Baldor SuperE motors

Background

If you are setting up a Premium efficiency motor such as a Baldor "Super E" be aware that they are not the same as a standard 60 Hz motor, they require a V/F curve to operate properly.

Here isare anseveral exampleBaldor Super-E motor tag (From federal screw)tags

 

Parameter A1-02

First set A1-02 to zero, this will enable V/F control instead of the open loop vector we normally use.

Set the Volts/Hertz parameters

Next use this document from Yaskawa to set the Volts/hertz parameters (it is attached to the manual)

Set up all other parameters as you would normally.

An autotune through drive wizard has also proven effective in the past but using the document is probably faster and better.
