Universal variable speed ac drive for induction and servo motors
When the flux in the motor is reduced below its rated level the level of torque producing current required for a given amount of shaft torque is higher
than the rated level. In speed control the compensation prevents gain reduction at higher speeds. In torque control the compensation maintains the
torque at the correct level for a given torque demand. In some applications using speed control it may be desirable to have a reduction of gain as the
motor flux is reduced to maintain stability. If this is required Pr 5.28 should be set to one. It should be noted that although field weakening is possible
in servo mode, gain compensation is not applied in this mode.

Background read
The rated level of flux in most induction motors causes saturation. Therefore the flux against flux producing current characteristic is non-linear. The
effects of saturation are to cause a step increase in torque when operating in torque mode as the speed increases into the field weakening region.
The drive can include the effects of saturation by representing the flux producing current to flux characteristic as a series of three lines as shown
below:
flux (%)
100%
Pr 5.30
Pr 5.29
50
If Pr 5.29 and Pr 5.30 have their default values of 50 and 75, the characteristic becomes one line and there will be a linear relationship between the
drive estimate of flux and the flux producing current. If Pr 5.29 and Pr 5.30 are increased above 50 and 75 the drive estimate of flux can include the
effect of saturation. It is unlikely that information will be available to set up these parameters, and so the values are determined during the rotating
