Motor Control Modes
[Motor Cntl Sel] selects the output mode of the drive. The choices are:
•
Custom Volts/Hertz
Used in multi-motor or synchronous motor applications.
•
Fan/Pump Volts/Hertz
Used for centrifugal fan/pump (variable torque) applications to achieve
maximum energy savings.
•
Sensorless Vector
Used for most constant torque applications. Provides excellent starting,
acceleration and running torque.
•
Sensorless Vector w/Economizer
Used for additional energy savings in constant torque applications that have
constant speed reduced load periods.
•
Flux Vector
Used when high performance speed regulation or torque regulation is required.
•
Adjustable Voltage
Typically used for non-motor applications such as resistive loads, welding
equipment and power supplies, but also linear motors.
The following table shows the performance differences between V/Hz, Sensorless
Vector and Flux Vector.
Volts/Hertz
Volts/Hertz operation creates a fixed relationship between output voltage and
output frequency. The relationship can be defined in two ways.
1.
Fan/Pump
When this option is chosen, the relationship is 1/x
2
. Therefore;
for full frequency, full voltage is supplied and for 1/2 rated frequency,
1/4 voltage is applied, etc. This pattern closely matches the torque requirement
of a variable torque load (centrifugal fan or pump – load increases as speed
increases) and offers the best energy savings for these applications.
