îš‹ Motor Overheating Protection Using PTC Thermistor Inputs
This function provides a motor overheating protection using a thermistor (PTC characteristic – Positive Tem-
perature Coefficient) which is built into the windings of each motor phase. The thermistor must be connected
to an analog input.

Operation during Motor Overheating
The operation when the motor overheats can be selected using the parameters L1-03 and L1-04. A motor over-
heat detection filter time can be set in parameter in L1-05 to prevent misdetected over heat faults.
If the motor temperature rises to the motor overheat pre-alarm level, an OH3 alarm is shown on the display
and the operation is continued according to the setting in L1-03.
If the operation is continued and the motor temperature rises further and reaches the motor overheat detection
level, an OH4 fault is shown at the display and the operation is stopped according to the setting in L1-04.
