can protect neighboring equipment from being damaged.
4.5.2 Protect the motor and motor cable in short circuit
If the motor cable is selected based on rated inverter current, the inverter will be able to protect the
motor cable and motor during short circuit without other protective devices.
If the inverter is connected to multiple motors, it is a must to use a separated
thermal overload switch or breaker to protect the cable and motor, which may
require the fuse to cut off the short circuit current.
4.5.3 Protect motor and prevent thermal overload
According to the requirements, the motor must be protected to prevent thermal overload. Once
overload is detected, users must cut off the current. The inverter is equipped with motor thermal
overload protection function, which will block output and cut off the current (if necessary) to protect
the motor.
4.5.4 Bypass connection
In some critical occasions, industrial frequency conversion circuit is necessary to ensure proper
operation of the system when inverter fault occurs.
In some special cases, eg, only soft startup is needed, it will converts to power-frequency operation
directly after soft startup, corresponding bypass link is also needed.
Do not connect any power source to inverter output terminals U, V and W. The
voltage applied to motor cable may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
If frequent switch-over is needed, users can use the switch which carries mechanical interlock or a
contactor to ensure motor terminals will not be connected to input power cables and inverter output
ends simultaneously.
