This kit also provides adjustable motoring and regenĆ
erative current limit circuitry. The adjustment range of
the motoring current control is approximately 40 to
of the drive controller fullĆload current (not of the
150%

fullĆload current rating). The adjustment range of
the
regeneration current control is approximately 80 to
150% of the drive controller fullload current (not of the
motor fullĆload current rating). The use of this kit does
not affect the operation of the drive's instantaneous
