îš‹ Energy-saving
To use the energy saving function, set b8-01 (Energy Saving Mode Selection) to 1. Energy-saving control can
be performed in all control methods. The parameters to be adjusted are different for each. In the V/f control
modes adjust b8-04 to b8-05. In Open Loop and Closed Loop Vector control adjust b8-02 and b8-03.

îš„Adjusting Energy-saving Control
The method of adjusting the energy-saving control function depends on the control method. Refer to the fol-
lowing when making adjustments.
V/f Control Modes
In the V/f control modes the voltage for optimum motor efficiency is calculated and becomes the output volt-
age reference.
• b8-04 (Energy-saving Coefficient) is preset assuming that motor and inverter capacity are the same. If the
inverter capacity differs from the motor capacity, set the motor capacity in E2-11 (Motor Rated Output
Power). Also, adjust b8-04 in steps of 5 % until the output power reaches its minimum. The higher the
energy-saving coefficient, the higher is the output voltage.
• To improve the responsiveness when the load fluctuates, reduce the power detection filter time parameter
b8-05. If b8-05 is set too small, however, the motor rotations may become unstable under light load condi-
tions.
• Motor efficiency varies due to temperature fluctuations and differences in motor characteristics. Conse-
quently the motor efficiency has to be controlled. To have optimized efficiency, the search operation varies
the output voltage. Parameter b8-06 (Search Operation Voltage Limiter) limits the range for the voltage
search operation. For 200 V Class Inverters, a range of 100% is equal to 200 V and for 400 V Class Invert-
ers a range of 100% is equal to 400 V. Set b8-06 to 0 to disable the search operation voltage limiter.
