Variable Maximums applied to the current limits
The variable maximums applied to the current limit parameters are VM_MOTOR1_CURRENT_LIMIT for motor map 1 and
VM_MOTOR2_CURRENT_LIMIT for motor map 2. The calculations given below are used in each drive mode to define
VM_MOTOR1_CURRENT_LIMIT. Similar calculations based on the equivalent motor map 2 parameters are be used to define
VM_MOTOR2_CURRENT_LIMIT.
The diagram shows a motor operating with a current equal to I
motor currents are defined for rated conditions as follows.
I = Rated Current (05.007)
Rated
cos φ = Rated Power Factor (05.010)
The angle between the total current vector and the torque producing current (cos φ) is assumed to be equivalent to the power factor. The power factor
is really the angle between the voltage and current vectors. Normally for Open-loop operation the difference between the power factor and cos f is small
and can be neglected. Therefore

Current Magnitude (04.001) is the instantaneous drive output current scaled so that it represents the r.m.s. phase current in Amps under steady state
conditions.
