5.6.7  Current and Ground Fault Protection Features 
F040 – F050 set extended protection features that may be used in the 
TE Series starter. Percentages shown are all based automatically upon 
the Motor FLA setting from F001 except Ground Fault, F046. No 
additional calculations are necessary. 
 
  Note: 
All of these features are disabled at the factory and must be 
enabled via user programming as follows:  
 
F040 =  Current Imbalance Trip 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 5 - 30% or 0 (Disabled) 
Use to set the trip level for when current imbalance between any 
two phases exceeds this amount for the time specified F041. 
F041 =  Current Imbalance Trip Delay 
Factory Setting = 2 seconds 
Range = 1 - 20 seconds 
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-
duration transients. Using default settings, if the difference in 
output current between two phases exceeds 10% of FLA for 
more than 2 seconds, the starter will trip. 
F042 =  Over Current Trip / Shear Pin Trip 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 100 - 300%, 0 (Disabled)  
When a value other than 0 is entered for F042, the starter will trip when the 
output current of any phase exceeds the amount set and the time specified 
in F043. This is also referred to as a “Shear Pin Trip” and can be used to 
protect mechanical components from damage due to jammed loads. 
F043 =  Over Current Trip Delay 
Factory Setting = 1 second 
Range = 1 - 20 seconds 
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-duration 
transients. For example using default settings, if the output current of any 
phase exceeds F042 for more than 1 second, the starter will trip. 
F044 =  Under Current Trip 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 10 - 90%, or 0 (Disabled)  
When a value other than 0 is entered for F044, the starter will trip 
when the output current of any 
phase drops below the amount set, 
and the time specified by F045. This 
fault condition is often referred to as 
a “Load Loss Trip” and can be used 
to detect a broken shaft, V belt or 
other mechanical drive system 
component failure. In pumping 
applications, this can be used as a 
“Loss of Prime” trip. 
F045 =  Under Current Trip Delay 
Factory Setting = 2 seconds 
Range = 1 - 60 seconds 
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-
duration transients. If using the default setting, the output current
