Geared Motor

Make sure that the gear and the lubricant are rated for the desired speed range to avoid gear damage when operating at low

speeds or very high speeds. Consult with the manufacturer for applications that require operation outside the rated speed range

of the motor or gear box.

Single-Phase Motor

Variable speed drives are not designed to operate with single phase motors. Using capacitors to start the motor causes excessive

current to flow and can damage drive components. A split-phase start or a repulsion start can burn out the starter coils because

the internal centrifugal switch is not activated. The drive is for use with three-phase motors only.

Motor with Brake

Take caution when using the drive to operate a motor with a built-in holding brake. If the brake is connected to the output side

of the drive, it may not release at start due to low voltage levels, so be sure to install a separate power supply for the motor

brake. Note that motors with built-in brakes tend to generate a fair amount of noise when running at low speeds.
