Torque Performance Modes 2-205
Torque Performance
Modes
[Torque Perf Mode] or [Motor Cntl Sel] (Vector) selects the output mode of
the drive. The choices are:
Custom Volts/Hertz
Used in multi-motor or synchronous motor applications.
Fan/Pump Volts/Hertz
Used for centrifugal fan/pump (variable torque) installations for
additional energy savings.
Sensorless Vector
Used for most general constant torque applications. Provides excellent
starting, acceleration and running torque.
Sensorless Vector w/Economizer
Used in constant torque applications that have significant “idle” time
(time spent at greatly reduced load) to offer additional energy
conservation.
The following table shows the performance differences between V/Hz and
Sensorless Vector.
Volts/Hertz
Volts/Hertz operation creates a fixed relationship between output voltage
and output frequency. The relationship can be defined in two ways.
1. Fan/Pump
When this option is chosen, the relationship is 1/X
2
. Therefore;
for full frequency, full voltage is supplied and for ½1/2 rated frequency,
1/4 voltage is applied, etc. This pattern closely matches the torque
requirement of a variable torque load (centrifugal fan or pump – load
increases as speed increases) and offers the best energy savings for these
applications.
2. Custom
Custom Volts/Hertz allows a wide variety of patterns using linear
segments. The default configuration is a straight line from zero to rated
voltage and frequency. This is the same volts/hertz ratio that the motor
