5.2.5 OL(
n
base
) < OL(
n
max
) for constant power load
It is possible to set the overload at base speed smaller than the overload at max speed, i.e. OL(
n
base
)
< OL(
n
max
).
This can be useful when selecting the correct motor and AC drive for constant power drives where
the relative OL requirement is higher at maximum speed than the relative OL requirement at base
speed.
The benefit from this can be the possibility to use a size smaller AC drive.
