Another tool provided by Yaskawa allows the calculation <strong>of</strong> the inertia ratio<br />

parameter based on the theoretical approach introduced in this chapter. For the<br />

<strong>system</strong> rotating with 30 rpm (motor rotates with 750 rpm) and limitation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

torque peak to 100 % <strong>of</strong> the nominal value, the inertia ratio parameter was 4.<br />

This parameter was adjusted using the SigmaWin s<strong>of</strong>tware to provide optimal<br />

response <strong>of</strong> the <strong>system</strong> to the speed change during the hoeing.<br />
