Frequently Asked Question Answered by Lafert
How do I know which motor to select to get the right voltage for my application?
Lafert offers a variety of different voltages on our standard motor, and choosing the right one will depend as much on what voltage is available for the application as well as how you are planning to start the motor. Voltage combinations of 230/460V and 333/575V are the most common but in some of the larger horsepower motors we also offer 460/796V and 575/990V motors. For starting the motor across the line, soft starts and variable frequency drives; choosing the motor that matches the running voltage of the motor is the right choice. By placing the jumpers on the terminal block in the correct configuration (illustrated by the supplied wiring diagram on the inside of the terminal box cover) you are then able to supply the power feed to the appropriate terminals...

Tips for using different Speed Search methods on GA800, GA500, HV600 and 1000 Series drives
A motor is not always at rest when the operator is ready to start it up. It may be rotating at an unknown speed and even in an unknown direction before it receives a run command. There are a number of reasons this could occur. Maybe the motor is coasting because someone pressed stop. Maybe the system just faulted and the motor is coasting at some speed. Maybe another part of the system started up first and is causing this motor to rotate. Maybe there was a power failure and the system is switching from the commercial power supply to a back-up generator. Regardless of the reason, the drive will always attempt to start the motor from zero speed, unless Speed Search is enabled. Speed Search allows the drive to find the motor speed and ramp it to the frequency reference from THAT speed, rather than from zero speed.
