V/F Characteristics
When the motor load has a lot of inertia or 
starting friction, you may need to increase 
the low frequency starting torque charac-
teristics by boosting the voltage above the 
normal V/F ratio (shown at right). The 
boost is applied from zero to 1/2 the base 
frequency. You set the breakpoint of the 
boost (point A on the graph) by using 
parameter A43. The manual boost is calcu-
lated as an addition to the standard straight 
V/F line (constant torque curve).
Be aware that running the motor at a low speed for a long time can cause motor 
overheating. This is particularly true when manual torque boost is on, or if the motor 
relies on a built-in fan for cooling.
Parameter A44 selects the inverter algorithm 
for generating the frequency output, as shown 
in the diagram to the right. The inverter 
generates the motor output according to the 
V/F algorithm selected. The V/F curve is 
oriented toward developing constant torque or 
reduced torque (see graph below, left). You 
can select either constant torque or reduced 
torque V/F control.
Using parameter A45 you can modify the voltage gain of the inverter (see graph above, 
right). This is specified as a percentage of the full scale setting (Automatic Voltage 
Regulation) AVR level in parameter-F03. The gain can be set from 20% to 100%. It 
should be adjusted in accordance with the motor specifications.
