7.4.1 Energy-saving Control Function
The energy-saving control function is enabled when the energy-saving command (setting 63) has been set
in a multi-function input (H1-01 through H1-06). Inputting the energy-saving command while there is a
light load causes the Inverter’s output voltage to be reduced and saves energy. Turn OFF the energy-saving
command when a normal load is added.

Constant b8-01 determines the Inverter’s output voltage when the energy-saving command is input.
Set this value as a percentage of the V/f pattern’s voltage.

Constant L2-04 (the voltage recovery time) determines the rate at which the output voltage is changed
when the energy-saving command is turned ON or OFF.

The energy-saving command is enabled only when the frequency reference is above the energy-saving
frequency and the motor speed is within the “speed agree” range.

7.4.2 Hunting-prevention Function
The hunting-prevention function suppresses hunting when the motor is operating with a light load. This
function is valid with V/f control and V/f with PG feedback control.
