The converter interprets a resistance >
1650 Ω as being an overtemperature and
responds according to the setting for p0610.
The converter interprets a resistance < 20 Ω
as being a short-circuit and responds
with alarm A07015. If the alarm is present for longer than 100 milliseconds, the
converter shuts down with fault F07016.
Motor overheating due to incorrectly connected KTY sensor
If a KTY sensor is connected with incorrect polarity, the motor can become damaged due to
overheating, as the converter cannot detect a motor overtemperature condition.
• Connect the KTY sensor with the correct polarity.
Using a KTY sensor, the converter monitors the motor temperature and the sensor
itself for wire-break or short-circuit:
● Temperature monitoring:
The converter uses a KTY sensor to evaluate the motor temperature in the range from -
48° C ... +248° C.
Use the p0604 or p0605 parameter to set the temperature for the alarm and fault
threshold.
– Overtemperature alarm (A07910):
- motor temperature > p0604 and p0610 = 0
– Overtemperature fault (F07011):
The converter switches off with fault in the following cases:
- motor temperature > p0605
- motor temperature > p0604 and p0610 ≠ 0
● Sensor monitoring (A07015 or F07016):
– Wire-break:
The converter interprets a resistance > 2120 Ω as a wire-break and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100 milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
– Short-circuit:
The converter interprets a resistance < 50 Ω as a short-circuit and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100 milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
