ACS55 motor overload protection
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes the motor overload protection function in ACS55 drive.
Description
ACS55 estimates motor temperature based on measured output current and motor
I
nom
setting, and automatically protects the motor from overheating by tripping. The
trip time depends on the extent of the overload (I
out
/I
nom
), the output frequency and
nominal motor frequency. If the motor cables are long they cause large capacitive
currents.
Running at low speed (under 35 Hz break point) motor overload (I
2
t overload) takes
place. See Figure 25.
To avoid unnecessary overload tripping due to long motor cables or low speed, set
the MOTOR I NOM potentiometer to the maximum value. This will disable the motor
overload fault. Note that after this setting the motor overheat protection in no longer
in use and will not protect the motor from overheating. The motor overload
protection can also be disabled via DriveConfig by setting the parameter 3005
MOTOR THERMAL PROTECTION to DISABLED.
To reduce large capacitive currents with long motor cables, use output choke
(ACS-CHK-X).
Figure 25. Trip time
By setting the motor nominal speed to 60 Hz by dip switch, the break point in Figure
25 is set to 42 Hz instead of 35 Hz. If the motor nominal frequency is set by
DriveConfig software, the break point is raised from 35 Hz to 42 Hz if the motor
nominal frequency is over 55 Hz.
