NOTE
Transient Surge Suppression Overvoltage Protec-
tion shall be externally provided in the end use
application on the Line side of the equipment by
any suitable R/C Surge-protective Devices – Com-
ponent (VZCA2/VZCA8) or a suitable “Power
Supply/System” of “Overvoltage Category II”,
rated minimum Nominal Voltage 160 V, maximum
Voltage Protection Rating VPR=2500 Vpk and
minimum Nominal Discharge Current In=5kA.

OVERLOAD IMPLEMENTATION: BY THE USER
The drive implements an algorithm for protection
againstmotor current overload;the user is responsi-
bleforsettingthepropervalueofMotorratedcurrent
parameter.
