Typical correction time after a speed change:
100 ms ... 200
ms
Typical correc-
tion time after
a load surge:
500 ms
The control
mode is suita-
ble to address
the following
requirements:
– Motor power ratings < 45 kW
– Ramp-up time 0 → Rated speed (de-
pendent on the rated motor power):
1 s (0.1 kW) ... 10 s (45 kW)
– Applications with increasing load torque
without load surges
The control mode is insensitive with respect
to inaccurate motor data settings
550 Hz
Without torque control
Contrary to vector control, no speed control-
ler has to be set
Induction, synchronous and reluctance motors
No restrictions

applications:
– Motor power ratings > 11 kW
– For load surges 10 % ... >100 % of the rat-
ed motor torque
The vector control is necessary for a ramp-up
