Motor and Circuit Type
The motor’s stator winding can be connected in a star or
delta configuration, in accordance with the rated operational
data on the nameplate.
Example of a Motor Ratings Plate
Star and Delta Circuit Types
The three-phase motor with the rating plate based on the
figure shown above, can be run in a star or delta connection.
The operational characteristic curve is determined by the
ratio of motor voltage and motor frequency, in this case.
87-Hz Characteristic Curve
In the delta circuit with 400V and 87 Hz, the motor shown in
the figure above was released with three times-fold output
(~1.3 kW).
Because of the higher thermal loading, using only the next
higher motor output according to the list (1.1 kW) is
recommended. The motor (in this example) therefore still has
1.47-fold higher output compared with the listed output
(0.75 kW).
With the 87-Hz characteristic curve, the motor also works in
the range from 50 to 87 Hz with an unattenuated field. The
pull-out torque remains at the same level as in input
operation with 50 Hz.
The heat class of the motor must be at least F in 87-Hz
operation.
V/Hz-Characteristic Curve
The following table shows the allocation of possible
frequency inverters depending on the input voltage and the
type of circuit.
