Active eciency optimization has the following advantages:
• Lower energy costs
• Lower motor temperature rise
• Lower motor noise levels
Active eciency optimization has the following disadvantage:
• Longer acceleration times and more signicant speed dips during torque surges.
The disadvantage is only relevant when the motor must satisfy high requirements relating
to the dynamic performance. Even when eciency optimization is active, the converter
closed-loop motor control prevents the motor from stalling.
Precondition
Eciency optimization functions under the following preconditions:
• Operation with an asynchronous motor
• Vector control is set in the converter.

The three variables that the converter can directly set, which dene eciency of an
asynchronous motor, are speed, torque and ux.
However, in all applications, speed and torque are specied by the driven machine. As a
consequence, the remaining variable for the eciency optimization is the ux.
The converter has two dierent methods of optimizing the eciency.
Eciency optimization, method 2
Generally, energy eciency optimization method2 achieves a better eciency than
method1.
We recommend that you set method2.
