Vibration
(common)
Since the inverters use a high-carrier frequency sine-wave
PWM control, the vibration of the motor is small. As
compared to that of the motor driven with the commercial
power supply, however, the vibration of the motor installed
to a machine may be slightly larger. The possible causes of
vibration are as follows.
1) Vibration due to mechanical imbalance of the
rotating body including motor rotor and load
Vibration happens by mechanical imbalance, which is
caused by rotating body itself or connecting parts with
the machine (runner, pulley).
When performing high-speed operation by an inverter,
natural frequency of rotating body comes close to the
operating frequency, and that increases vibration.
*1 Note that operation range is limited.
2) Vibration due to torsional natural vibration consist
of motor rotor and load matching the cogging
torque frequency (= mechanical resonance with
natural vibration).
Harmonic components of the inverter output generates
cogging torque, and that cogging torque causes
vibration. When torsional natural vibration and cogging
torque frequency matches, resonance occurs, applying
larger torque to the axis.
*2 Setting PWM frequency higher causes EMI noise and leak current to
increase. Setting PWM frequency lower causes acoustic motor noise
to increase.
3) Vibration due to complex combination of mechanic
element, which includes motor rotor and load, and
electric element, which consists of motor and
inverter.
Electrical vibration element, which is caused by inverter
control and motor slip, and mechanical vibration
element, which is caused by load including motor rotor,
combines and causes several resonance points. When
this happens, large torque is applied to the axis in wide
operating frequency range. Physical vibration by
mechanical and electrical elements happens as follow:
rotation speed of load changes suddenly (decelerates/
accelerates)
→
motor slip amount changes suddenly
(increase/decrease)
→
motor torque occurs
(accelerate/decelerate)
→
continued.
*3 Take caution as output torque and speed may decrease.
Also, when vibration is exceptionally large, inverter's
protective function (E.OC 1 to 3 and E.OV 1 to 3) may
occur.
In some cases, low vibration motor (refer to page 496)
creates desirable effect.

Inverter detects torque
fluctuation (including motor
rotor) in the mechanical system
and adjusts inverter's operation
frequency so that it will not be
affected by the mechanical
vibration,. This results in the
operation without resonance.

(adjust [

Motor slip is increased to
reduce torque fluctuation for
the speed fluctuation. In that
condition, inverter is less likely
to be affected by mechanic
vibration, and resonance is
avoided.
