6.8 Drive Tuning 
  Product User Manual  
130  Operating Instructions, Version AE 12/2009, A5E01454341C 
The second stage consists of a scan feature during which a preset level of current of varying 
frequency is applied to the motor. The control monitors the measured motor flux, and when 
the motor flux exceeds a programmable flux threshold, the control assumes that the applied 
frequency is equal to the rotating speed of the motor. 
Spinning Load should be enabled if any of the following operating modes or features is 
selected: 
●  Fast Bypass 
●  VFD Startup while motor is spinning (forward or reverse)o Note that the ability to catch 
and decelerate a motor spinning in the reverse direction is determined by the drive’s 
regenerative current capabilities 
●  Synchronous Motor Control (SMC and CSMC) 
●  Close Loop Vector Control (CLVC) 
 
 
 
Note 
Spinning Load does not provide instantaneous restart with V/Hz control. With 
synchronous motors, spinning load is always instantaneous, i.e., the drive will never go 
into a scan mode.
