Q Can a 230V 3-phase motor be driven by a 400V drive?
A Yes, no problem. Just set the Max. Output Voltage Pr01-02=230V.
The output rms voltage is in this case 230V but the peaks are still 560V (from the DC-
bus). But 230V motors in general can handle this.If you use 400V drives, you should
select them based on the motor’s rated current.
Q How to preset speeds and master frequency via Modbus?
A When Frequency command by RS-485 and preset speeds are active, all drives will
accept a change of the master frequency via RS-485 without 04 error, except VFD-E.
Q Why do we measure voltage on PE?
A See diagram:
When PE is left open, both red capacitors (the so-called Y-capacitors) act as a voltage
divider.
The same happens because of capacitors in the built-in filter.
Therefore at PE you will find about half the mains voltage.When PE is connected
(which is very strongly recommended), you will have no problem.
Q Braking with brake resistor doesn’t work well. Why?
A When you use a brake resistor (brake chopper built-in or external brake unit) you have
to disable OV-stall prevention. It will interfere with the braking action, resulting in
longer deceleration rampes than expected.
Please refere to the different user manuals for the exact parameter.
