8.2.2 Notes for UL applications
Description
Note
Motor overload protection
The Motor Module has integrated motor overload protection according to IEC/UL61800-5-1.
Ensure that the motor is protected from overload by observing and following the instructions
below:
• The protection threshold is 115% of the rated motor current.
• Monitoring for motor overload protection is automatically activated during commissioning.
• Enter the motor data and protection function values when commissioning a Motor Module.
• Operation without motor temperature sensor
– Synchronous motors
To ensure motor overload protection, the minimum value of 40 °C for the ambient motor
temperature must be entered in parameter p0613.
– Induction motors
To ensure motor overload protection, the minimum value of 40 °C for the ambient motor
temperature must be entered in parameter p0625.
