 L: Protection Function Constants
The following settings are made with the protection function constants (L constants): Motor selection func-
tion, power loss ridethrough function, stall prevention function, frequency detection, torque limits, and hard-
ware protection.
Motor Overload: L1
User constants for motor overloads are shown in the following table.

Motor pro-
tection 
selection
Sets whether the motor over-
load function is enabled or dis-
abled at electric thermal 
overload relay.
0: Disabled
1: General-purpose motor 
protection
2: Inverter motor protection
3: Vector motor protection
In some applications when the 
Inverter power supply is 
turned off, the thermal value is 
reset, so even if this constant is 
set to 1, protection may not be 
effective.
When several motors are con-
nected to one Inverter, set to 0 
and ensure that each motor is 
installed with a protection 
device.

constant
Sets the electric thermal detec-

Usually setting is not necessary.
The factory setting is 150% 
overload for one minute. 
When the motor's overload 
resistance is known, also set the 
overload resistance protection 
time for when the motor is hot 
started.

temperature (thermistor) input 
exceeds the alarm detection 
level (1.17 V).
0: Decelerate to stop using the
