Automatic Restart Mode

The restart mode determines how the inverter will resume operation after a fault causes a trip event. The four options provide advantages for various situations. Frequency matching allows the inverter to read the motor speed by virtue of its residual magnetic flux and restart the output at the corresponding frequency. The inverter can attempt a restart a certain number of times depending on the particular trip event:

•Over-current trip, restart up to 3 times

•Over-voltage trip, restart up to 3 times

•Under-voltage trip, restart up to 16 times

When the inverter reaches the maximum number of restarts (3 or 16), you must power- cycle the inverter to reset its operation.

Other parameters specify the allowable under-voltage level and the delay time before restarting. The proper settings depend on the typical fault conditions for your applica- tion, the necessity of restarting the process in unattended situations, and whether restarting is always safe.
