Basic Volts/Hertz for Fan/Pump Applications
The Basic Volts/Hertz Fan/Pump (fan/pump) method is based on the Basic
Volts/Hertz (V/Hz) method, but is specifically tailored for fan/pump
applications.
Figure 210 - Output Voltage Equation
For maximum system efficiency, fan/pump loads use variable frequency drives
that are equipped with a specific V/Hz curve where voltage is proportional to
square of the frequency.

The Fan/Pump control method supports the run-boost attribute, but
does not support break-voltage, break-frequency, or start-boost.
