7. 1-40 Back EMF at 1000 RPM
Enter line to line back EMF of PM Motor at 1000
RPM mechanical speed (RMS value). Back EMF is
the voltage generated by a PM motor when no
drive is connected and the shaft is turned
externally. Back EMF is normally specified for
nominal motor speed or for 1000 RPM measured
between two lines. If the value is not available for
a motor speed of 1000 RPM, calculate the correct
value as follows: If back EMF is e.g. 320 V at 1800
RPM, it can be calculated at 1000 RPM as follows:
Back EMF= (Voltage / RPM)*1000 =
(320/1800)*1000 = 178. This is the value that
must be programmed for 1-40 Back EMF at 1000
RPM
Test Motor Operation
1. Start the motor at low speed (100 to 200 RPM). If
the motor does not turn, check installation,
general programming and motor data.
2. Check if start function in 1-70 PM Start Mode fits
the application requirements.
Rotor detection
This function is the recommended choice for applications
where the motor starts from standstill e.g. pumps or
conveyors. On some motors, an acoustic sound is heard
when the impulse is sent out. This does not harm the
motor.
Parking
This function is the recommended choice for applications
where the motor is rotating at slow speed eg. windmilling
in fan applications. 2-06 Parking Current and 2-07 Parking
Time can be adjusted. Increase the factory setting of these
parameters for applications with high inertia.
Start the motor at nominal speed. In case the application
does not run well, check the VVC plus PM settings.
Recommendations in different applications can be seen in
Table 3.2.

Table 3.2 Recommendations in Different Applications
If the motor starts oscillating at a certain speed, increase
1-14 Damping Gain. Increase the value in small steps.
Depending on the motor, a good value for this parameter
can be 10% or 100% higher than the default value.
Starting torque can be adjusted in 1-66 Min. Current at Low
Speed. 100% provides nominal torque as starting torque.
3.6 Automatic Motor Adaptation
Automatic motor adaptation (AMA) is a test procedure that
measures the electrical characteristics of the motor to
optimize compatibility between the frequency converter
and the motor.
• The frequency converter builds a mathematical
model of the motor for regulating output motor
current. The procedure also tests the input phase
balance of electrical power. It compares the
motor characteristics with the data entered in
parameters 1-20 to 1-25.
• The motor shaft does not turn and no harm is
done to the motor while running the AMA
• Some motors may be unable to run the complete
version of the test. In that case, select [2] Enable
reduced AMA
• If an output filter is connected to the motor,
select Enable reduced AMA
• If warnings or alarms occur, see 8 Warnings and
Alarms
• Run this procedure on a cold motor for best
results
