Boost is an important parameter to set to get
the best possible motor performance.
Correctly set, it significantly improves torque at
lower speeds. However, it is not relevant for
Fan and Centrifugal Pump applications.
The procedure involves running the motor off-
load at it’s rated speed and making a note of
output current. The motor is then run at 10%
speed and P13 adjusted to ensure that the
output current is the same in both cases.
6.1 How to determine “Motor no-load current” by operating the 650.

6.1.2 Press “M” to open the menu.
Press and hold the “M” button until the display shows “diag”
as illustrated.
Press “M” again to open the diagnostics (diag) menu.
6.1.3 Use the up and down keys to locate output
current.
Make a note of this value. It is “Motor no-load current”
in Amps.
Output current can be identified by the letter “A” on the top
right as shown.
Leave the motor running and continue to the next step
overleaf.
6.1.1 Set speed to 100% and start the motor.
Use the up key to increase speed to 100% (50Hz or 60Hz
depending on motor) and press the green button to start the
motor. Once the motor is running at 100%, proceed to the
next step.
Motor no-load current can only be determined with the
motor running off-load. Decouple the motor from the
machine before beginning!
