• General-purpose motor and inverter duty motor
Induction motors are classified as general-purpose motors or inverter motors, based
on their cooling capabilities. Therefore, the motor overload function operates
differently between these two motor types.

General-purpose Motor
Effective when operated
at 50/60Hz from
commercial power
supply
Base Frequency 60Hz
(V/f for 60Hz, 220V Input Voltage)
For low-speed operation, torque must be
limited in order to stop motor temperature
rise.

occurs when
continuously operated at
50/60Hz or less at 100%
load.
Inverter Motor
Effective even when
operated at low speed
(approx. 6Hz)
Base Frequency 60Hz
(V/f for 60Hz, 220V Input Voltage)
Use an inverter motor for continuous
operation at low speed.
