The load should be connected between the U and V phases as shown. The drive attempts to produces a square wave of output current at the frequency defined by the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). The magnitude of the current is
controlled by the Torque Reference (04.008) as a percentage of the Rated Current (05.007). Iq, Torque Producing Current (04.002) shows the magnitude of the output current, which for a square wave is the same as the r.m.s. value of
current. The following should be noted about this control mode:
1. Id, Magnetising Current (04.017) remains at zero, and Current Magnitude (04.001) = Iq, Torque Producing Current (04.002).
2. Output Power (05.003) shows the correct magnitude of output power flowing from the drive, but this will always be positive whatever the phase relationship between the output current and voltage.
3. The maximum possible output voltage from the drive is a square wave with a magnitude approximately equal to the D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005).
4. High performance current controller mode is used and the current controller gains should be set up based on the load impedance for this mode as defined in the description of Current Controller Kp Gain (04.013) for RFC-A and
RFC-S modes.
5. The drive thermal model will provide protection for the drive as though the output frequency is 0Hz whatever the value of the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). This should be taken into account because the thermal capabilities of
the drive in this mode are the same as other modes when the motor is at standstill.

The Stator Resistance (05.017), Transient Inductance (05.024) and Stator Inductance (05.025) are derived from the star connected per phase equivalent circuit of an induction motor shown below.
