reason for this fault maybe that the motor has not been
coupled to the inverter output. However motors withvery
lower currents than the used inverter, or incorrect motor
connection may also cause the fault E14. In this case,
operate the inverter in V/F mode (P202 = 0). When the

producta V/Fcontrol and a sensorlessvector control(VVC:
“voltage vector control”).
The user must choose one of them. Please find below a
description of each control mode.
This control mode is based on the constant V/F curve
(P202= 0 - linear V/Fcurve).Itsperformanceislimitedat low
frequencies as function of the voltage drop in the stator
resistance,that causes a significant magnetic flow reduction
in the motor air gap and consequently reducing the motor
torque. This deficiency should be compensated by using
manualandautomaticboosttorque(IxRcompensations),that
are set according to the parameters P136 or P137.

V/FControl

CHAPTER 6 - DETAILED PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
VectorControl (VVC)
InV/F control, the speed regulation, that can be obtained by
settingproperlyslip compensationcan be maintained within
1 % to 2 % of the rated speed. For instance, for a IV pole
motor/60Hz,theminimumspeedvariationatnoloadcondition
andat rated loadcanbemaintainedbetween18 and 36 rpm.
Thereis still avariationof thelinearV/F control:the quadratic
V/Fcontrol.Thiscontrolmode is suitableforapplicationslike
centrifugal pumps and fans (loads with quadratic torque x
speedcharacteristics),sinceitenablesa motorlossreduction,
resultingin an additional energysaving by using an inverter.
Formore details about the V/F control mode, please referto
the description of the parameters P136, P137, P138, P142
Inthe sensorless vectorcontrol availableattheCFW-08,the
inverter operation is optimized for the used motor, so that a
better performance in terms of torque and speed regulation
is obtained. This vector control does not require a signal of
the speed feedback through tachogenerator or encoder
To maintain the magnetic flux in the motor air gap constant,
and consequently the motor torque, within the whole speed
variationrange(fromzerouptothefield weakening point),a
sophisticated control algorithm is used that considers the
mathematicmodel of the inductionmotor.
Thusone canmaintainthe magnetic flux in the motor air gap

The V/F curve relates the inverter output voltage and
frequency (applied to the motor) and consequently the
magnetizingfluxofthemotor.
The programmable V/F curve can be used in special
applications where the motors used require a rated

ones.Examples:motorfor 220V/400 Hzanda motorfor
Parameter P142 is also useful in appplications that
require motor rated voltage different from the inverter

It acts in order to increase the deceleration time
(according to load - inertia), thus avoiding the E01
- Deceleration curve with DC Link voltage limitation
By this function an optimized deceleration time
(minimum)isachieved for the drivenload.
Thisfunctionisusefulinapplicationswithmediuminertia
thatrequire short deceleration times.

The motor will not stop if the line is permanently with
