1  FCC  Characteristic which compensates the voltage losses of the stator 
resistance for static (steady-state) or dynamic loads (flux current control 
FCC). This is especially used for small motors which have a relatively high 
stator resistance. Refer to Section 3.21.1.2. 
2 Square-law 
character-
istic 
This is a characteristic which 
takes into consideration the 
torque characteristic of the driven 
load (e.g. fan / pump) 
a)  Square-law characteristic  
(f 
2
 characteristic) 
b)  Energy saving as the lower 
voltage also results in lower 
currents and losses.
