2.2.2 Self−ventilated motors
Due to the construction, self−ventilated standard motors are exposed to an increased heat
generation in the lower speed range compared to forced ventilated motors.
Warnings!
For complying with the UL 508C standard, you have to set the
speed−dependent evaluation of the permissible torque via code C0129/x.

Fig. 2−2 Working point in the range of characteristic lowering
The lowered speed / torque characteristic (Fig. 2−2) reduces the permissible thermal load
of self−ventilated standard motors. The characteristic is a line the definition of which
requires two points:
ƒ Point : Definition with C0129/1
This value also enables an increase of the maximally permissible load.
ƒ Point : Definition with C0129/2
With increasing speeds, the maximally permissible load remains unchanged
(I
Mot
= I
rated
).
In Fig. 2−2, the motor speed and the corresponding permissible motor torque () can be
read for each working point (on the characteristic () ... ). can also be calculated
using the values in C0129/1and C0129/2 (evaluation coefficient "y", 25)
