Interpolation of power loss
Determine the power loss at an arbitrary operating point
using 2-dimensional interpolation.
3.2.4 Losses and Eciency of a Motor
The eciency of a motor running at 50–100% of the
nominal motor speed and at 75–100% of the nominal
torque is practically constant. This is valid both when the
frequency converter controls the motor, or when the motor
runs directly on mains.
The eciency depends on the type of motor and the level
of magnetization.
For more information about motor types, refer to the
motor technology brochure at www.vlt-drives.danfoss.com.
3.2.5 Losses and Eciency of a Power Drive
System
To estimate the power losses at dierent operating points
for a power drive system, sum the power losses at the
operating point for each system component:
•
Frequency converter.
•
Motor.
•
Auxiliary equipment.
3.2.6 Losses and Eciency of a Power Drive
System with Installed Filter
The power loss of the VLT
®
Advanced Harmonic Filter
AHF005/AHF010 is specied in 5 dierent operating points
as 0–100% load. The current load and power loss are
specied in each operating point. See Table 9.2 for power
losses.
The power loss in the AHF depends on the operating point
and is a function of the input current in the AHF. The
identication point of operation of the AHF is based on
the input current to the frequency converter. The input
current of the frequency converter equals the input current
to the AHF.

The output current of the frequency converter consists of
the torque-producing component and the motor magneti-
zation component. Dierent factors aect the relationship
between the input current and output current of a
frequency converter. For example, part load causes a
signicant dierence between the 2 currents.
