All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Flying Start The Flying Start feature is used to start an already rotating motor. When a drive is started in normal mode, it will apply a frequency of 0 Hz to the motor and then ramp up to the desired frequency. If the motor is already rotating, the drive will try to force the motor to stop, which will generate large currents, which will cause an overcurrent fault.
