Setting the Motor Overload Switches
The Motor Overload Setting Switches adjust the level of motor overload current
protection necessary to protect the motor in case of an over current condition.
Bank 1 switches 1, 2 and 3 allow adjustment of the motor overload setting.
These switches adjust the motor overload protection as a percentage of the full
load output current rating of the controller. Choose a motor overload setting that
meets or is less than the motor's SFA rating. For example, if the full load output
current rating of the controller is 37A and the motor SFA rating is 33A, the motor
overload setting should be set to 85% (33A/37A = 89%, next lowest setting is
85%).
In applications where the pump and motor are not used to the full capacity the
system may not draw current close to the motor's SFA rating. In this case choose
a motor overload setting that is close to the actual full load running current.
Note
If single phase input power is used the motor overload switches must be set to 50% or lower or
nuisance input phase loss errors can result.
The chart below shows the motor overload setting for each model.
