Current Limiting for
Frequency Control
The current limiting module prevents the OutputCurrent value from
exceeding the OperativeCurrentLimit value when the drive is configured in
Frequency Control mode.
Figure 99 - Current Limiting Module
In Frequency Control mode, OperativeCurrentLimit is the minimum value of
the motor-thermal current limit, inverter-thermal current limit, motor-peak
current limit, drive-peak current limit, and the CurrentVectorLimit value.
The Effects of Current Limiting
Indirect current limiting is available for induction motors configured for
frequency control. You can use this feature to help prevent overcurrent faults
due to aggressive acceleration/deceleration profiles or impact loads. The
Current Limiting attribute uses a PI regulator to control the OutputCurrent by
adjusting the velocity reference.

IMPORTANT When configured for Frequency Control (induction motors only), select the
Decel and disable stopping action only when the Current Limiting feature is
enabled.
