2.2.2.
Stall protection I
st
> (48)
The stall protection unit I
st
> measures the fundamental
frequency component of the phase currents.
Stage I
st
> can be configured for definite time or inverse time
operation characteristic.
The stall protection stage protects the motor against prolonged
starts caused by e.g. a stalled rotor. While the current has been
less than I
Stop
= 10% x I
mot
and then within 200 milliseconds
exceeds I
StartMin
the stall protection stage starts to count the
operation time T according to equation 2.2.2. The equation is
also drawn in Figure 2.2.2-1. When current drops below 120 %
x I

the stall protection stage releases.
