3-8-2 Sensorless Vector Control
This sensorless vector control enables the inverter to accurately operate the
motor with a high starting torque, even at low speed. It estimates and controls
the motor speed and output torque based on the inverter output voltage, out-
put current, and the set motor constants on the inverter. To use this function,
specify "03" for the V/F characteristic curve selection (A044/A244).
In prior to use this function, be sure to make optimum setting of the motor con-
stants, which is described before.
When using this function, observe the following precautions:
1. If you use the inverter to drive a motor of which the capacity is two class
lower than the maximum applicable capacity of the inverter, you may not
be able to obtain adequate motor characteristics.
2. If you cannot obtain the desired characteristics from the motor driven un-
der the SLV control, readjust the motor constants according to the symp-
tom, as described in the table below.
Note Note 1) When driving a motor of which the capacity is one class lower than
the inverter, adjust the torque limit (b041 to b044) so that the value "α" calcu-
lated by the expression below does not exceed 200%. Otherwise, the motor
may not be burnt.
α = "torque limit" x (inverter capacity) / (motor capacity)
(Example) When the inverter capacity is 0.75 kW and the motor capacity is
0.4 kW, the torque limit value is calculated as follows, based on the assump-
tion that the value should be 200%:
Torque limit (b041 to b044)= α x (motor capacity) / (inverter capacity)
= 2.0 x (0.4kW)/(0.75kW) = 106%
