7000 “C” Frame

7000L-UM300I-EN-P – June 2013

The PowerFlex 7000L drives have been tested on a dynamometer
to verify performance under locked rotor, accelerating, and low
speed-high torque conditions. Table A-5 below shows the
PowerFlex 7000L drive torque capabilities as a percent of motor
rated torque, independent of the drive’s momentary overload
conditions.

Glossary of Terms

Breakaway Torque:

Torque required to start a machine from standstill.

Accelerating Torque:

Torque required to accelerate a load to a given speed, in a certain
period of time. The following formula may be used to calculate
the average torque to accelerate a known inertia (WK

2

):

T = ( WK

2

change in RPM) / 308t

where, T = acceleration torque in (lb-ft).

WK

2

= total system inertia (lb-ft

2

) that the motor must

accelerate, including motor, gear box, and load.
t = time (seconds) to accelerate total system load.

Steady State Torque:

Continuous operating torque required to control the load, without
instability.

Torque Limit:

An electronic method of limiting the maximum torque available
from the motor.

The software in a drive typically sets the torque limit to 150% of
motor rated torque.
