Setting the motor current 
I
e
 potentiometer 
 
 
 
The rated operational current of the motor must be set with the I
e
 potentiometer according to 
the mains voltage and the motor connection (wye-delta). The electronic motor overload 
protection also refers to this set value if it is active. For the permissible settings referred to 
the required motor overload trip class, refer to chapter Motor current settings (Page 120).

The current limiting value is set with the xI
e
 potentiometer to the maximum required starting 
current as a factor of the set rated motor current (I
e
).
