The characteristics of the I2t current fold back circuit. The time thatthe drive remains supplying current above the continuous rating is limited by thecurve shown.and following the enabling the drive. Many drives provide, in effect, an r.m.s.current foldback to limit the power dissipation of the drive or motor, Figure 5.18.The operation is achieved by clamping the current demand to the drive’s continuousrating, typically with zener diodes. The current foldback circuits incorporate asquare-law function that reflects the rotor current heating in the load. The reductionin the current dependence is triggered when the motor current modified by thesquare load exceeds a predetermined value for a length of time, which is typicallytwo to three seconds. The time delay is commonly provided by a conventionalanalogue integrator. The reduction in the peak-current capability is achieved by asecond, lower-voltage, set of zener diodes. In the sizing of the motor-drive, caremust be taken to ensure that the current foldback does not operate under normaloperation.
