We know that, according to the above expression the steady state operation takes place when motor
torque equals the load torque. The steady state operation for a given speed is realized by adjustment of
steady state motor speed torque curve such that the motor and load torque are equal at this speed.
Change in speed is achieved by varying the steady state motor speed torque curve so that motor torque
equals the load torque at the new desired speed. When the motor parameters are adjusted to provide
speed torque, drive runs at the desired speed. Speed is changed to when the motor parameters are
adjusted to provide speed torque. When load torque opposes motion, the motor works as a motor
operating in quadrant I or III depending on the direction of rotation. When the load is active it can reverse
its sign and act to assist the motion. Steady state operation for such a case can be obtained by adding a
mechanical brake which will produce a torque in a direction to oppose the motion. The steady state
operation is obtained at a speed for which braking torque equal the load torque. Drive operates in
quadrant II or IV depending upon the rotation.
1.Identification of drives? Whenever a drive is to be
selected, you ought to know what you need the drive
for, the type of motor is to drive, and the supply
available at the given time.
2.Sizing of drives - Drive sizing is majorly based on the
motor’s voltage and current. It helps to select an
optimal motor, drive and transformer. It can also be
used to compute network harmonics and to create
dimensioning documents. This is to ensure that the
VFD satisfies the maximum current requirements of
the motor at peak torque demand.

(a)Interpretation of drawings and symbols- There must be a proper
understanding of the circuit diagrams, and symbols related to the
drive-in question
(b)Sorting of the appropriate cable size- Corresponding cable is needed
for both the motor and the drive, to avoid voltage drop on the line.
Programming of drives- This stage involves modeling the drive software
to suit the desired operation. Most drives are usually preset with default
parameters for simple operation such as language setting but there are
parameters that must be configured prior to the operation of these
drives. In motor control, the motor parameters (current, voltage, and
frequency) must be provided prior to operation of drives while other
motor parameter are gotten by drive through Auto turning. Other
parameters to be configured is determined by the type of operation to
be performed and the type of feedback required
(a)is determined by the type of operation to be performed and
the type of feedback required. Configuration of drive
parameters is usually known as parameterization. Drive
parameterization differs from drive to drive and the type of
operation desired. Knowledge of the drive configuration is
detailed in drive manual and the manuals should be read and
understood prior to installation.
(b) Commissioning of drives- On successful completion of the
above procedures, the cable connections, cable terminal,
general alignment, firmness of the unit on the wall, and cross
checking of installation diagram for conformity; the drive
should be engaged to work.
