7 Running the motor
This chapter takes the new user through all the essential steps to
running a motor for the first time, in each of the possible operating
modes.
Table 7-1 Minimum control connection requirements for each
control mode
Refer to Figure 4-1 Power connections for 480V drive on page 33 for
minimum connections to get a motor running.
Ensure that no damage or safety hazard could arise from the
motor starting unexpectedly.
The values of the motor parameters affect the protection of
the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 5.07
(SE07, 0.28) Motor rated current. This affects the thermal
protection of the motor.
If the keypad mode has been used previously, ensure that
the keypad reference has been set to 0 using the
buttons as if the drive is started using the keypad it will run to
the speed defined by the keypad reference (Pr 1.17).
If the intended maximum speed affects the safety of the
machinery, additional independent over-speed protection
must be used.
