P1-08 Rated motor current

Setting range: 20 – 100% of the inverter output current. Is given as absolute value in ampere.

Specifies the rated current of the motor connected to the inverter (according to the motor nameplate). This allows the inverter to match its internal thermal motor protection (I x t protection) to the motor.

If the inverter output current is > 100% of the nominal motor current, the inverter switches off the motor after a certain amount of time (I.-trP) before there is any thermal damage to the motor.
