Speed Search
The speed search function finds the actual speed of a motor that is coasting without control, and then starts
smoothly from that speed. It is also activated after momentary power loss detection when L2-01 is set to
enabled.

* Factory settings depend on Inverter capacity. (The values shown are for a 200 V Class Inverter for 0.4 kW.)

Speed search selection (current
detection or speed calculation)
Enables/disables the speed search function for the RUN
command and sets the speed search method.
0: Disabled, speed calculation
1: Enabled, speed calculation
2: Disabled, current detection
3: Enabled, current detection
Speed Calculation
When the search is started, the motor speed is calculated
and acceleration/deceleration is performed from the
calculated speed to the specified frequency (motor
direction is also searched).
Current Detection
The speed search is started from the frequency when
power was momentarily lost or the maximum frequency,
and the speed is detected when the set search current
level is reached.

Speed search operating current
(current detection)
Sets the speed search operation current as a percentage,
taking the Inverter rated current as 100%.
Usually not necessary to set. When restarting is not possi-
ble with the factory settings, reduce the value.

Sets the time for deceleration from the maximum output
frequency to the minimum output frequency.

b3-05
Speed search wait time (current
detection or speed calculation)
When a speed search is performed after recovering from a
momentary power loss, the search operation is delayed for
the time set here.
If e.g. a contactor is used at the output side of the inverter
set this constant to the contactor delay time or more.

Can be used to turn off the bidirectional capabilities of the

will only be performed in the last known direction.

Min. baseblock time
Sets the Inverter’s minimum baseblock time, when the
inverter is restarted after power loss ridethrough.
Set the time to approximately 0.7 times the motor time
constant.
If an overcurrent or undercurrent occurs when starting a
speed search or DC injection braking, increase the set val-
ues.
