Parameter Function
P0205 Converter application
Selects a converter application.
The converter and motor requirements are determined by the speed range and torque requirements of the
load. The relationship between speed and torque for different loads (high overloads or low overloads) is
shown in the following figure:
High overload (HO):
•
HO mode is used if the application needs a high overload on the whole frequency range. Many loads
can be considered to be high overloads. Typical high overloads are conveyors, compressors and posi-
tive displacement pumps.
Low overload (LO):
•
LO mode is used if the application has a parabolic frequency/torque characteristic like many fans and
pumps. Low overload offers the following possibilities with the same converter:
– Higher rated converter current r0207
– Higher rated converter power r0206
– Higher threshold for I2t protection
If P0205 is modified in quick commissioning it immediately calculates various motor parameters:
– P0305 Rated motor current
– P0307 Rated motor power
– P0640 Motor overload factor
It is recommended to modify P0205 first. Afterwards motor parameter may be adapted.
Motor parameter will be overridden by changing this sequence.
Values: 0
1
Notice: Use setting 1 (low overload) only for low-overload applications (for example, pumps and fans).
If it is used for high-overload applications, I2t warning will be produced too late, causing overheating in the motor.
Note: This parameter selects converter application for FSE only. The parameter value is not reset by the factory
setting (see P0970).
