Sensorless Vector Control
This sensorless vector control enables the inverter to accurately operate the motor with
a high starting torque, even at low speed. It estimates and controls the motor speed and
output torque based on the inverter output voltage, output current, and the set motor
constants on the inverter. To use this function, specify “

” for the V/F characteristic
curve selection (

/

).
In prior to use this function, be sure to make optimum setting of the motor constants,
which is described before.
When using this function, observe the following precautions:
(1) If you use the inverter to drive a motor of which the capacity is two class lower than
the maximum applicable capacity of the inverter, you may not be able to obtain
adequate motor characteristics.
(2) If you cannot obtain the desired characteristics from the motor driven under the
SLV control, readjust the motor constants according to the symptom, as described in
the table below.

Note 1) When driving a motor of which the capacity is one class lower than the inverter,
adjust the torque limit (

to

) so that the value “  ” calculated by the
expression below does not exceed 200%. Otherwise, the motor may not be burnt.

= “torque limit” x (inverter capacity) / (motor capacity)
(Example) When the inverter capacity is 0.75kW and the motor capacity is 0.4kW,
the torque limit value is calculated as follows, based on the
assumption that the value

should be 200%:
Torque limit (

to

) =  x (motor capacity) / (inverter capacity)
= 2.0 x (0.4kW)/(0.75kW) = 106%
