When using a
two-speed
starter:
• Motor rotation must be the same at slow speed and high speed.
• Single winding motor requires a starter with a shorting contactor.
• Two-winding motor requires a starter without a shorting
contactor.
• All two-speed starters must have a 20 second time delay relay
when switching from high speed to low speed.
• Do not start the motor more than
six
times per hour (each low
speed start and each high speed start count as one start).
When using a VFD:
Before beginning, ensure that the motor is rated for “Inverter Duty”
per NEMA MG-1, part 31.
• Set the VFD solid state overload protection to 119% of motor
nameplate amps and set “maximum current parameter” in the
VFD to motor nameplate amps. “Maximum current parameter” will
reduce fan speed and limit amp draw to nameplate amps during
cold weather operation. If furnished with a mechanical O.L. set this
at 110% over motor nameplate amps.
• Motor rotation must be the same in both VFD mode and By-pass
mode.
• If cable distance between the VFD and motor is greater than 31m a
DV/DT output filter is recommended to avoid damage to the motor.
31m distance is based on our field experience, the VFD manufacture
may state different distances and distance does vary depending
on the VFD manufacture.
• Program the VFD for variable torque output. Flux vector and con-
stant torque modes may damage the gearbox.
• Do not start and stop the motor using the safety switch at the motor.
If the drive is being commanded to run and the load side is cycled
ON and OFF with the safety switch this may damage the VFD.
Using a VFD in cooling applications has advantages over traditional single
or two speed motor control. A VFD can reduce the cost of electrical en-
ergy being used and provide better temperature control. In addition, it
reduces the mechanical and electrical stress on the motor and mechanical
equipment. Electrical savings can be large during periods of low ambient
temperature when the cooling requirement can be satisfied at reduced
