In a star connection, the motor can provide its
rated torque M
N
in the range 0…rated fre‐
quencyf
N
.
Rated voltage U
N
= 400 V is available at a rated
frequencyf
N
=50Hz.
The motor goes into eld weakening above the
rated frequency. In eld weakening, the avail‐
able motor torque decreases linearly with 1/f.
In eld weakening, the available power re‐
mains constant.

In a delta connection, the motor is operated
with a voltage and frequency above its rated
values. As a consequence, the motor power is
increased by a factor ≈1.73.
In the range f=0…87Hz, the motor can out‐
put its rated torqueM
N
.
The maximum voltage U = 400 V is available at
a frequency of f= ×50Hz ≈ 87Hz.
The motor only goes into eld weakening above 87Hz.
The higher motor power when operated with an 87Hz characteristic has the following
disadvantages:
• The converter must supply approximately 1.73x current. Select a converter based on its rated
current - and not its rated power.
• The motor temperature increases more signicantly than when operated with f≤50Hz.
• The motor must have windings that are approved for a voltage> rated voltage U
N
.
• As the fan impeller rotates faster, the motor has a higher noise level than operation with
f≤50Hz.
