Checkpoint
A countermeasure is provided for an
overload operation.
The specifications and rating match
the system requirements.
Countermeasures are taken against
electrical corrosion on the motor
bearing.
Countermeasure
When performing frequent starts/stops by the inverter, rise/fall in the
temperature of the transistor element of the inverter will repeat due to a
repeated flow of large current, shortening the life from thermal fatigue. Since
thermal fatigue is related to the amount of current, the life can be increased
by reducing current at locked condition, starting current, etc. Reducing
current may extend the service life but may also cause torque shortage,
which leads to a start failure. Adding a margin to the current can eliminate
such a condition. For an induction motor, use the inverter and the converter
unit of a higher capacity (up to two ranks). For a PM motor, use the inverter
and the converter unit, and PM motor of higher capacities.
Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements. -
When a motor is driven by the inverter, axial voltage is generated on the
motor bearing, which may cause electrical corrosion of the bearing in rare
cases depending on: condition of the grease used for the bearing, wiring,
load, operating conditions of the motor, or specific inverter settings (high
carrier frequency, EMC filter ON).
Contact your sales representative to take appropriate countermeasures for
the motor.
The following shows examples of countermeasures for the inverter.
• Decrease the carrier frequency.
• Turn OFF the EMC filter.
• Provide a common mode choke
effective regardless of the EMC filter ON/OFF connector setting.)
Recommended common mode choke: FT-3KM F series FINEMET
