General technical data, refer to list T.02 We reserve the right to carry out changes which result from the continuous development as well as changes concerning the values and dimensions stated in the catalogue. The stated data are no warranted characteristics in the juristic sense. Warranted characteristics must be explicitly mentioned in the quotation / order confirmation.
Layout instructions
Layout of motors: - only star connection - maximum frequency = nominal frequency (no 'field weakening') - torque: M = _P x 30.000_
nx
- select motor from list according to the maximum operating speed - smallest motor: external ventilation - most economical motor: up to size 100 : self-ventilation starting from size 112: external ventilation - motors for temporary operation and / or higher acceleration power: please make a corresponding inquiry The motors can be manufactured for all nominal frequencies up to maximum frequencies due to technical marginal conditions. With regard to the dimensioning, please do not hesitate to use our free-ofcharge services. Layout of inverters: - base frequency = maximum frequency = nominal frequency - linear U/f characteristic - voltage increase with frequencies < 20 Hz - nominal current (static) I .. = 1,2 motor nominal current (dynamic) I (dyn) = 1,0 x motor nominal current - nominal current of group drives with z motors: I .. = 1,2 z In(motor) I (dyn) = {1,2 (z - 1) + 1,5} In(motor) - group drives with direct switching on of a motor: consider the short-circuit current of the switched motor! Inverter for maximum adjusting ranges: - freely programmable U/f characteristic (optimal: 3 - 4 support points) - frequency 0 Hz adjustable (holding torque) - sinusoidal evaluation min. 16 bit

Inverter adjustment There are no adjusting stipulations for all inverters available on the market because the adjusting possibilities of the various inverters strongly differ. At KAISER, the data on inverters with a userprogrammability of the U / f characteristic curve are measured on three interpolation points. For a constant torque from 5 Hz onwards in continuous operation, characteristic curves which coincide with fig. 1 to a great extent result for all motors. Small corrections can be necessary in concrete applications. Attention! The voltages shown in fig. 1 are measured actual values not nominal parameters set according to inverter instructions. Only the fundamental component must be taken into consideration with the measured voltage. The measurement is practically carried out with an r.m.s. responding instrument with a lower critical frequency (soft iron). Nominal current If the voltage frequency characteristic curve acc. to fig. 1 is adjusted so that the nominal torque can be continuously transmitted at 5 Hz, a current overshoot of approx. 10 to 20% results for most inverters below approx. 5 Hz when the motor runs at no load. With a load with nominal torque, the current goes back to the nominal value (refer to fig. 2). This fact must definitely be taken into consideration when selecting the inverter. KAISER reluctance motors are suitable for continuous operation with the stated increased current.

