6.3 Motor
For optimum operating behavior, you should enter the specifications on the 
motor's rating plate here. They are the base values used to control the 
motor.

6.3.1 Circuit types for motor stator windings
When selecting the rating data, take the dependency of the type of switching 
on the strength of the feeding mains voltage into account:
• 230 V (P-07)
  delta circuit  P-08 = 4 A
• 400 V (P-07)  star-connected circuit  P-08 = 2.3 A
Figure 65: Circuits (delta, star)
Example
Single-phase connection of DC1-124D8… variable frequency drive to a mains 
voltage of 230 V. The motor's stator winding has a delta connection (motor 
rated current of 4 A as per rating plate in Figure 64). See 
1)
 in the default 
settings.
Required changes for electrically mapping the motor:
P-07 = 230, P-08 = 4.0, P-09 = 50

The motor data is set to the rated operational data for the vari-
able frequency drive and depends on the performance variables 
in default settings.
