Boundary conditions
The following table shows the framework conditions that must be met in order to be able to use thermal motor protection without a temperature sensor:
Category | Peripheral conditions |
---|---|
Type of cooling | fan-cooled |
Ambient temperature | –20 – 40 °C |
Thermal class of winding | 155(F), 180(H) |
Installation altitude | <1000 m |
For motors with forced cooling fans as well as fan-free and non-ventilated motors, the thermal motor protection must not be used without a temperature sensor.
In the case of multi-motor drives and group drives, as well as third-party motors, it is not possible to use the thermal motor protection without a temperature sensor.
For motors with speed sensor, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends using a thermal sensor.
