Percentage Load (04.020) gives the Iq, Torque Producing Current (04.002) as a percentage of the rated torque producing current for the motor. Positive
values indicate motoring and negative values represent regenerating.
Parameter 04.021 Current Feedback Filter Disable

If Current Feedback Filter Disable (04.021) = 0 a 4ms filter is applied to the current feedback components measured by the drive to be used in Iq,
Torque Producing Current (04.002) and Id, Magnetising Current (04.017). This filter removes ripple components associated with the PWM switching. If
Current Feedback Filter Disable (04.021) = 1, the filter is disabled and the user parameters are based on the current components sampled every
250us.

User Current Maximum Scaling (04.024) defines the variable maximum/minimums VM_USER_CURRENT and VM_USER_CURRENT_HIGH_RES
which are applied to Percentage Load (04.020), Torque Reference (04.008) and Torque Offset (04.009). This is useful when routing these parameters
to an analog output as it allows the full scale output value to be defined by the user.
The maximum value (VM_TORQUE_CURRENT_UNIPOLAR [MAX]) varies between drive sizes with default parameters loaded. For some drive sizes
the default value may be reduced below the value given by the parameter range limiting.

The shaft torque of the motor is estimated by the drive and Percentage Torque (04.026) gives this torque as a percentage of the expected torque
defined by Rated Torque (04.041). The default value for Rated Torque (04.041) is zero which disables this feature so that Percentage Torque
(04.026) is always zero. To enable the torque estimation system Rated Torque (04.041) should be set to the expected torque from the motor under
rated conditions. For accurate torque estimation, and consistent results for both motoring and regenerating conditions, it is necessary to provide the
drive with the core losses under no-load and rated load conditions at rated speed (i.e. No-load Core Loss (04.045) and Rated Core Loss
(04.046) respectively). The drive will then include the core power loss in the torque calculation as
PCoreLoss = No-load Core Loss (04.045) + (Rated Core Loss (04.046) - No-load Core Loss (04.045)) x (Torque Producing Current / Rated Torque
Producing Current)
