If the output value of the I
2
t-sub-model (PU-I
2
t-actual value) reaches 105% of
the warning 206 is set and the total current is limited to the maximum PU continuous cur-
rent
.
If the PU-I
2
t actual value reaches 95%, the current limit is canceled on the part of the I
2
t-
sub-model.
If a current limit is additionally activated by the power electronics sub-model, the warning
206 remains. The warning and the limit is disabled not before the current limit is canceled
from both sub-models.
Power electronics sub-model:
The temperature of power electronics is emulated and is standardized using the tempera-
ture threshold
Sem
pu
(temperature actual value =
Sem
pu
corresponds to 105% load),
which was defined in the characteristics of the device. Thus, the load value is compatible
to the I
2
t-sub-model.
If the value reaches 105%, warning 206 is set and the total current is limited to the max-
imum PU continuous current
The power electronics sub-model cancels the current limit after
Sem
pu
falls below the
value 105% within 30 s. The 30 s time slice is an empirical value, which is great enough
so that all devices can recover thermally.
However, the current limit still can be activated by I
2
t-sub-model.
Protective function PWM reduction
In order to avoid current limiting, the switching frequency can be automatically reduced
(i.e. PWM frequency
is halved). Thereby, the switching losses in the IGBTs are
reduced.
If the temperature of the power electronics exceeds the temperature threshold
Sem
LimRed
, the PWM frequency is halved and warning 216 is triggered. The tempera-
ture threshold
Sem
LimRed
is lower than the threshold
Sem
pu
, which triggers the cur-
rent limit.
The PWM reduction doesn't change the value of the PWM frequency
was set.
NOTE!
m
As long as the safety function current limit is active and the output frequency is
< 15 Hz (current derating dependent of the output frequency is effec-
tive), the total current is limited to the smallest existing value of the maximum PU
continuous current
and will remain on this value. This means, that during
and the active current limit can decrease, if the output frequency
drops. The active current limit however cannot get larger, if the output frequency
increases. The active current limit remains on the smallest existing value.
m
At the protective function current limit the "Max. drive current available"
reduced, whereat the settable limit of the total current "Max. drive current"
isn't changed. The reduction of the total current takes place via the current torque,
i. e. via the "Max. available torque current"
