4.2.97 Sensorless vector, 0 Hz domain control
The 0Hz domain sensorless vector (SLV) control function
incorporates Hitachi’s own torque control system and
enables high-torque operation in the 0Hz range (0 to 3 Hz).
This control function is best suited for driving a lifting machine,
e.g., crane or hoist, that requires sufficient torque when
starting at a low frequency.
To use this function, specify "04" for the V/F characteristic
curve selection (A044/A244).
Before using this function, be sure to optimize constant
settings for the motor with reference to Section 4.2.91, "Motor
constant selection."
The parameters related to the 0Hz-range sensorless vector
control are as follows:
1) The Zero LV lmit for 1st/2nd motors (H060/H260) is the
parameter that specifies the output current for the
constant-current control in the 0 Hz range (about 3.0 Hz or
less). The parameter value is expressed as a ratio of the
output current to the inverter's rated current.
2) The Zero LV starting boost current (H061/H261) is the parameter to specify the current for boosting at
motor start-up with a frequency in the 0 Hz range. The parameter value is expressed as a ratio of the boost
current to the inverter's rated current. The value of the boost current is added to the current value specified
by "H060/H260" only at starting.
Item Function code Range of data Description
Zero LV lmit H060/H260 0.0 to 100.0 (%) Current limiter for the low-speed range
Zero LV starting boost current H061/H261 0. to 50. (%) Quantity of boost current at starting
When using this function, observe the following precautions:
1) Be sure to use an inverter of which the capacity is one class higher than the motor to be driven.
2) If you use the inverter to drive a motor of which the capacity is two classes lower than the maximum
applicable capacity of the inverter, you may not be able to obtain adequate motor characteristics.
3) If you cannot obtain desired characteristics from the motor driven under the 0Hz-range sensorless
vector control, readjust the motor constants according to the symptom as described in the table below.

Note 1: Always set the carrier frequency (b083) to 2.1 kHz or more. If the carrier frequency is less than 2.1
kHz, the inverter cannot operate the motor normally.
Note 2: Adjust the torque limit (b041 to b044) so that the value "α" calculated by the expression below
does not exceed 200%. Otherwise, the motor may be burnt out.
α = "torque limit" x (inverter capacity)/(motor capacity)
(Example) When the inverter capacity is 0.75 kW and the motor capacity is 0.4 kW, the torque limit
value is calculated as follows on the assumption that the value "α" should be 200%:
Torque limit (b041 to b044) = α x (motor capacity)/(inverter capacity) = 200% x (0.4
kW)/(0.75 kW) = 106%
