F042 =  Over Current Trip / Shear Pin Trip 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 100 - 300%, 0 (Disabled)  
When a value other than 0 is entered in 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.  
Note: Overcurrent trip is only enabled after motor reaches “At 
Speed”, it will not trip during acceleration”. 
 
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 in 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. Using the default setting, if the output 
current of any phase drops below F044 for more than 2 
seconds, the starter will trip. 
 
5.6.8.a Ground Fault 
 
F046 - F047 provides Ground Fault protection for equipment only using 
the Residual Current method. Trip settings are based on the CT ratio as 
shown in F074. A delay time can be set by F047 to help prevent 
nuisance trips. Ground current can always be viewed in the Status 
Display, shown with a “G” prefix (see section 5.3.1). 
 
WARNING! 
THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS 
"PERSONNEL PROTECTION" GROUND FAULT!  
This feature is only intended to provide a level of 
equipment protection against damaging ground 
currents. Ground faults are potentially dangerous 
conditions and must be corrected immediately for safety of 
operating personnel.
