Typical applications for voltage ramps
The voltage ramp function principle is suitable for any type of application.
If test runs are carried out using motors that are smaller than those used in 
actual applications, we recommend using the "Voltage ramp" starting mode.
For machines requiring a breakaway pulse (inverse load response, e.g. in mills 
or crushers), the breakaway pulse must be set as described in Chapter 6.2.3 
"Breakaway Pulse in Combination with Voltage Ramp or Torque Control Starting 
Mode". The "voltage ramp+current limiting (U+current limiting)" starting mode is 
recommended for heavy starting.
