The "Flying restart" function (this is enabled using P1200, refer to Table 3-33) 
allows the drive inverter to be switched to a motor which is still spinning. If the drive 
inverter was to be powered-up without using the flying restart function, there would 
be a high possibility that a fault with overcurrent F0001 would occur. The reason for 
this is that the flux must first be established in the motor and the V/f control or 
closed-loop Vector control must be set corresponding to the actual motor speed. 
The drive inverter frequency is synchronized with the motor frequency using the 
flying restart function. 
When the drive inverter is normally powered-up it is assumed that the motor is 
stationary and the drive inverter accelerates the motor from standstill and the 
speed is ramped-up to the setpoint which has been entered. However, in many 
cases this condition is not fulfilled. A fan drive is a typical example. When the drive 
inverter is powered-down the air flowing through the fan can cause it to rotate in 
any direction.

¾  V/f characteristic (P1300 < 20): 
The search frequency is reduced, as a function of the DC link current with the 
search rate which is calculated from parameter P1203. In so doing, the 
parameterizable search current P1202 is impressed. If the search frequency is 
close to the rotor frequency, the DC link current suddenly changes because the 
flux in the motor establishes itself. Once this state has been reached, the 
search frequency is kept constant and the output voltage is changed to the 
voltage value of the V/f characteristic with the magnetizing time P0346 (refer to 
Fig. 3-82).
