5.4.3.2 Adapting the Vmin boost
The V
min
boost (C00016) of the motor voltage serves to select a load independent
magnetising current which is required for asynchronous motors. The torque behaviour of
the motor can be optimised by adapting the setting in C00016
.
The general linear and quadratic V/f characteristics are shown in the illustrations below.
The illustrations show the impacts of the parameters used to adapt the characteristic
shape.

How to set the V
min
boost:
1. Operate motor in idle state at approx. 6 % of the rated motor speed.
2. Increase V
min
boost (C00016) until the following motor current is reached:
Motor in short-time operation up to 0.5 n
rated
• for self-ventilated motors: I
motor
≈ I
rated motor
• for forced ventilated motors: I
motor
≈ I
rated motor
Motor in continuous operation up to 0.5 n
rated
• for self-ventilated motors: I
motor
≈ 0.8 I

• for forced ventilated motors: I

≈ I

Note!
The V
min
boost has an effect on output frequencies below the V/f base
frequency (C00015
).