Smooth running With inverters of a good industrial quality, an adequate smooth running can presently be attained for many applications with frequencies starting with approx. 1,5 Hz. Preliminary trials on our testing station are definitely recommended in such cases before series application. Noise With noise-sensitive applications, inverters with a variable chopper frequency should be selected because, according to motor size and number of poles, random resonances can occur which can only be eliminated by changing the chopper frequency or with a complicated filtering. A preliminary calculation of such resonances is unfortunately economically not possible due to the complexity of the entire system. The use of a high pulse inverter (10 to 20 kHz) with KAISER reluctance motors is unrestrictedly admissible. Bearings Only 100% noise-tested bearings of top quality are used in KAISER reluctance motors. A trial run is effected on the assembled motor and subsequently a noise test is carried out. Grease KAISER reluctance motors are lubricated with heavyduty EP grease (Mobiltemp SHC 100). This grease also allows a lifetime lubrication with the higher temperature due to the speed control. There is a large selection of special greses available for special applications. Balancing KAISER reluctance motors are balanced according to DIN ISO 8821 with half a slot key. Should a balancing be necessary with a full feather key, this must be explicitly noted in the order!
Construction KAISER reluctance motors have a conventional three phase stator and a special "reluctance" rotor. The reluctance rotor has 2 p large reluctance slots and a couple of normal rotor slots. All slots and the short circuit rings are compound filled with aluminium in the pressure die casting procedure. Through this rotor construction, an extreme robustness and stability against high speeds is attained (refer to fig. 3). Housing KAISER reluctance motors are installed in normal three phase standard motor housings. Traditional foot and flange mountings as well as standard shafts can thus be carried out. All possible special designs of KAISER standard motors can also be supplied.
Series 46 - only upon special request KAISER reluctance motors of the series 46 (4-poles) have a better power factor (cos phi). This improvement is accompanied by a higher oscillation tendency. These motors should therefore not be applied in plants with a considerable or extreme centrifugal mass and temporary operation close to no-load operation. With series-connected gear boxes with a transmission ratio > 15, an application is in general possible without any problems. Motor protection As with all variable-speed motors, KAISER reluctance motors should definitely be protected by PTC thermistors or bimetal contacts (option).
As with all KAISER motors, a high-quality insulation system is used for KAISER reluctance motors. The winding is made out of enamelled copper wire of the insulation class H with a particularly high mechanical stability. Triplex material is generally used for the slot insulation. The finished windings are impregnated with impregnating varnish. This results in a particularly high stability against voltage peaks as well as against moisture. Up to now no winding failures caused by inverteroperation are known if the EMC stipulations are met.

Synchronizing procedure
Function A different inductivity of the motor results through the reluctance slots, depending on the rotor position. As the aim of the rotor is to always go into the position of the lowest energy level (the highest inductivity), it runs synchronously with the stator rotating field as long as the maximum possible load torque (synchronous pull-out torque) is not exceeded. Due to the also existing asynchronous rotor cage, an asynchronous starting is possible. Furthermore, the rotor cage serves as a damper cage against torsional vibrations. Synchronizing performance Theoretically one can consider KAISER reluctance motors as non-excited salient-pole machines with damper cage (refer to fig. 3). Operational performance The torque-speed characteristic of the KAISER reluctance motors consists of two ranges. In the first range, the characteristic corresponds to that of normal asynchronous motors, this range is only traversed with the asynchronous starting. In the normal operating condition, the characteristic is a straight line from zero up to the synchronous pullout torque at synchronous speed (refer to fig. 4). If KAISER reluctance motors are switched on with a fixed frequency, they first of all accelerate on the asynchronous characteristic up to the point of intersection with the load torque. At this point in time, a sinusoidal shaped torque with slip frequency (refer to fig. 5) superimposes the asynchronous torque. A positive half-wave of this torque must accelerate the drive by the slip speed in order to synchronize. This directly results in the sychronizing performance being dependent on the load torque and the load moment of inertia. In comparison to permanent-magnet synchronous motors KAISER reluctance motors can accelerate and synchronize significantly higher external moments of inertia. Loss of synchronism The characteristic of the load torque over the load angle has a practically sinusoidal shape. If the load torque is increased up to the maximum of the first sinus half-wave, the rotor pulls out into the next stable working step. If the load torque is still too high, the motor continues to pull out, it runs asynchronously. This operating condition is recognizable by a strongly fluctuating electrical current and a pulsating sound. Fig. 4 If the motors are accelerated via a frequency inverter on a frequency ramp, one only works in the second range. During operation, KAISER reluctance motors perform as ideal speed stable motors to which the load is connected via a torsion spring, i.e. with load, the shaft lags behind the rotating field by a load torque dependent angle. In the normal operating range, the dependency between the load torque and the load angle is linear in the first approximation. With a longer asynchronous operation, the motor will be damaged.

Oscillatory characteristics As KAISER reluctance motors - like every synchronous motor - form a spring-mass system with the load, mechanical sympathetic oscillations are possible. Especially with 2 and 4-pole motors with an external centrifugal mass, such oscillations can occur in the operating range below approx. 25 Hz. Preliminary trials are also advisable in this case - as already mentioned above with the noises.
