2.2.3.2 MAXIMUM MOTOR TORQUE LIMIT
The induction motor has a maximum torque that depends on its construction characteristics.
The graph below illustrates the progress of a torque curve according to speed with the motor
powered by a constant frequency (Ns). The same graph can also be referred to when an inverter is
used, reading it as torque delivered according to slip, i.e. the difference between the rotation speed of
the electrical values and the rotor (Ns – N in the graph).
The graph illustrates how the delivered torque increases according to slip up to a certain point
represented by the maximum motor torque. If the maximum torque is exceeded, control is lost in that
the torque decreases even when the current is increased.
