Thermal Motor Protection Monitoring circuits I and II Direct drives are often operated to their thermal performance limit. In addition to this, unpredictable overloads could arise in the process. This involves an additional current load above the permissible continuous motor current. This is why the power electronics for motors should generally have overload protection for monitoring the motor current. At the same time, the effective value (root-mean-square I2t) of the motor current may only exceed the permissible continuous motor current for a short period of time. This type of indirect temperature...
