6.1.8 Maximum Motor Electrical Speed (Hz)

Using the motor's data sheet, the user can input the maximum motor electrical speed in Hz using the maxMotorSpeed parameter in the System Configuration Page. If this data is not available, the user can input the number of pole pairs and motor mechanical speed in RPM. The user can convert the motor mechanical speed in RPM to motor electrical speed in Hz using Equation 10.

Equation 10. f E l e c t r i c a l = n P o l e P a i r s ∙ ω M e c h a n i c a l 60        

Where:

  • ωMechanical is the mechanical speed in units revolutions per minute (RPM)
  • fElectrical is the electrical speed in units of hertz (Hz)
  • nPolePairs is the number of motor pole pairs
Note:

To determine the number of motor poles without a motor data sheet:

  1. Use a lab power supply and make sure the current limit is set to less than the motor rated current. Do not turn on the supply.
  2. Connect V+ of the supply to phase A and V- of the supply to phase B of the motor. Any 2 of the 3 phases can be chosen at random if the phases not labeled.
  3. Turn on supply, The rotor settles at one position by injecting current.
  4. Manually rotate the rotor until rotor snaps to another settle position. Rotor settle down at various positions around one mechanical cycle.
  5. Count the number of settle-down positions for one fully mechanical cycle, which is the number of pole pairs. Multiplying by two calculates the number of poles.

Be careful of gearing systems within a motor. The gearing ratio determines how many rotor revolutions correlate to the shaft mechanical revolution.
