The converter compensates for the
voltage drops across the stator re‐
sistance. Recommended for mo‐
tors less than 7.5kW.

If the speed setpoint is reached and
remains unchanged for 5 seconds,
then the converter reduces its out‐
put voltage.
As a consequence, the ECO mode
saves energy with respect to the
parabolic characteristic.

duces the output voltage, but not
