutes for the I
2
t monitoring function must be entered in
parameter P114.
P100: The rated motor armature current in amperes as specified on the rating plate must be
entered in parameter P100.
Warning characteristic / switch-off characteristic
If the motor is loaded constantly, for example, with about 125% of the rated motor DC current, then
alarm A037 is triggered after a time constant (P114) has elapsed. If the load is not reduced, then the
drive is shut down when the switch-off characteristic is reached and fault message F037 displayed.
Warning/switch-off times for other loads can be calculated from the diagram.
Alarm message triggering by motor I
2
t monitoring function
This diagram shows how long it takes for an alarm message to be triggered if, after a long preloading
period (> 5
*
T_th), a new constant load value is injected abruptly.
T_th = P114 .. thermal time constant of motor
