The Output Power (05.003) is the power flowing via the a.c. terminals of the drive. The power is derived as the dot product of the output voltage and current vectors, and so this is correct even if the motor parameters are incorrect and the motor model does not align the reference frame with the flux axis of a motor in RFC-A mode. For Open-loop, RFC-A and RFC-S modes a positive value of power indicates power flowing from the drive to motor. For Regen mode a positive value of power indicates power flowing from the supply to the regen drive.

If Enable Frequency Slaving (03.013) = 0 (normal operation) the frequency used to derive the Motor Rpm (05.004) is the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). If Enable Frequency Slaving (03.013) = 1 (frequency slaving operation) the Frequency Slaving Demand (03.001) is used.
Motor Rpm (05.004) = 60 x Frequency / Pole pairs
where
Pole pairs = the numeric value of Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) (i.e. 3 for a 6 pole motor)
For frequency slaving operation there will be an error due to the motor slip frequency. For normal operation the result will be reasonably accurate provided that the slip compensation has been set up correctly.

Rated Frequency (05.006) and Rated Voltage (05.009) define the frequency to voltage characteristic applied to the motor. See Open-loop Control Mode (05.014) for more details. Rated Frequency (05.006), Rated Speed (05.008) and Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) are used to calculate the rated slip of the motor for slip compensation.
Rated slip (Hz) = Rated Frequency (05.006) - (Pole pairs x Rated Speed (05.008) / 60)
where
Pole pairs = the numeric value of Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) (i.e. 3 for a 6 pole motor)
If slip compensation is required Rated Speed (05.008) should be set to the motor nameplate value, which should give the correct compensation for a hot motor provide the nameplate value is correct. Slip compensation can be used throughout the speed range of the motor, i.e. below base speed and in the flux weakening region, to correct the motor speed to minimise the change of speed with load. Rated Speed (05.008) can be set to a value that is higher than synchronous speed to deliberately introduce speed droop, which can be used to aid load sharing with mechanically coupled motors.
Slip compensation is disabled under the following conditions:
1. Rated Speed (05.008) = 0
2. Rated Speed (05.008) = Rated Frequency (05.006) x 60 / Pole pairs, i.e. synchronous speed.
3. Enable Slip Compensation (05.027) = 0
It should be noted that Rated Speed (05.008) is used to calculate the rotor time constant of the motor which is then used to determine the flux build-up time at the start of the catch a spinning motor algorithm. If spinning start is required (i.e. Catch A Spinning Motor (06.009) ≥ 1) then Rated Speed (05.008) should be set up correctly for the motor. If slip compensation is not required it can be disabled by setting Enable Slip Compensation (05.027) to 0.
It is possible to use the drive as a power supply with independent control of output voltage and frequency. The frequency is controlled with the normal frequency reference system and the voltage is controlled with Rated Voltage (05.009). To do this Rated Frequency (05.006) must be set to zero. However, Rated Frequency (05.006) is used in calculating the rated slip above rated frequency which would result in a very high slip frequency. To avoid this slip compensation is disabled if Rated Frequency (05.006) = 0.

Rated Power Factor (05.010) is the true power factor of the motor under rated conditions, i.e. the cosine of the angle between the motor voltage and current. If Stator Inductance (05.025) is set to a non-zero value then the stator inductance is used to calculate the rated magnetising current for the motor and the rated power factor can be calculated by the drive. Therefore if Stator Inductance (05.025) is non-zero Rated Power Factor (05.010) is continuously set to the calculated value of rated power factor by the drive. If Stator Inductance (05.025) is set to zero then Rated Power Factor (05.010) is used to estimate the rated magnetising current which is an approximation and not as accurate. Stator Inductance (05.025) can be measured by the drive during auto-tuning and this is the preferred option, however, if it is not possible to obtain the value for Stator Inductance (05.025) then Rated Power Factor (05.010) should be set to the motor nameplate value.

