Thermal motor protection
Thermal motor protection avoids overheating and, therefore, prevents irreparable damage to the motor. For this purpose, temperature sensors detect the winding temperature. As standard, the inverters can evaluate the following temperature sensors.
Motor protection | Number of sensors | SEW-EURODRIVE designation |
|---|---|---|
PTC thermistor | 3 | TF |
Bimetallic temperature switch | 3 | TH |
Motor series | Temperature sensor | Motor protection |
|---|---|---|
DR.. | TF, TH | Comprehensive protectionComprehensive protection due to one sensor per motor phase. |
Third-party motors | PTC thermistor, | Comprehensive protectionComprehensive protection due to one sensor per motor phase. |
For additional information on the thermal motor protection, refer to the documentation of the motors.
