Function
With the I
2
¼ t monitoring, self-ventilated three-phase AC motors can be thermally monitored without
using sensors.
Adjustment
-
Enter an individual load limit for the motor connected.
- If this values is exceeded for a longer period of time, the controller will set the fault OC6 and
switch-off (see chart).
-
The current limits C022 and C023 only have an indirect influence on the I
2
¼ t calculation:
- The settings of C022 and C023 can make the operation with maximum controller load (C056)
impossible.
-
When selecting a drive which does not match (output current much higher than rated motor
current):
- Reduce C120 by the factor of the mismatch.
Example:
With C120 = 100 % and a load of C056 = 150 %, the controller switches off after 60 s when
reaching f
d
> 40 Hz, or earlier with f
d
< 40 Hz.
Important
-
The setting 0 % deactivates the function.
-
This monitoring does not provide full motor protection since the calculated motor temperature is
set to ”0” after every mains connection or disconnection. The connected motor can be
overheated, if
- it is already hot but still overloaded,
- the cooling-air stream is interrupted or the air is too hot.
-
Full motor protection can be achieved with a PTC thermistor in the motor.
- We recommend the general use of PTC monitoring systems for multi-motor drives.
-
To prevent motors with forced ventilation from starting too early, this function can be deactivated.
-
If load-adapted motors are to be monitored at a load of < 100 %, C120 must also be reduced
accordingly.
-
The operation of the controller with 120 % overload might lead to the activation of the I
2
k t
switch-off, because the setting of C120 > 100 % is not possible.
- Deactivate the I
2
k t switch-off for the operation of the controller at 120 %overload.
