Chapter 4 Explanation of Functions
4.2.96 Sensorless vector control
The sensorless vector control function estimates and controls
the motor speed and output torque on the basis of the inverter
output voltage and output current and the motor constants set
on the inverter. This function enables the inverter to accurately
operate the motor with a high starting torque, even at a low
frequency (0.3 Hz or more).
To use this function, specify "03" for the V/F characteristic curve
selection (A044/A244).
Before using this function, be sure to make optimum constant
settings for the motor with reference to Section 4.2.91, "Motor
constant selection."
When using this function, observe the following precautions:
1) If you use the inverter to drive a motor of which the capacity
is two classes lower than the maximum applicable capacity
of the inverter, you may not be able to obtain adequate
motor characteristics.
2) If you cannot obtain the desired characteristics from the motor driven under the sensorless vector
control, readjust the motor constants according to the symptom, as described in the table below.

Note 1: Always set the carrier frequency (b083) to 2.1 kHz or more. If the carrier frequency is less than 2.1
kHz, the inverter cannot operate the motor normally.
Note 2: When driving a motor of which the capacity is one class lower than the inverter, adjust the torque
limit (b041 to b044) so that the value "α" calculated by the expression below does not exceed
200%. Otherwise, the motor may be burnt out.
α = "torque limit" x (inverter capacity)/(motor capacity)
(Example) When the inverter capacity is 0.75 kW and the motor capacity is 0.4 kW, the torque
limit value is calculated as follows, based on the assumption that the value "α" should
be 200%:
Torque limit (b041 to b044) = α x (motor capacity)/(inverter capacity) = 200% x (0.4
kW)/(0.75 kW) = 106%
