in typical applications.
3.1.3 Example of Energy Savings
As shown in Illustration 3.3, the flow is controlled by

changing the RPM. By reducing the speed by only 20%
from the rated speed, the flow is also reduced by 20%.
This is because the flow is directly proportional to the
RPM. The consumption of electricity, however, is reduced
by 50%.
If the system in question only needs to be able to supply a
flow that corresponds to 100% a few days in a year, while
the average is below 80% of the rated flow for the
remainder of the year, the amount of energy saved is even
more than 50%.
Illustration 3.3 describes the dependence of flow, pressure,

and power consumption on RPM.

3.1.6 Better Control
If a frequency converter is used for controlling the flow or

pressure of a system, improved control is obtained.
A frequency converter can vary the speed of the fan or
pump, obtaining variable control of flow and pressure.
Furthermore, a frequency converter can quickly adapt the
speed of the fan or pump to new flow or pressure

3.4.7 Immunity Requirements
Illustration 3.54 Galvanic Isolation
The immunity requirements for frequency converters
depend on the environment where they are installed. The
requirements for the industrial environment are higher
than the requirements for the home and office
environment. All Danfoss frequency converters comply
with the requirements for the industrial environment and
therefore comply also with the lower requirements for
home and office environment with a large safety margin.
3.5 Galvanic Isolation (PELV)

PELV offers protection through extra low voltage.
Protection against electric shock is ensured when the
electrical supply is of the PELV type and the installation is

It is clear that at lower speed the ETR cuts off at lower

heat due to less cooling of the motor. In that way, the
motor is protected from being overheated even at low

Bit 14 = 1: The current limit in parameter 4-18 Current Limit
is exceeded.

Bit 15 = 0: The timers for motor thermal protection and
thermal protection are not exceeded 100%.
Bit 15 = 1: 1 of the timers exceeds 100%.
7.11.3 Bus Speed Reference Value
Speed reference value is transmitted to the frequency

converter in a relative value in %. The value is transmitted
in the form of a 16-bit word. The integer value 16384
(4000 hex) corresponds to 100%. Negative figures are
formatted using 2’s complement. The actual output
frequency (MAV) is scaled in the same way as the bus
reference.

The reference and MAV are scaled as follows:

8.4 General Technical Data

Protection and features
• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the frequency converter trips if there is overtemperature.
• The frequency converter is protected against short circuits between motor terminals U, V, W.
• When a motor phase is missing, the frequency converter trips and issues an alarm.
• When a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
• Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips when the DC-link voltage is too low
or too high.
• The frequency converter is protected against ground faults on motor terminals U, V, W.
