7.4.1 Winding Change Function
Winding change motors can be connected in two different ways, Y (low speed) - and
(high speed) - wind-
ings.
The base frequency of the Y-winding is lower than that of
-winding, providing higher torque at low
speeds. For the -winding, high speeds are possible.
By switching between the two winding connections, a wide constant power range can be obtained, benefi-
cial for driving the spindle of a lathe or a milling machine.
