External events (parameters 31.01 … 31.10 )
Five different event signals from the process can be connected to selectable inputs to
generate trips and warnings for the driven equipment. When the signal is lost, an
external event (fault, warning, or a mere log entry) is generated. The contents of the
messages can be edited on the control panel by selecting

texts .
Motor phase loss detection (parameter 31.19 )
The parameter selects how the drive reacts whenever a motor phase loss is detected.
Earth (Ground) fault detection (parameter 31.20 )
The earth fault detection function is based on sum current measurement. Note that
• an earth fault in the supply cable does not activate the protection
• in a grounded supply, the protection activates within 2 milliseconds
• in an ungrounded supply, the supply capacitance must be 1 microfarad or more
• the capacitive currents caused by shielded motor cables up to 300 meters will not
activate the protection
• the protection is deactivated when the drive is stopped.
Drive interlocked detection (parameter 31.22 )
The drive monitors the status of the Drive interlocked input, and this parameter
selects which indications are given when the signals are lost. (The parameter does
not affect the operation of the Drive interlocked function itself). For more information
on the Drive interlocked function, see the
Hardware manual .
Swapped supply and motor cabling (parameter 31.23 )
The drive can detect if the supply and motor cables have accidentally been swapped
(for example, if the supply is connected to the motor connection of the drive). The
parameter selects if a fault is generated or not. Note that the protection should be
disabled in drive/inverter hardware supplied from a common DC bus.
Stall protection (parameters 31.24 … 31.28 )
The drive protects the motor in a stall situation. It is possible to adjust the supervision
limits (current, frequency and time) and choose how the drive reacts to a motor stall
condition.
