6.8.1 Flying restart – switching on while the motor is running
If you switch on the motor while it is still rotating, without the "Flying restart" function, there is
a high probability that a fault will occur as a result of overcurrent (F30001 or F07801). Examples
of applications involving an unintentionally rotating motor directly before switching on:
● The motor rotates after a brief line interruption.
● A flow of air turns the fan impeller.
● A load with a high moment of inertia drives the motor.
Principle of operation
The "Flying restart" function comprises the following steps:
1. After the on command, the converter impresses the search current in the motor and
increases the output frequency.
2. When the output frequency reaches the actual motor speed, the converter waits for the
motor excitation build up time.
3. The converter accelerates the motor to the actual speed setpoint.
