542 YASKAWA SIEPC71061753C GA500 Technical Manual
• When you use V/f Control, set parameters b8-04 to b8-06.
• When you use vector control with an induction motor, set parameters b8-02 and b8-03.
• When you use a PM motor, set parameters b8-16 and b8-17.
Note:
• Energy-saving control is not appropriate for applications with sudden changes in the load, or applications driving heavy loads such as a
traverse car application.
• Energy-saving control maximizes operation based on precise motor data set to the drive. Make sure that you do Auto-Tuning and enter
the correct information about the motor before you use the Energy-saving control.

Energy Saving Gain
Sets the gain for Energy-saving control.

Energy Saving Coefficient
Value
Sets the Energy-saving control coefficient to maintain maximum motor efficiency. The default
setting is for Yaskawa motors.
Determined by C6-01, E2-
11, and o2-04
(0.00 - 655.00)
When you use a motor from a different manufacturer, increase the setting value in 5% increments to find the
minimum value for U1-08 [Output Power] at light loads.
When you decrease the setting value, it decreases the output voltage and decreases power consumption. If the
setting value is too low, the motor will stall.
Note:
When you do Rotational Auto-Tuning, the drive will automatically set the energy-saving coefficient.
