Appendix B Application Notes
[Motor OL Hertz]. For all settings of [Motor OL Hertz] other than zero, the
overload capacity is reduced to 70% at an output frequency of zero.
[Motor NP FLA] is multiplied by [Motor OL Factor] to select the rated current
for the motor thermal overload. This can be used to raise or lower the level of
current that will cause the motor thermal overload to trip. The effective overload
factor is a combination of [Motor OL Hertz] and [Motor OL Factor].
