Rockwell Automation 7000L PowerFlex Medium Voltage AC Drive (C Frame) - Classic Control - Manual (Page 543)

Catalog Number Explanation – Drive Selection A-7
7000 “C” Frame 7000L-UM300I-EN-P – June 2013
The PowerFlex 7000L drives have been tested on a dynamometer
to verify performance under locked rotor, accelerating, and low
speed-high torque conditions. Table A-5 below shows the
PowerFlex 7000L drive torque capabilities as a percent of motor
rated torque, independent of the drive’s momentary overload
conditions.

Glossary of Terms
Breakaway Torque:
Torque required to start a machine from standstill.
Accelerating Torque:
Torque required to accelerate a load to a given speed, in a certain
period of time. The following formula may be used to calculate
the average torque to accelerate a known inertia (WK
2 ):
T = ( WK
2 
change in RPM) / 308t
where, T = acceleration torque in (lb-ft).
WK 2 = total system inertia (lb-ft 2 ) that the motor must
accelerate, including motor, gear box, and load.
t = time (seconds) to accelerate total system load.
Steady State Torque:
Continuous operating torque required to control the load, without
instability.
Torque Limit:
An electronic method of limiting the maximum torque available
from the motor.
The software in a drive typically sets the torque limit to 150% of
motor rated torque.
