Startup of third-party motors

Asynchronous motors

The nameplate data of the motor must be entered during startup:

• Nominal motor speed
• Nominal motor frequency
• Nominal motor voltage
• Nominal motor current
• Power factor cos φ
• Nominal motor power

The parameters required for startup are calculated based on the nameplate data and the motor is taken into operation.

SEW-EURODRIVE also recommends carrying out a parameter measurement with FCB25 for better control characteristics. These determine the equivalent wiring diagram of the motor. The duration of the measurement depends on the motor parameters. In the case of asynchronous motors, the measurement is carried out in an idle state. If a brake is present, it remains closed.
