Table 2.3/2: Definition of the load cycles
If the driven machine's load cycle does
not correspond to one of the examples
listed, you can determine the necessary
power converter using the DCSize soft-
ware program.
This program can be run under Microsoft
and enables you to dimension the motor and the power
converter, taking types of load (load cycle), ambient
temperature, site elevation, etc. into account. The
design result will be presented in tables, charts, and can
be printed out as well.
To facilitate the start-up procedure as much as possible
the converter´s software is structured similar as the
inputs made at the program. Because of that many of
the data can be directly utilized at the converter like
high current, line voltage and others.
