64 Planning the electrical installation
Using a contactor between the drive and the motor
Implementing the control of the output contactor depends on how you select the
drive to operate.
When you have selected to use DTC motor control mode, and motor ramp stop, open
the contactor as follows:
1.
Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Wait until the drive decelerates the motor to zero speed.
3. Open the contactor.
When you have selected to use DTC motor control mode, and motor coast stop, or
scalar control mode, open the contactor as follows:
1.
Give a stop command to the drive.
2. Open the contactor.
WARNING! When the DTC motor control mode is in use, never open the
output contactor while the drive controls the motor. The DTC motor control
operates extremely fast, much faster than it takes for the contactor to
open its contacts. When the contactor starts opening while the drive controls the
motor, the DTC control tries to maintain the load current by immediately increasing
the drive output voltage to the maximum. This can damage or burn the contactor.
