These settings affect the most fundamental behavior of the inverter—the outputs to the motor.
The frequency of the inverter’s AC output determines the motor speed. You may select from
three different sources for the reference speed. During application development you may prefer
using the potentiometer, but you may switch to an external source (control terminal setting) in
the finished application, for example.
The base frequency and maximum frequency settings interact according to the graph below
(left). The inverter output operation follows the constant V/f curve until it reaches the full-scale
output voltage. This initial straight line is the constant-torque part of the operating characteris-
tic. The horizontal line over to the maximum frequency serves to let the motor run faster, but at
a reduced torque. This is the constant-horsepower part of the characteristic. If you want the
motor to output constant torque over its entire operating range (limited to the motor nameplate
voltage and frequency rating), then set the base frequency and maximum frequency equal as
shown (below right).
NOTE: The “2nd motor” settings in the tables in this chapter store an alternate set of parame-
ters for additional motors. The inverter can use the 1st or 2nd set of parameters to generate the
output frequency to the motor.
See “Configuring the Inverter for Multiple Motors” on page 4–59.
