However, this configuration limits the overload limit to 110% for 60 seconds. Attempting to run high-inertia loads (like positive displacement pumps or crushers) on the SLD rating can trigger intermittent overcurrent trips (E.OC1 or E.OC2). For high-torque applications, the drive must be programmed and wired under the Normal Duty (115A \/ 150% overload) or Heavy Duty (96A \/ 200% overload) profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eBecause this VFD lacks standard internal plated conductors, ensure all high-power terminal connections are torqued precisely to the OEM specifications in the manual to prevent oxidation or terminal overheating. Use symmetrical shielded motor cables (3-phase + ground) and establish a solid 360-degree ground contact on the metal cable gland plate to minimize high-frequency electromagnetic noise emitting to nearby analog instrumentation lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fff5f5; border-left: 4px solid #c53030; padding: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; color: #9b2c2c;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eCRITICAL WARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hazardous voltage levels exist inside the enclosure.
