Overload capability of the inverter
Overload capability is the property of the inverter to temporarily supply a current that is
higher than the rated current to accelerate a load. Two typical load cycles are defined to
clearly demonstrate the overload capability: "Low Overload" and "High Overload"
Table 10- 1
The "Low Overload" load cycle assumes a uni-
form base load with low requirements placed on
brief accelerating p phases. Typical applications
when designing according to "Low Overload"
include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Definitions
● Base load
Constant load between the accelerating phases of the drive
•
•
•
If not specified otherwise, the power and current data in the technical data always refer to a
load cycle according to Low Overload.
We recommend the "SIZER" engineering software to select the inverter. You will find
