Function With the I
2
¼ t monitoring, self-ventilated three-phase AC motors can be thermally monitored without
using sensors.
Adjustment
Enter an individual load limit for the motor connected.
- If thisvalues is exceeded for a longerperiodof time, the controller will set the fault OC6 and
switch-off (see chart).
The current limits C022 and C023 only have an indirect influence on the I
2
¼ tcalculation:
- The settingsof C022 and C023 can make the operationwithmaximumcontrollerload (C056)
impossible.
When selecting a drive which does not match (output current much higher than rated motor
current):
- Reduce C120 by the factor of the mismatch.
Example:
With C120 = 100 %and a load of C056 = 150 %, the controller switches off after 60 s when
reaching f
d
> 40 Hz, or earlier with f
d
<40Hz.
Important
The setting 0 % deactivates the function.
This monitoring does not provide full motor protection since the calculated motor temperature is
set to ”0” after every mains connection or disconnection. The connected motor can be
overheated, if
- it is alreadyhot butstill overloaded,
- the cooling-air stream is interrupted or the air is toohot.
Full motorprotection can be achieved with a PTC thermistor inthe motor.
- We recommend the general use of PTC monitoring systems for multi-motor drives.
To prevent motors with forced ventilation fromstarting too early, this function can be deactivated.
If load-adaptedmotors are tobe monitoredat a load of < 100 %, C120 must alsobe reduced
accordingly.
The operation of the controller with 120 %overload might lead to the activation of the I
2
k t
switch-off, because the setting of C120 > 100 % is not possible.
- Deactivate the I
2
k t switch-off for the operation of the controller at 120 % overload.
