DURAPULSE Quickstart
The following examples will help you quickly set up your DURAPULSE AC Drive
for two common applications. The first example applies to an application that
requires constant torque, and the second example requires variable torque in its
application.
Example 1: Constant torque (e.g. conveyors, compressors, etc.)
In this example, the AC drive needs to operate a motor that is connected to a conveyor.
In order to decide which parameters need modifications, we will make a list of the needs
for the application.
Application Needs
•The AC drive must control a 460V, 1hp inverter duty motor. We will use a
model GS3-41P0 AC drive for this application. An example of the motor
nameplate is shown below.
•The maximum speed for the motor is 2000 rpm.
•The motor should accelerate to maximum speed in 5 seconds.
•The motor should decelerate from maximum speed in 5 seconds.
(Applications with high starting torque reqirements and/or high inertia
loads may require optional braking resistors.)
•The motor will require a high torque when starting.
•The operation of the motor (start, stop, etc.) will be controlled by remote
control terminals. All keys on the DURA
PULSE keypad should be disabled.
•The frequency of the AC drive will be determined by remote potentiometer
that has a 0 to +10V signal.
•The display of the AC drive should default to the motor speed (rpm) when
running.
