Motor Setup
The motor nameplate provides information for the measurement algorithm. This information determines the
mechanical parameters from the electrical signals that are used for measurements. It is critical that you
enter the nameplate settings accurately to obtain accurate readings.
To open the Motor Setup screen:
1. Push . The MENU screen opens.
2. Push to change the page view.
3. Use
to move through the menu selections and highlight Motor Analyzer.
4. Push to open the Motor Setup screen.
Table 3 is a list of the supported motor operating ranges.
Note
pU (per Unit) = Measured value / Rated value
Table 4 is a list of the operating ranges for variable speed drives.
5. Use
to enter the motor nameplate parameters.
The Motor Analyzer supports motor designs according to NEMA and IEC design types. See Table 5 and
Table 6. If the design type is unknown, select Other. When set to Other, you must consider an additional
error of +5 % for the mechanical motor parameters.
