Figure i.2 Allowable Load Characteristics for a Yaskawa Motor
Insulation Tolerance
NOTICE: Consider motor voltage tolerance levels and motor insulation in applications with an input voltage of over 440 V or particularly
long wiring distances.
High-Speed Operation
NOTICE: Problems may occur with the motor bearings and dynamic balance of the machine when operating a motor beyond its rated speed.
Contact the motor or machine manufacturer.
Torque Characteristics
Torque characteristics differ compared to operating the motor directly from line power. The user should have a full
understanding of the load torque characteristics for the application.
Vibration and Shock
The drive allows selection of high carrier PWM control and low carrier PWM. Selecting high carrier PWM can help reduce
motor oscillation (drive current derating may be required).
Take particular caution when adding a variable speed drive to an application running a motor from line power at a constant
speed. If resonance occurs, use shock absorbing mounts to the motor base and enable the Jump frequency selection to prevent
continuous operation in the resonant frequency range.
Audible Noise
The audible noise of the motor varies based on the carrier frequency setting. However, drive current derating may be required.
When using a high carrier frequency, audible noise from the motor is comparable to the motor noise generated when running
from line power.
n Specialized Motors
Multi-Pole Motor
Because the rated current will differ from a standard motor, be sure to check the maximum current when selecting a drive.
Always stop the motor before switching between the number of motor poles. If a regen overvoltage (oV) fault occurs or if
overcurrent protection (oC) is triggered, the motor will coast to stop.
Submersible Motor
The rated current of a submersible motor is greater than that of a standard motor, so select the drive accordingly. Use a motor
cable large enough to avoid decreasing the maximum torque level from voltage drop caused by a long motor cable.
Explosion-Proof Motor
The motor and the drive must be tested together to be certified as explosion-proof. The drive is not designed for explosion-
proof areas.
Geared Motor
Make sure that the gear and the lubricant are rated for the desired speed range to avoid gear damage when operating at low
speeds or very high speeds. Consult with the manufacturer for applications that require operation outside the rated speed range
of the motor or gear box.
