In a star connection, the motor can provide its
rated torque M
N
in the range 0 … rated fre‐
quency f
N
.
Rated voltage U
N
= 400 V is available at a rated
frequency f
N
= 50 Hz.
The motor goes into eld weakening above the
rated frequency. In eld weakening, the avail‐
able motor torque decreases proportionally
with 1/f. In eld weakening, the available pow‐
er remains constant.

In a delta connection, the motor is oper‐
ated with a voltage and frequency above
its rated values. As a consequence, the
motor power is increased by a factor
√3 ≈ 1.73.
In the range f = 0 … 87 Hz, the motor can
output its rated torque M
N
.
The maximum voltage U = 400 V is avail‐
able at a frequency of f = √3 × 50 Hz ≈
87 Hz.
The motor only goes into eld weakening above 87 Hz.
The higher motor power when operated with an 87 Hz characteristic has the following
disadvantages:
• The converter must supply approximately 1.73x current. Select a converter based on its rated
current - and not its rated power.
• The motor temperature increases more signicantly than when operated with f ≤ 50 Hz.
• The motor must have windings that are approved for a voltage > rated voltage U
N
.
• As the fan impeller rotates faster, the motor has a higher noise level than operation with
f ≤ 50 Hz.
