Selecting an L1000E AC Drive for Elevator Applications
Purpose and Intended Audience
This document contains supplementary information to aid in selection and adjustment of the L1000E Series AC drive
with these application criteria:
• Application: Conventional gear-driven, traction drive elevator applications (counterweighted)
• Motor type: 50 Hz or 60 Hz induction motors
• Near full speed, normal acceleration rates
Please refer to the L1000E Technical Manual SIEPYAIL1E01 for complete information and instructions.
Applicable Models
All L1000E series drives. Models CIMR-LEAC
Overview
This document guides the user in selecting the optimum L1000E model for elevator applications while considering these
specific needs;
• motor acceleration current
• motor audible noise
• overload capability and
• low speed operation.
Definitions
What is Carrier Frequency?
Carrier frequency in PWM (pulse width modulation)-based VFD's, is the rate at which output transistors are gated,
usually 2 to 15 kHz. Higher carrier frequencies yield a better current waveform, less audible motor noise, but more VFD
thermal losses. Lower carrier frequencies yield a less optimum current waveform, increased audible noise, but less VFD
losses. Audible motor noise in applications where the motor must operate quietly can be a concern with lower carrier
frequencies.
