2.10 Motor Overload Lockout Calculation
If this parameter is set to automatic, the overload lockout is calculated using the last four starts instead of from the parameter.
It will automatically calculate the overload content required to start the motor. It will lockout the starter if there is not enough overload content available. The release value calculated is based on the average overload content used for the past four (4) successful motor starts. A factor of 1.25 is applied as an application margin.
For example:
The overload content used for the past 4 starts were 30%, 29%, 30%, 27%.
step 1 (30+29+30+27) / 4 = 29%
step 2 29% * 1.25 = 36%.
