Programming
Motor Protection
While the Basic Setup group allows the user to get started with a minimum
number of parameters to modify, the Motor Protection group allows full access
to the SMC Flex controller’s powerful parameter set. Following is a listing of the
additional setup parameters provided.
TIP
The majority of parameters have a Fault and an Alarm setting.
Parameter
Option
Overload
Allows the user to select the operation of the overload.
Trip Class, Service Factor, Motor FLC, Overload Reset,
Overload Alarm Level
Underload
(1)
(2)
Determines the trip level as a percentage of the motor’s
FLA, and the delay period.
(1) The delay time must be set to a value greater than zero when Undervoltage, Overvoltage and Unbalance are enabled.
(2) For Jam and Underload detection to function, the Motor FLC must be programmed in the Motor Protection group. See

Undervoltage
Determines the trip level as a percentage of line voltage
and delay period.

Unbalance
Allows the user to set the current unbalance trip level and
delay period.

Unbalance Alarm Delay
Determines the trip level as a percentage of motor full
load current and delay period.

Stall
Allows the user to set the stall delay time.

Ground Fault
(3)
Allows the user to enable the ground fault level in amps,
delay time and inhibit time. A separate core balance
current transformer is required.

PTC
(4)
Allows the user to connect a PTC to the SMC and enable a
fault when it becomes active.
(4) See details in
Thermistor/PTC Protection on page 13
.
PTC Enable
Phase Reversal
Determines the proper orientation of line connections to
the SMC. If Enabled and phases are out of sequence, a
fault will be indicated.
Phase Reversal
Restarts
Allows the user to determine the maximum number of
restarts per hour the unit can experience, and delay time
between consecutive starts.
