• 
If the accuracy of the estimated position remains low and the motor still rotates during startup even 
after you increase the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation 0V Waiting Times (H131)/PM Motor 
Initial Pole Position Estimation Detection Waiting Times (H132), increase the PM Initial Pole Position 
Estimation Voltage Gain (H134) value to raise the voltage level of the detection signal. 
 
• 
Depending on the phenomenon during startup, refer to the following table to adjust necessary motor 
parameters. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Initial pole position estimation 
time is too long. 
Decrease the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation 0V Wait- 
ing Times value. 
Decreasing the value too much may cause the motor to rotate 
excessively for positioning or stall. 
Decrease the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation Detec- 
tion Waiting Times value. 
Decreasing the value too much may cause the motor to rotate 
excessively for positioning or stall. 
Decrease the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation Detec- 
tion Times value. 
Decreasing the value too much may cause the motor to rotate 
excessively for positioning or stall. 
 
 
 
 
Motor rotates excessively for 
positioning. 
Increase the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation 0V Wait- 
ing Times value. 
Increase the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation Detection 
Waiting Times value. 
Increase the PM Motor Initial Pole Position Estimation Detection 
Times value. 
Gradually increase the PM Initial Pole Position Estimation Volt- 
age Gain value. 
Increasing the value too much may cause an overcurrent trip. 
 
An overcurrent trip occurs. 
Gradually increase the PM Initial Pole Position Estimation Volt- 
age Gain value. 
Decreasing the value too much may cause the motor to rotate 
excessively for positioning or stall. 
  Precautions for Correct Use 
 
• 
Although high-tone sound occurs during startup when the PM Motor Starting Method Selec- 
tion (H123) is set to 01 (Initial pole position estimation enabled), it is not a fault. 
• 
When the PM Motor Starting Method Selection (H123) is set to 01 (Initial pole position esti- 
mation enabled), start the inverter with the motor stopped. 
Starting the inverter with the motor rotation may cause the motor to rotate excessively for 
positioning or stall. 
• 
For the DC injection braking power during magnetic pole positioning, if the PM Motor Starting 
Current (H117) and DC Injection Braking Power (A057) values are different, then use the 
larger value. 
• 
For the DC injection braking time during magnetic pole positioning, use the sum of the PM 
Motor Starting Time (H118) and Startup DC Injection Braking Time (A058) values. The upper 
limit is 60 seconds.
