I bought a Teco N3-203-CS-U. I purchased it purposefully oversized because I wanted to have some future flexibility to use it on other larger machines and it was not a ton more to go with the larger unit. I wired everything up and fired it up and it worked at the default settings.
This morning I went in and was configuring the drive's advanced settings and was trying to input the motor's parameters into the unit and ran across something strange.
I went into the advanced section of the unit and began configuring the motor:
A001 - Motor Rated Voltage - I left this as default was 230
A002 - Motor Rated Amps - I changed the config on this to be 2.2 versus the default of 8.7 and received an error. The unit would not let me save the configuration to anything under 4.5
A003 - Motor Rated HP - I set this to .5 since this is only a half horse motor but default is 3.
A004 - Motor rated hertz left at default of 60.
When I have the unit configured to .5 HP and try to run it I get an error of OVSP, Over Speed During Operation. It notes in the error section of the manual that this could be:
1. Motor load excessive or invertor capacity to small - this feels unlikely do the unit be rated much larger than the motor
2. Motor parameter error (vector mode) - a000 is set to the default of 002 so I don't think that is vector mode
3. The gain is excessive in vector mode - A000 set to 002
4. Current detection circuit fault
So I am wondering if this perhaps can't be configured to run as small of a motor as I am trying to run? Or is there simply another series of parameters with it that I am not understanding and that I need to configure to make it run with this motor.
As noted, everything works fine is I leave the motor configured as 8.7amp and 3HP but I don't want to leave it assuming there is a much larger motor running than there is.
Thoughts?