*Torque feedback is provided in Percentage Torque (04.026). The estimated value can be improved by setting up the No-load Core Loss (04.045) and Rated Core Loss (04.046) for the motor. It should be noted that the core loss characteristic for a motor is complex and depends to some extent on the switching frequency, but the drive can include an approximation to the core losses based on these two parameters. The value for the no-load core losses measured by the auto-tuning is likely to be higher than the actual value, but can be used to significantly reduce the difference that will be seen in the estimate torque between motoring and regenerating operation. If more accurate core loss compensation is required No-load Core Loss (04.045) and Rated Core Loss (04.046) must be set up based on testing the motor using a torque transducer.

Dynamic V to F mode is intended for applications where power loss should be kept to a minimum under low load conditions, but dynamic performance is not important. The reduction in power loss under low load conditions is achieved by increasing the rated frequency used to derive the frequency to voltage characteristic of the drive with reduced load. If Dynamic V To F Select (05.013) = 0 then Rated Frequency (05.006) is used directly to define the output voltage characteristic. If Dynamic V To F Select (05.013) = 1 then a modified value of rated frequency is used when |Percentage Load (04.020)|
rated frequency = Rated Frequency (05.006) x [2 - |Percentage Load (04.020)| / 70.0%]
For higher load levels Rated Frequency (05.006) is used directly.

Open-loop Control Mode (05.014) defines the drive output mode, which can either be a voltage mode or a current mode as given below. It should be noted that the maximum output voltage of the drive is limited to a level just below D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005) / √2. Therefore, if the drive is being supplied via its own rectifier input stage the output voltage is limited to a level just below that of the supply voltage. If the drive is operating in voltage mode the output voltage is limited to Rated Voltage (05.009) or the maximum possible output voltage whichever is the lowest. (If Quasi-square Enable (05.020) = 1 the maximum possible output voltage can be increased. See Quasi-square Enable (05.020) for details.)
0: Ur S (Resistance compensation, stator resistance measured at each start)
Resistance compensation is a form of stator flux oriented sensorless motor control. A linear frequency to voltage characteristic is used where the drive output voltage is increased from 0V to Rated Voltage (05.009). as the |Output Frequency (05.001)| increases from 0Hz to Rated Frequency (05.006). When the |Output Frequency (05.001)| is above Rated Frequency (05.006) the output voltage is limited to Rated Voltage (05.009). Vector based stator resistance compensation is applied below Rated Frequency (05.006)/4 and then this is tapered out from Rated Frequency (05.006)/4 to Rated Frequency (05.006)/2. This method controls the flux level correctly in the motor in the steady state provided the correct value of Stator Resistance (05.017) is used.
The Stator Resistance (05.017) is measured each time the drive is started. This test can only be done with a stationary motor where the flux has decayed to zero. Therefore this mode should only be used if the motor is guaranteed to be stationary each time the drive is enabled. To ensure that the measurement is not carried out before the flux has decayed, there is a period of one second after the inverter has been disabled during which the test is not carried out if the drive is re-started. The Stator Resistance (05.017) is not automatically saved in non-volatile memory after each test.
1: Ur (Resistance compensation with no stator resistance measurement)
Resistance compensation is used as in Ur S mode, but the Stator Resistance (05.017) is not measured.
2: Fixed (Fixed boost with linear characteristic)
A fixed frequency to voltage characteristic is used as shown below where the voltage at 0Hz is defined by Low Frequency Voltage Boost (05.015).
3: Ur Auto (Resistance compensation, stator resistance measured on first start)
Resistance compensation is used as in Ur S mode, but the Stator Resistance (05.017) is only measured once when the drive is first enabled. After the test has been completed successfully the mode is changed to Ur mode and Stator Resistance (05.017) is saved to non-volatile memory. If Parameter Cloning (11.042) is set to 3 or 4 the Stator Resistance (05.017) is also written to a non-volatile media card fitted in the drive. If the test fails the mode is changed to Ur mode, but Stator Resistance (05.017) is not updated.
4: Ur I (Resistance compensation, stator resistance measured at power-up)
Resistance compensation is used as in Ur S mode, but the Stator Resistance (05.017) is only measured when the drive is enabled for the first time after each power-up.
5: Square (Fixed boost with square characteristic)
A fixed square frequency to voltage characteristic is used as shown below. When the |Output Frequency (05.001)| is below Rated Frequency (05.006) the Output Voltage (05.002) is given by:
Output Voltage (05.002) = Low Frequency Voltage Boost (05.015) + [Rated Voltage (05.009) - Low Frequency Voltage Boost (05.015)] x (Output Frequency (05.001) / Rated Frequency (05.006))2]
6: Current 1P (Single phase current output)
If this mode is selected it overrides all the normal control system for Open-loop mode and is used to produce a single phase square wave current output using the system shown below.
The load should be connected between the U and V phases as shown. The drive attempts to produces a square wave of output current at the frequency defined by the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). The magnitude of the current is controlled by the Torque Reference (04.008) as a percentage of the Rated Current (05.007). Iq, Torque Producing Current (04.002) shows the magnitude of the output current, which for a square wave is the same as the r.m.s. value of current. The following should be noted about this control mode:
1. Id, Magnetising Current (04.017) remains at zero, and Current Magnitude (04.001) = Iq, Torque Producing Current (04.002).
2. Output Power (05.003) shows the correct magnitude of output power flowing from the drive, but this will always be positive whatever the phase relationship between the output current and voltage.
3. The maximum possible output voltage from the drive is a square wave with a magnitude approximately equal to the D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005).
4. High performance current controller mode is used and the current controller gains should be set up based on the load impedance for this mode as defined in the description of Current Controller Kp Gain (04.013) for RFC-A and RFC-S modes.
5. The drive thermal model will provide protection for the drive as though the output frequency is 0Hz whatever the value of the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). This should be taken into account because the thermal capabilities of the drive in this mode are the same as other modes when the motor is at standstill.

