) Selection
These functions are required when the motor should be protected against the overheat without installing the thermal
relay between the inverter and the motor. If electronic thermal protection is ON, the inverter blocks the IGBT gating
signals and issues the trip message.

Electronic thermal protection level is set in % based on the ‘Motor rated current’ at PAR_22. ‘1 min.level of electronic
thermal’ at FUN_55 is the current level which should be referred to when the motor is operated for a minute and the
motor is estimated to be overheated. ‘Continuous level of electronic thermal’ at FUN_56 is the current level which should
be referred to when the motor is operated continuously and the motor is estimated to be in thermal equilibrium.
Continuous level is set to the motor rated current (100%) and should be less than ‘1 min.level of electronic thermal’ at
FUN_55. PAR_09 ‘Cooling type’ should be set correctly to ensure the proper electronic thermal protection.
l
Self-cool
: This should be set when cooling fan mounted on the motor shaft is used for cooling. The
cooling performance is greatly reduced when the motor is operated at the low speed. Compared to high
speed region, the motor is rapidly overheated at the low speed region even if the same current flows into it.
l
Forced-cool
: This should be set when the cooling fan is powered by the separate power supply.
‘Continuous level of electronic thermal’ at FUN_56, which is allowable continuous current is applied,
regadless of the operating frequency.
