Overcurrent protection
During vector control, the motor current remains within the torque limits set there.
During V/f control, the maximum current controller (I-max controller) protects the motor and
inverter against overload by limiting the output current.
I-max controller operation
If an overload situation occurs, the speed and stator voltage of the motor are reduced until
the current is within the permissible range. If the motor is in regenerative mode, i.e. it is
being driven by the connected machine, the I-max controller increases the speed and stator
voltage of the motor to reduce the current.
Note
The inverter load is only reduced if the motor torque decreases at lower speeds, e.g. for
fans.
In the regenerative mode, the current only decreases if the torque decreases at a higher
speed.
Settings
You only have to change the factory settings of the I-max controller if the drive tends to
oscillate when it reaches the current limit or if it is shut down due to overcurrent.
