Current Overload Protection
Motor currents are continuously monitored for over current protection and locked rotor protection. This protects the Chiller itself from damage due to current overload during starting and running modes but is allowed to reach full load amps. This overload protection logic is independent of the current limit. The overload protection will ultimately shut the unit down anytime the highest of the three phase currents exceeds the
Overload protection for the motor starts based on the Maximum Time to Transition permitted for a particular motor .
Running Over Current Protection
In the run mode, a
