12.3 b: Application
Note:
After you restore power, the drive will not do Speed Search until the time set in b3-05 [Speed Search Delay Time] expires. This means that
the drive will not always start Speed Search when the time set in L2-03 [Minimum Baseblock Time] expires.
If you enter the Run command at the same time as Speed Search, the drive will not do Speed Search until the time set
in L2-03 expires. When the value set in L2-03 < b3-05, the drive will use the wait time set in b3-05.
WARNING! Sudden Movement Hazard. Do not do Current Detection Speed Search with light loads or a stopped motor. If you do
Auto-Tuning in these conditions, the motor can suddenly accelerate and cause serious injury or death.
Note:
• You cannot use Current Detection Speed Search with PM motors.
• If the drive detects oL1 [Motor Overload] during Current Detection Speed Search, decrease b3-03.
• If the drive detects oC [Overcurrent] or ov [Overvoltage] during Current Detection Speed Search after the drive recovers from a
momentary power loss, increase L2-03.
• If b3-01 = 1 [Speed Search at Start Selection = Enabled], too much current will flow when the motor starts. If there is too much current at
start it will decrease the service life of the drive IGBTs over time.

Speed Estimation
Use this Speed Search function with induction motors. Set b3-24 = 1 [Speed Search Method Selection = Speed
Estimation]. This function uses less current and has a shorter search time than other functions. This function lets you
do Speed Search when the motor is rotating in reverse. When you return power after a power loss, the motor will not
suddenly accelerate.
Note:
You cannot do Speed Estimation Speed Search in these conditions:
• When You Operate More than One Motor with One Drive
• When you use a high-speed motor (200 Hz or higher)
• When you use a 1.5 kW or smaller motor.
• When the motor output is more than 1 frame size smaller than the drive capacity
• When there is a long wiring distance between the drive and motor
For these conditions, use Current Detection Speed Search.
