Motor Application Precautions
îš‹ Using the Inverter for an Existing Standard Motor
Observe the following precautions when using an Inverter for an existing standard motor.
Low Speed Ranges
If a standard cooled motor is used at low speed the cooling effects are diminished. If the motor is used in con-
stant torque applications in low speed area the motor may overheat. If full torque is required at low speed con-
tinuously an externally cooled motor must be used.
Installation Withstand Voltage
If the Inverter is used with an input voltage of 440 V or higher and long motor cables, voltage spikes at the
motor terminals may occur which can damage the motor windings. Ensure that the motor insulation class is
sufficient.
Acoustic Noise
The acoustic noise generated in the motor depends on the carrier frequency. The higher the setting, the less is
the generated acoustic noise.
