Pre-heating (Motor heating)
The pre-heating function keeps the motor warm and prevents condensation inside the
motor by feeding it with DC current when the drive has been stopped. The heating
can only be on when the drive is in the stopped state, and starting the drive stops the
heating.
When pre-heating is activated and the stop command is given, pre-heating starts
immediately if the drive is running below the zero speed limit (see bit 0 in parameter
06.19 Speed control status
pre-heating is delayed by 60 seconds to prevent excessive current.
The function can be defined to be always active when the drive is stopped or it can be
activated by a digital input, fieldbus, timed function or supervision function. For
example, with the help of signal supervision function, the heating can be activated by
a thermal measurement signal from the motor.
The pre-heating current fed to the motor can be defined as 0...30% of the nominal
motor current.
Notes:
• In applications where the motor keeps rotating for a long time after the modulation
is stopped, it is recommended to use ramp stop with pre-heating to prevent a
sudden pull at the rotor when the pre-heating is activated.
• The heating function requires that the STO circuit is closed or not triggered open.
• The heating function requires that the drive is not faulted.
• Pre-heating uses DC hold to produce current.

Energy optimization

The function optimizes the motor flux so that total energy consumption and motor
noise level are reduced when the drive operates below the nominal load. The total
efficiency (motor and drive) can be improved by 1...20% depending on load torque
and speed. Energy optimization is enabled by default.
Note: With permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors, energy
optimization is always enabled.
