Magnetizing current
6.2.5.1 Magnetizing current asynchronous motor
The rated magnetizing current of an asynchronous motor can be calculated via the
cos(phi) and the rated current or specified directly via parameter dr08.
With the automatic calculation of cos (phi) at major motors (> 30kW) one obtain of-
ten too high magnetizing current. This high current causes additional stator losses
and the drive reaches the voltage limit faster at higher speeds. Since the increased
current must be reduced again via the maximum voltage controller causes negative
effects in the dynamic operation.
The actual calculation is based on the accuracy of the type plate data, especially of
the rated current.
