12. Confirm that the commutation inductance is set to the correct
value by increasing the horizontal and vertical magnification and 
observing the zero crossing of reconstructed voltage FAB1. 
Because the line converter firing angle is about 90 degrees, the 
commutation notch occurs near the zero crossing of the 
reconstructed voltage. The signal should be a straight line 
through the zero crossing with almost no visible distortion. 
Either increasing or decreasing parameter “ L Commutation“ 
should cause the distortion to increase. 
 
 
13. Stop the drive. Set parameters “Operating mode” to normal and
"Idc command test" to zero.
 
 
2. Current Regulator
The tuning of the current regulator is controlled by three parameters 
– two in the “Current Control" group, and one in the “Drive 
Hardware” group: 
 
 
1. “Curreg bandwidth”
2. "T dc link"
3. "L dc link”
 
 
Of these three parameters, inductance “L dc link“ is calculated from 
its nameplate rating, the current regulator bandwidth should be set to 
its default value of 200 rad/sec, and only “T dc link” is unknown 
and must be measured. Although the current regulator was tuned 
during factory test, it should be retuned during commissioning 
because the dc link time constant is affected by the impedance of the 
drive input transformer. 
 
 
Current Regulator Autotuning
 
 
The current regulator can be tuned automatically using the following 
procedure: 
 
 
1. Ensure that the parameters in the "Drive Hardware" and "Motor
Ratings" groups have been set to the correct values. Otherwise, 
the calculated value of parameter "L dc link" in "Current Control" 
will not be correct. 
 
 
2. Set parameter "Autotune select" in "Autotuning" to Current Reg.
The drive will go into dc current test mode. The current regulator 
bandwidth is temporarily set to the value specified by parameter 
"Autotune Idc BW”. The dc current command is set to the value 
specified by parameter "Autotune Idc cmd". The dc current step is 
set to the value specified by parameter "Autotune Idc stp".
