Starting Current
The torque required to start a machine (initial torque) varies from one application to another.
Starting current may be adjusted to match the initial motor torque of the application. The starting
current value is adjustable from 100% to 400% FLA and is factory set at 100%. If quick
acceleration is desired, set the starting current at a higher level.
CAUTION
