PM sensorless vector control
• Highly efficient motor control and highly accurate motor speed control can be performed by using the inverter with a PM
(permanent magnet embedded) motor, which is more efficient than an induction motor.
• The motor speed is calculated based on the output voltage and current from the inverter. It does not require a speed
detector such as an encoder. The inverter drives the PM motor with the least required current when a load is applied in
order to achieve the highest motor efficiency.

POINT POINT
• The PM sensorless vector control requires the following conditions.
• Offline auto tuning is performed.
• For the motor capacity, the rated motor current should be equal to or less than the inverter rated current. (It must be 0.4 kW
or higher.)
Using a motor with the rated current substantially lower than the inverter rated current will cause torque ripples, etc. and
degrade the speed and torque accuracies. As a reference, select the motor with the rated motor current that is about 40% or
higher of the inverter rated current.
• Single-motor operation (one motor to one inverter) is preformed.
• The overall wiring length with the motor is 100 m or less. (Refer to
