(1) Calculating the load torque during constant speed running (For detailed calculation,
refer to Section 3.1.3.1)
It is essential to calculate the load torque during constant speed running for all loads.
First calculate the load torque of the motor during constant speed running and then select a
tentative capacity so that the continuous rated torque of the motor during constant speed running
becomes higher than the load torque. To perform capacity selection efficiently, it is necessary to
match the rated speeds (base speeds) of the motor and load. To do this, select an appropriate
reduction-gear (mechanical transmission) ratio and the number of motor poles.
If the acceleration or deceleration time is not restricted, the tentative capacity can apply as a
defined capacity.
(2) Calculating the acceleration time (For detailed calculation, refer to Section 3.1.3.2)
When there are some specified requirements for the acceleration time, calculate it according to
the following procedure:
1) Calculate the total moment of inertia for the load and motor
Calculate the moment of inertia for the load, referring to Section 3.1.3.2, "Calculation of
acceleration/deceleration time." For the motor, refer to the related motor catalogs. Sum them
up.
2) Calculate the required minimum acceleration torque (See Figure 3.4)
The acceleration torque is the difference between the motor short-time output torque (base
frequency: 60 Hz) explained in Section 3.1.1 (2), "Maximum driving torque in a short time"
and the load torque (τ
Calculate the required minimum acceleration torque over the whole range of speed.
3) Calculate the acceleration time
Assign the value calculated above to the equation (3.10) in Section 3.1.3.2, "Calculation of
acceleration/deceleration time" to calculate the acceleration time. If the calculated
acceleration time is longer than the expected time, select the inverter and motor having one
class higher capacity and calculate it again.
