4.

If the stall prevention function is activated, the accel./decel. time is automatically extended

to a length that the AC Motor Drive can handle. If the motor needs to decelerate within a

certain time with high load inertia that can’t be handled by the AC Motor Drive in the

required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit, depending on the

model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for both the motor and

the AC Motor Drive.

C.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:

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.
