ETR (Electronic Thermal relay): The frequency converter ETR
function measures actual current, speed and time to
calculate motor temperature and protect the motor from
being overheated (Warning or trip). An external thermistor
input is also available. ETR is an electronic feature that
simulates a bimetal relay based on internal measurements.
The characteristic is shown in

nominal. The Y- axis shows the time in seconds before
the ETR cut of and trips the drive. The curves show the charac-
teristic nominal speed, at twice the nominal speed and at 0,2 x
the nominal speed.
At lower speed the ETR cuts of at lower heat due to less cooling
of the motor. In that way the motor are protected from being
over heated even at low speed. The ETR feature is calculating
the motor temperature based on actual current and speed. The
calculated temperature is visible as a read out parameter in
