Phase sequence

The phase sequence (for power and encoder connection) and the zero position of the encoder (field orientation of the rotation with respect to the commutation) are attuned to operation with AMK converters. When the motor rotates clockwise (viewpoint: towards the motor shaft), voltage is induced with ascending phase sequence U-V-W. Motors with a continuous shaft have an inverted direction of rotation and an opposite sign in converter operation. If AMK motors are operated with converters that are not from AMK, it might be necessary to switch two phases of the power connection and adapt the zero position of the encoder.
