TH
Electronic thermal relay function pre-alarm
Mitsubishi Electric · Mitsubishi FR-E800 Variable Frequency Drive
What does TH mean?
This pre-alarm appears if the cumulative value of the electronic thermal O/L relay reaches or exceeds 85% of the preset level in Pr.9 (Electronic thermal O/L relay). It serves as a warning that the motor is approaching its thermal limit, and a protective shutdown will activate if 100% is reached.
Common Causes
- Motor winding temperature nearing the thermal overload limit.
- Excessive motor current draw over an extended period.
- Ambient temperature sensor reading indicates high operating temperature.
- Motor thermal model calculating a high temperature (e.g., based on P3-XX parameters).
