Basic Volts/Hertz for Fan/Pump Applications
The Basic Volts/Hertz Fan/Pump (fan/pump) method is based on the Basic
Volts/Hertz (VHz) method, but is tailored for fan/pump applications.
Figure 115 - Output Voltage Equation
For maximum system efficiency, fan/pump loads use variable-frequency
drives that are equipped with a specific VHz curve where the voltage is
proportional to the square of the frequency.

The Fan/Pump control method supports the run-boost attribute, but does not
support break-voltage, break-frequency, or start-boost.
