<1> Once AC power is restored, the drive will wait for at least the time set to b3-05. If the power interruption is longer than the minimum
baseblock time set to L2-03, the drive will wait until the time set to b3-05 has passed after power is restored before starting Speed
Search.
Step 2: Current Injection
Current Injection is performed when there is not enough residual voltage remaining in the motor. This might occur after
after longer power losses, when Speed Search is applied with the Run command (b3-01 = 1), or if an External search
command is used. It injects the DC current set in b3-06 to the motor and detects the speed by measuring the current
feedback. The drive outputs the detected frequency and increases the voltage using the time constant set in parameter L2-
04 while looking at the motor current. If the current is higher than the level in b3-02, then the output frequency is
reduced. When the current falls below b3-02, the motor speed is assumed to be found and the drive starts to accelerate or
decelerate to the frequency reference.

Notes on Using Speed Estimation Speed Search
• Rotational Auto-Tuning for V/f Control (T1-01 = 3) needs to be first performed if you plan to use Speed Estimation in
V/f Control. Perform Stationary Auto-Tuning for Line-to-Line Resistance (T1-01 = 2) again if the there is a change in
the cable length between the drive and motor.
• If the application is running multiple motors from the same drive, or if the motor is considerably smaller than the
capacity of the drive.
• Speed Estimation may have trouble finding the actual speed if the motor cable is very long. Current Detection should
be used in such situations.
• Use Current Detection instead of Speed Estimation when operating motors smaller than 1.5 kW. Speed Estimation can
end up stopping smaller motors, as it might not be able to detect the speed or rotation direction of such small motors.
• Short Circuit Braking is recommended instead of Speed Search when using OLV/PM along with a fairly long motor
cable.
