Flying restart – switching on while the motor is running
If you switch on the motor while it is still rotating, without the "Flying restart" function, there is
a high probability that a fault will occur as a result of overcurrent (F30001 or F07801). Examples
of applications involving an unintentionally rotating motor directly before switching on:
● The motor rotates after a brief line interruption.
● A flow of air turns the fan impeller.
● A load with a high moment of inertia drives the motor.
Principle of operation
The "Flying restart" function comprises the following steps:
1. After the on command, the inverter impresses the search current in the motor and increases
the output frequency.
2. When the output frequency reaches the actual motor speed, the inverter waits for the motor
excitation build up time.
3. The inverter accelerates the motor to the actual speed setpoint.

0
Flying restart is disabled
1
Flying restart is enabled, search for the motor in both directions, start in the direction
of the setpoint

Flying restart is enabled, search for the motor only in the direction of the setpoint
No "Flying restart" function for group drives
It is not permissible that you enable the "Flying restart" function if the inverter is simultaneously
driving several motors.
