Brief line supply failures can be buffered using the kinetic buffering function 
(enabled using P1240). Line supply failures are buffered using the kinetic energy 
(i.e. moments of inertia) of the driven load. In this case the prerequisite is that the 
driven load has a sufficiently high flywheel mass or is rotating at an appropriately 
high speed – i.e. has adequate kinetic or rotating energy.

Using this technique, the frequency is controlled (closed-loop), so that energy is fed 
to the drive inverter from the regenerating motor thus covering the system losses. 
The losses during the line supply failure still remain which means that the motor 
speed decreases. When using kinetic buffering it has to be taken into consideration 
that the motor speed reduces.

When the line supply returns, the energy feed is again from the line side and the 
output frequency of the drive inverter returns to the selected setpoint along the 
ramp defined by the ramp-function generator.
