Star connection of the motor or 87 Hz delta connection
Overview
In the case of a 400‑V power supply, the motor can be operated on the converter in either a star
or a delta connection.
In a star connection, the motor is operated with its rated values.
In a delta connection, the motor is operated with a voltage and frequency above its rated
values.

In a star connection, the motor can be loaded with its rated torque M
frequency f
The rated voltage U
The motor goes into field weakening above the rated frequency. In field weakening, the
available motor torque decreases proportionally with 1/f. In field weakening, the available
power remains constant.
