5.4.2.1 Defining the V/f characteristic shape
In principle, four different characteristic shapes can be stipulated:
1. Linear V/f characteristic:
For drives for a constant, speed-independent load torque.
2. Quadratic V/f characteristic:
For drives with a load torque curve which is quadratic or in relation to speed. Quadratic V/f
characteristics are preferred in the case of centrifugal pumps and fan drives.
3. User-definable V/f characteristic (from version 04.00.00 onwards) :
For drives that require adaptation of the magnetising current by means of the output speed. The
freely definable V/f characteristic can be used e.g. for operation in conjunction with special
machines such as reluctance motors in order to suppress oscillations at the machine or to
optimise energy consumption.

4. Linear V/f characteristic with voltage reduction (from version 10.00.00 onwards) :
For drives which often work in partial load operation, the energy-saving V/f characteristic
control (VFCplusEco) offers the opportunity to reduce the voltage at low load in order to save
energy. At higher loads, the voltage reduction is cancelled and a linear characteristic is caused.
The V/f characteristic shape is defined by selecting the corresponding motor control mode in
