Mot.CosPhi CoS
Motor CosPhi, motor power
factor.
Set the CoS parameter to the
motor nameplate power factor.
0.5 to 1
depends
on drive
controller
rating
If the power factor is not provided on the nameplate or to
optimize the motor torque performance, use
the following
procedure to optimize the motor power factor setting.
Operate the motor with no load at a frequency equal to
nominal frequency / 2. Then adjust the CoS parameter
such that the measured motor voltage equals nominal
motor voltage / 2.
For example:
For a 460 Vac motor operating at 60 Hz, adjust the CoS
parameter to have 230 V at 30 Hz.
If motor voltage is less than 230 V, decrease CoS
parameter.
If motor voltage is more than 230 V, increase the CoS
parameter.

The factory setting depends on the macro-configuration used: No for Material
Handling, Yes for General Use and Variable torque.

Refer to the drive controller instruction bulletin, VVDED397048US, for duty cycle
ratings of the drive controllers.
★ These parameters are available only with the I/O extension card installed.