Rs = R1
Lm = Lm
Ls = L1 + Lm
Lr = L2 + Lm
σLs = Ls - (Lm2 / Lr)

Maximum Switching Frequency (05.018) should be set to the required PWM switching frequency. The drive inverter will operate at this frequency unless the inverter temperature becomes too hot. Under these conditions the drive will reduce the switching frequency in an attempt to avoid tripping (see Auto-switching Frequency Change (05.035) ). The actual switching frequency is shown in Switching Frequency (05.037). The switching frequency has a direct effect on the sample rate for the current controllers (see Current Controller Kp Gain (04.013)). All other control tasks are at a fixed rate.

If Quasi-square Enable (05.020) = 0 then the output of the drive is limited to a modulation index of unity, which limits the output voltage to a level just below D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005) / √2. Therefore, if the drive is being supplied via its own rectifier input stage the output voltage is limited to a level just below that of the supply voltage or Rated Voltage (05.009) whichever is lower.
If Quasi-square Enable (05.020) = 1 then the limit imposed by Quasi-square Enable (05.020) is ignored and the modulation index is allowed to increase beyond unity. As the output voltage increases the output voltage changes through trapezoidal waveforms to a quasi-square wave output. This mode is useful where the ratio between the switching frequency and the fundamental output frequency is less than 12, as it removes any sub-harmonic effects that occur. However, it does produce significant multiple odd harmonics of the output frequency in the output currents which cause acoustic noise, torque ripple and motor heating.

The drive inverter can be damaged if the temperature is too high. The inverter can also be damaged or the lifetime of the power devices reduced, if the temperature ripple of the devices is too high. Auto-switching Frequency Change (05.035) defines the action taken if the drive inverter becomes too hot or the temperature ripple becomes too high.
Enabled:
If the inverter becomes too hot or the ripple temperature is higher than the level defined by Maximum Inverter Temperature Ripple (05.039) the switching frequency is reduced in an attempt to prevent tripping.
Disabled:
The switching frequency is not reduced, and so the drive will trip if the inverter is too hot or the temperature ripple is too high.
No Ripple Detect:
The switching frequency is reduced if the inverter temperature, but not the temperature ripple is too high. If the temperature ripple exceeds the level defined by Maximum Inverter Temperature Ripple (05.039) then the drive will trip.
The switching frequency is changed in steps defined by Auto-switching Frequency Step Size (05.036). For example with a switching frequency of 16kHz and a step size of two, the frequency will be reduced to 8kHz, then 4kHz etc. Minimum Switching Frequency (05.038) defines the minimum switching frequency that the system will attempt to use. If the switching frequency needs to switch to a lower level, then the drive will trip. If Minimum Switching Frequency is changed the new value will only become active when Switching Frequency is at or above the minimum value.

Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) shows the stator resistance from the active motor that is being used by the drive for motor control. If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 0 and motor 1 is selected then Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) is equal to Stator Resistance (05.017). If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1 the value of Stator Resistance (05.017) is not changed, but Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) is derived as follows:
α = Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047) and this is the temperature coefficient for the stator winding at 20oC as a proportion of the resistance per degree C.
Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) = Stator Resistance (05.017) x [1 + (Stator Temperature (05.046) – 20oC) x α] / [1 + (Stator Base Temperature (05.048) - 20oC) x α]
Stator Resistance (05.017) and Stator Base Temperature (05.048) can be set up by the user with the stator resistance at a given temperature. The preferred method is for the Stator Resistance (05.017) to be measured and set up using the auto-tuning system (See Auto-tune (05.012)). If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1 when the auto-tuning is carried out the Stator Base Temperature (05.048) will be updated automatically with Stator Temperature (05.046).
The temperature compensation system can only function correctly if the Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047) is set up correctly. The default value is suitable for copper or aluminium windings and should not need to be adjusted for these materials provided the temperature measurement is a reasonable measure of the winding temperature. If the temperature measurement is not closely coupled to the winding it may be necessary to adjust Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047) for correct compensation.

The rotor temperature can be used to compensate for changes in rotor resistance that affects the motor slip and hence the rated speed in Open-loop or RFC-A mode, or the magnet flux that affects motor torque in RFC-S mode.

The slip of an induction motor is proportional to the rotor resistance, and so as the motor becomes hotter the slip increases. Therefore the rated speed used to derive the slip compensation should be changed with rotor temperature to remove the motor speed variation caused by the change of rotor temperature. Temperature compensated rated speed (05.057) shows the rated speed from the active motor that is used to derive the slip compensation. If Enable Rotor Compensation (05.056) = 0 and motor 1 is selected (i.e. Motor 2 Active (21.015) = 0) then Temperature compensated rated speed (05.057) is equal to Rated Speed (05.008) and the rated slip used for slip compensation is based on Rated Frequency (05.006) and Rated Speed (05.008). If Enable Rotor Compensation (05.056) = 1 then Temperature compensated rated speed (05.057) is calculated as follows:
Uncompensated Rated Slip = Synchronous Speed - Rated Speed (05.008) = (Rated Frequency (05.006) x 60 / Number Of Motor Poles (05.011)) - Rated Speed (05.008)
α = Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054) and this is the rotor winding temperature coefficient at 20oC as a proportion of the resistance per degree C.
Compensated Rated Slip = Uncompensated Rated Slip x [1 + (Rotor Temperature (05.053) - 20oC) x α] / [1 + (Rotor Base Temperature (05.055) - 20oC) x α]
Temperature compensated rated speed (05.057) = (Rated Frequency (05.006) x 60 / Number Of Motor Poles (05.011)) - Compensated Rated Slip
Rated Speed (05.008) should be the rated speed of the motor with Rotor Temperature (05.053) equal to Rotor Base Temperature (05.055). These values should be set up by the user. It is likely that the available temperature measurement will give the temperature of the stator windings. The default value of Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054) is the temperature coefficient for aluminium or copper at 20oC as one of these materials is normally used for the rotor bars of an induction motor. However, if the thermal coupling between the rotor and the temperature measuring device is poor it may be necessary to adjust Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054) to give better compensation.

Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) is the deadtime compensation used to compensate for dead-time effects in the inverter. This level of compensation is used when the drive output current is above Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060). Both of these values related to dead-time compensation are measured during auto-tuning and cannot be set by the user. It should be noted that if the auto-tuning test is not performed and Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) = 0 then a factory defined value is used for dead-time compensation. Although it is not recommended, it is possible to disable dead-time compensation by setting Disable Deadtime Compensation (05.061) = 1.
