Motor Application Precautions10- 910Motor Application PrecautionsThis section provides precautions for motor application. Using the Inverter for an Existing Standard MotorWhen a standard motor is operated with the Inverter, power loss is slightly higher than when operated with acommercial power supply. Observe the following precautions when using an Inverter for an existing standardmotor.Low Speed RangesCooling effects diminish in the low-speed range, resulting in an increase in the motor temperature. Therefore,the motor torque should be reduced in the low-speed range whenever using a motor not made by Yaskawa. If100% torque is required continuously at low speed, consider using a special Inverter or vector motor.Installation Withstand VoltageIf the input voltage is high (440 V or higher) or the wiring distance is long, the motor insulation voltage mustbe considered. Contact your Yaskawa representative for details.High-speed OperationWhen using the motor at a high speed (60 Hz or more), problems may arise in dynamic balance and bearingdurability. Contact your Yaskawa representative for details.Torque CharacteristicsThe motor may require more acceleration torque when the motor is operated with the Inverter than when oper-ated with a commercial power supply. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be used with themotor to set a proper V/f pattern.VibrationThe Inverter uses a high carrier PWM to reduce motor vibration. (A constant can be set to select low carrier,PWM modulation control as well.) The factory setting of the Inverter with SPEC: C or earlier is for a high car-rier PWM and the one with SPEC: E or later is for a low carrier PWM. When the motor is operated with theInverter that uses a high carrier PWM, motor vibration is almost the same as when operated with a commercialpower supply.Motor vibration may, however, become greater in the following cases.Resonance with the Natural Frequency of the Mechanical SystemTake special care when a machine that has been operated at a constant speed is to be operated in variable speedmode. If resonance occurs, install vibration-proof rubber on the motor base or use the frequency jump functionto skip any frequency resonating the machine.Imbalanced RotorTake special care when the motor is operated at a higher speed (60 Hz or more).
