îš‹ Motor Preheat Function
The motor preheat function can be used to prevent e.g. moisture inside the motor due to condensation. Two
different current levels are available. The preheat currents can be set in parameters b2-09 and b2-10 as a per-
centage of the Inverter rated current. Both functions are enabled by digital inputs. If the Drive Enable (H1-
=6A) or Bypass Drive Enable (H1-=70) function is used the motor preheat function 2 has to be used,
the preheat function 2 can then also be activated without enabling the drive.
