Chapter 3 Evaluating the PowerFlex 7-Class Internal Resistor
2B. If P
ave
is greater than R
cont.
you will need to extend the cycle time (in
seconds) by the result of the following equation.
3. Find the correct constant temperature Power Curve for your drive type,
voltage and frame.

4. Plot the point where the value of AL, calculated in Step 4 of Chapter 2, and
the desired deceleration time (t
3
– t
2
) intersect.
5. Plot the value of PL, calculated in Step 5 of Chapter 2, on the vertical axis
(0 seconds).
6. Connect AL at (t
3
– t
2
) and PL at 0 seconds with a straight line. This line is the
power curve described by the motor as it decelerates to minimum speed.
