Overcurrent protection is not the same thing as short-circuit protection. I suggest you read your drive manual, or call your sales rep.

RE: Short circuit protection in VSD

hi,
I went through the manual, it states that a overcurrent protection trip limit is 4*I(rated) instantaneously.
The manual has printed possible causes for overcurrent:
1. sudden load increase
2. short circuit in motor cables
3. unsuitable motor
In a short circuit, it is basically an instantaneous inrush current. I thought it should be covered in the overcurrent protection?
Questions:
1. Does protections means reducing damages to a minimum? Or immune from such a disaster?
2. According to their sales rep, when in such a situation, the warranty claim is void as the cause is external, ironically it seems the VSD was unable to protect itself.
What are your comments?
