Thermal motor monitoring
Description
2
With the I
t monitoring you can monitor self−ventilated three−phase AC motors thermally without
sensors.

Note!
2
The I
xt monitoring is based on a mathematical model which calculates a thermal
ƒ
motor utilisation from the motor currents measured.
However, the I
ƒ
the motor utilisation cannot be detected, like changed cooling conditions (e.g.
cooling air flow interrupted or too warm).
You can only obtain full motor protection if the motor is equipped with a PTC
ƒ
thermistor or a thermal contact.

Warnings!
If you use the I

required.
For devices from software version V3.9 (nameplate data: E82xV... xx 39), an additional
setting is required!
