5-2. Output Current Detection Characteristics
Frequency inverter has several detection characteristics for output current to protect IGBT from break
down, or to protect motor from over heat.
[1] Over current
Frequency inverter shuts off the output instantaneously when output current exceeds to 220%(190)
of its rated current. (OC level is no link with Electronic thermal level)
e.g. Over current protection level of SJ100-015NFE (7.1 Amps of rated current) is
7.1 [Arms] * 200% = 14.2 [Arms] = 20.1 [A peak]
[2] Over load (Electronic thermal protection)
Frequency inverter shuts off the output when integration value of output current and time exceeds
specific value.
