Figure 17.2 Protection Circuit Configuration to Connect More than One Motor to One
Drive
NOTICE
When you connect more than one motor to one drive or when the motor amp rating
is higher than the drive amp rating, set L1-01 =0 [Motor Overload (oL1) Protection = Disabled] and install
thermal overload relays for each motor. The electronic thermal protection of the drive will not function and
it can cause damage to the motor.
1 : Variable Torque
Use this setting for general-purpose motors with a 60 Hz base frequency.
The overload tolerance decreases as motor speed decreases because the cooling fan speed
decreases and the ability of the motor to cool decreases in the low speed range.
The overload tolerance characteristics of the motor change the trigger point for the
electronic thermal protector. This provides motor overheat protection from low speed to
high speed across the full speed range.

(at 100% motor load)
This motor is designed to operate
with commercial line power. Operate
at a 60 Hz base frequency to
maximize the motor cooling ability.
If the motor operates at frequencies
less than 60 Hz, the drive will detect
oL1
. The drive triggers a fault relay
output and the motor coasts to stop.
