5.2.3 Dene the load case, calculate the maximum load torque and determine the
motor
The motors are dened bases on the motor type-specic limiting characteristic curves.
The limiting characteristic curves describe the torque or power curve over the speed.
The limiting characteristic curves take the limits of the motor into account on the basis of the DC-
link voltage. The DC-link voltage is dependent on the line voltage.

Procedure
1. Determine the load which is specied by the application.
Use dierent characteristics for the dierent loads.
The following operating scenarios have been dened:
– Duty cycle with constant ON duration
– Free duty cycle
2. Determine the characteristic torque and speed operating points of the motor for the dened
load.
3. Calculate the acceleration torque of the motor.
Add the load torque and the acceleration torque. to obtain the maximum required torque.
4. Verify the maximum motor torque with the limiting characteristic curves of the motors.
The following criteria must be taken into account when selecting the motor:
– Compliance with the dynamic limits
All torque-speed points of the load must be below the relevant limiting characteristic
curve.
– Compliance with the thermal limits
At average speed, the eective motor torque must be below the S1 characteristic
(continuous operation) during the load.
You have specied a motor.
