n036 : Motor Rated Current Factory setting: See Table A3-1
Range: see description
This parameter should be set, in increments of 0.1 A, to the rated current (FLA) value shown on the
motor nameplate; this value MUST BE between 10% and 150% of the drive rated current. If the
motor FLA does not fall within this range, a different Model No. drive must be used.
NOTE: Setting n036 to " 0.0 " disables the motor overload protection
function, regardless of the setting of n037 or n038 .
n037 : Electronic Thermal Motor Protection Factory setting: 0
Range: 0 to 2
Setting Electronic Thermal Characteristics
0 Short term rating
1 Standard rating
2 Electronic thermal overload protection disabled
n038 : Electronic Thermal Overload Protection Factory setting: 8
Time Constant
Range: 1 to 60 min.
This parameter sets the electronic thermal overload relay protection time when when 150% of
overload is applied after the motor is operated continuously at rated current.
The Drive protects against motor overload with a UL-recognized, built-in electronic thermal overload
relay.
The electronic thermal overload function monitors motor temperature, based on drive output current
and time, to protect the motor from overheating. When the electronic thermal overload trips, an
“ oL1 ” error occurs, shutting OFF the drive output and preventing excessive overheating of the motor.
When operating with one drive connected to only one motor, an external thermal relay is not needed.
When operating several motors with one drive, install a thermal overload relay on each motor.
