4.13.7 No Trip at Inverter Overload
In some systems, the frequency converter has not been
sized properly to yield the current needed in all points of
the operational flow-head characteristic. At these points,
the motor needs a current higher than the rated current of
the frequency converter. The frequency converter can yield
110% of the rated current continuously for 60 s. If still
overloaded, the frequency converter normally trips
(causing the motor to stop by coasting) and issues an
alarm.

Illustration 4.46 Output Current in Overload Condition
If the motor is unable to run continuously with the
demanded capacity, run it at reduced speed for a while.
Select
parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
to
automatically reduce motor speed until the output current
is below 100% of the rated current (set in
parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
).
Parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
is an
alternative to letting the frequency converter trip.
The frequency converter estimates the load on the power
section with an inverter load counter, which causes a
warning at 98% and a reset of the warning at 90%. At the
value 100%, the frequency converter trips and issues an
alarm.
Status for the counter can be read in
parameter 16-35 Inverter Thermal
.
If
parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
is set to
[3]
Derate
, the motor speed is reduced when the counter
exceeds 98%, and stays reduced until the counter has
dropped below 90.7%.
If
parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
is set to for
example 95%, a steady overload causes the pump speed to
fluctuate between values corresponding to 110% and 95%
of rated output current for the frequency converter.

Option:
Function:
Use in case of steady overload
beyond the thermal limits (110% for
60 s).

Derate
Reduces the motor speed to
decrease the load on the power
section and allowing it to cool
down.

Range:
Function:
95 %
*
[50 - 100 %]
Enter the current level (in % of

frequency converter) when running
with reduced motor speed after
load on the frequency converter
has exceeded the allowable limit
(110% for 60 s).
