The inductance has to be designed as the following specifications:
- Impedence value: 0.045 mH on 3 phases.
- Operation voltage: 400V
- Max operation frequency: 1000 Hz
- Switching frequency PWM: 8 kHz
- Max value of voltage current: greater than max working voltage current considering the heaviest service
(S1 or S6)
- Max length for wiring cables: 40 m

The inverter is to be programmed so that the value of the max. direct current is equal to
the max.the current value of the values above indicated in the "Current" line "
in funzione del tipo di servizio prescelto.

In order to prevent hazardous overloads set the maximum current or maximum torque values supplied
from the converter not above 140% of the nominal current or nominal torque. This means the
maximum oberload can't be 40% over the nominal values.
