Altivar 71 VFD Question

Altivar 71 VFD Question

Altivar 71 VFD Question

(OP)
Hi,

There is a parameter on the HMI screen that reads Input Kw and is a live figure as far as I can see as it moves up and down.

Does this figure give the overall KW usage on the circuit ie can this figure can be used as your consumption figure or cost figure?

Any help is appreciated,
Thomas

RE: Altivar 71 VFD Question

It typically means the motor power.
So add a 2~3% and call it a day.
