Illustration 89: Output Current in Overload Condition
If the motor is unable to run continuously with the demanded capacity, run it at reduced speed for a while.
Select
parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
to automatically reduce motor speed until the output current is below 100% of
the rated current (set in
parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
).
Parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
is an alternative
to letting the drive trip.
The drive estimates the load on the power section with an inverter load counter, which causes a warning at 98% and a reset of the
warning at 90%. At the value 100%, the drive trips and issues an alarm. Status for the counter can be read in
parameter 16-35 Inverter
Thermal
.
If
parameter 14-61 Function at Inverter Overload
is set to
[3] Derate
, the motor speed is reduced when the counter exceeds 98%, and
stays reduced until the counter has dropped below 90.7%. If
parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
is set to for example 95%,
a steady overload causes the pump speed to fluctuate between values corresponding to 110% and 95% of rated output current for
the drive.

Derate
Reduces the motor speed to decrease the load on the power section and allowing it to cool down.
Parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
Table 752: Parameter 14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
14-62 Inv. Overload Derate Current
Default value: 95%
Parameter type: Range, 50 - 100%
Setup: All setups
Conversion index: 0
Data type: Uint16
Change during operation: True
Enter the current level (in % of rated output current for the drive) when running with reduced motor speed after load on the drive
has exceeded the allowable limit (110% for 60 s).
