Basic Operating Principle o...
The EN 50598 standard for Ecodesign of Power Drive
Systems allows the use of reference values. Determine the
motor cosine phi value by the motor nominal power rating
as kVA and with linear interpolation from the reference
values in Table 3.2.

ecoSmart:
•
Power loss @ 50% motor frequency and 50%
motor current = 249 W.
•
Power loss @ 50% motor frequency and 100%
motor current = 490 W.
The power loss of the frequency converter at 50% motor
frequency and 75% torque-producing current are found by
2-dimensional interpolation as 370 W.
Loss
= 370 W.
VLT
Alternatively, identify the power loss of the frequency
converter by entering the point of operation in VLT
ecoSmart as a user-defined operating point.
To determine the power loss of the CDM, sum up the
power losses in the operating point of the AHF and the
frequency converter:

+ Loss
= 149 W + 370 W = 519 W
