b8: Energy Saving

Energy-saving control improves overall system operating efficiency by operating the motor at its most efficient level.

Set b8-01 and these parameters according to the control method and the motor.

  • When you use V/f Control, set parameters b8-04 to b8-06.

  • When you use vector control with an induction motor, set parameters b8-02 and b8-03.

  • When you use a PM motor, set parameters b8-16 and b8-17.

Note:
  • Energy-saving control is not appropriate for applications with sudden changes in the load, or applications driving heavy loads such as a traverse car application.

  • Energy-saving control maximizes operation based on precise motor data set to the drive. Make sure that you do Auto-Tuning and enter the correct information about the motor before you use the Energy-saving control.
