B-3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor
Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the following
precautions:
1. The energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.
2. Avoid running motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor temperature
may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the motor’s fan. Consider
external forced motor cooling.
3. When the standard motor operates at low speed for long time, the output load must be
decreased.
4. The load tolerance of a standard motor is as follows:
3 6 20 60
100
82
70

5. If 100% continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special inverter
duty motor.
6. Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered once the operating speed
exceeds the rated speed (60Hz) of a standard motor.
7. Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power supply
drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be connected.
8. Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to the
following motor vibration problems:
„ Resonant mechanical vibration: anti-vibration (damping) rubbers should be used to
mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
„ Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 50 or 60 Hz and higher
frequency.
„ To avoid resonances, use the Skip frequencies.
9. The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.
