An improved current measurement function has been 
developed for our MICROMASTER drive inverters. This 
permits the output current to be precisely determined referred 
to the motor voltage. This measurement guarantees that the 
output current is sub-divided into a load component and a flux 
component. Using this sub-division, the motor flux can be 
controlled and can be appropriately adapted and optimized 
in-line with the prevailing conditions.  
FCC operation is only activated after the FCC starting 
frequency P1333 has been exceeded. The FCC starting frequency P1333 is 
entered as a percentage to the rated motor frequency P0310. For a rated motor 
frequency of 50 Hz and a factory setting of P1333 = 10 %, this results in an FCC 
starting frequency of 5 Hz. The FCC starting frequency may not be selected too 
low as this has a negative impact on the control characteristics and can result in 
oscillation and system instability.  
The "V/f with FCC" control type (P1300 = 1) has proven itself in many applications. 
It has the following advantages with respect to the standard V/f control: 
¾  Higher motor efficiency 
¾  Improved stabilizing characteristics 
♦  →  higher dynamic response  
♦  →  improved behavior to disturbances / control  
NOTE 
Contrary to closed-loop vector control with / without speed encoder (VC / SLVC), 
for the V/f open-loop control mode with FCC, it is not possible to specifically 
influence the motor torque. This is the reason that it isn’t always possible to avoid 
the motor stalling – even when using "V/f with FCC". 
An improvement in the stabilizing behavior and in the motor efficiency can be 
expected when using the closed-loop vector control with / without speed encoder 
when compared to V/f control with FCC.
