This parameter determines the AC drives Maximum Output Frequency. All the AC drive
analog inputs (0 to +10V, 4 to 20mA) are scaled to correspond to the output frequency range.
This parameter should be set according to the rated frequency as indicated in the motor
nameplate. Pr.04 and Pr.03 determine the volts per hertz ratio.
For example: if the drive is rated for 460 VAC output and the Maximum Voltage Frequency is set to
60Hz, the drive will maintain a constant ratio of 7.66 v/Hz. Setting of Pr.04 must be equal to or
greater than setting of Mid-Point Frequency (Pr.06).
This parameter determines the Maximum Output Voltage of the AC drive. The Maximum
Output Voltage setting must be smaller than or equal to the rated voltage of the motor as
indicated on the motor nameplate. Setting of Pr.05 must be equal to or greater than setting
of Mid-Point Voltage (Pr.07).
The parameter sets the Mid-Point Frequency of V/F curve. With this setting, the V/F ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point frequency can be determined. Setting of this
parameter must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.08) and
equal to or less than Maximum Voltage Frequency (Pr.04).
The parameter sets the Mid-Point Voltage of any V/F curve. With this setting, the V/F ratio
between Minimum Frequency and Mid-Point Frequency can be determined. Setting of this
parameter must be equal to or greater than Minimum Output Voltage (Pr.09) and equal
to or less than Maximum Output Voltage (Pr.05).

Pr.10. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to ramp from 0
Hz to its Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03). The rate is linear unless the S-Curve (Pr.14) is
Enabled.
Pr.11. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to decelerate
from the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) down to 0 Hz. The rate is linear unless the S-

Pr.12 and Pr.13: Provide an additional Accel/Decel time although Time 1 is the default. A
Multi-Function input terminal must be programmed to select Accel/ or Decel/ Time 2 and the
terminal must be closed to select Accel/Decel Time 2 (See Pr.38 to Pr.42).
In the below diagram, suppose the Maximum Output Frequency is 60 Hz (Master Freq),
Minimum Output Frequency (start-up) is 1.0 Hz, and accel/decel time 1 is 10 seconds. The
actual time for the AC drive to accelerate from start-up to 60 Hz is 9.83 seconds (deceleration

unchanged (0), then Pr.14 sets both acceleration and deceleration S-Curves. If Pr.111 is set
to any value other than 0, then Pr.14 will set the acceleration S-Curve and Pr.111 will set the
deceleration S-Curve.

This parameter sets the acceleration or deceleration time for Jog operation.
When the JOG function is activated, the AC drive will accelerate from Minimum Output
Frequency (Pr.08) to Jog Frequency (Pr.16). Drive must be in stop status for the operator to
activate the JOG function. Likewise, during Jog operation, other commands cannot be
accepted through the keypad but FORWARD, REVERSE and STOP. The JOG function can
be remotely activated when the Jog terminal is closed, and if the Jog terminal opens, the AC
drive will decelerate from Jog Frequency to zero. The accel / decel time is entered as Jog
Accel / Decel Time (Pr.15). Multi-function Input terminals (M1-M5) can also be used to initiate
the JOG operation if so programmed.

Multi-Function Input Terminals (refer to Pr.38 to Pr.42) are used to select Multi-Step speeds.
The desired speed frequencies are entered in Pr.17 to Pr.23. When the associated multi-
function input terminal is closed, drive will run at one of these specific frequencies.
Multi-step speeds (Pr.17 to Pr.23), Pr.78, Pr.79, and Pr.81 to Pr.87; are used for multi-step
motion control, which is executed in an orderly manner, similar to a PLC program.
During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its maximum allowable value due to
motor regeneration. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop decelerating, and
maintain a constant output frequency to prevent from over-voltage tripping. Drive will resume
deceleration when the voltage drops below the setting for Pr.25.
Note: In applications where inertia is low, over-voltage during deceleration would not occur. When
inertia is high, the AC drive will automatically extend the deceleration period. If a faster stop is
needed, then a dynamic brake resistor should be used.

Under certain conditions, the AC drive output current may increase abruptly, and exceed the
value specified by Pr.26. This is commonly caused by rapid acceleration or excessive load on
the motor. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop accelerating and maintain a
constant output frequency. Drive will resume accelerating only after the current drops below
the setting for Pr.26.
During a steady-state operation with the motor load rapidly increasing, the AC drive output
current may exceed the limit specified in Pr.27. When this occurs, the output frequency will
decrease to maintain a constant motor speed. The drive will accelerate to the steady-state
output frequency only when the output current drops below the setting for Pr.27.

This parameter determines the amount of DC Braking Current applied to the motor during
starting and stopping. When setting the DC Braking Current, please note that 100%
corresponds to the rated current of the AC drive. It is recommended to start with a low DC
Braking Current level and then increase it until proper holding torque has been attained.
This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking Current applied during starting. DC
Braking is applied until the Minimum Frequency is reached.
This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking voltage to be applied during
stopping. If stopping with DC Braking is desired, then Pr.02 must be set to Ramp to Stop (0.0).
This parameter sets the frequency at which the DC Braking will begin during deceleration.

Notes:
1. DC Braking during starting is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such
as hoists and cranes. These loads may also be moving in the wrong direction. Under such
circumstances, the DC Braking can be used to hold the load in position before applying a
forward motion.
2. DC Braking during stopping is used to stop faster than the ramp-to-stop or to hold a
stopped load in position. A dynamic brake resistor may be needed in order to stop loads of
high inertia.
After a power loss, the AC drive will resume operation only if the power loss duration is shorter
than the time defined by Pr.33. If the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time is exceeded, the
AC drive output is then turned off.
When a momentary power loss is detected, the AC drive will stop its output and will wait during
a specified time interval called Base Block (entered in Pr.34) before resuming operation.
Setting of this parameter should make the residual output voltage due to regeneration almost
zero, before the drive resumes operation.
This parameter also determines the search time when performing external Base-Block and
Fault Reset (Pr.72).
Following a power failure, the AC drive will start its speed search operation only if the output
current is greater than the value determined by Pr.35. When the output current is less than that
of Pr.35, the AC drive output frequency is at a speed synchronization point and will
accelerate or decelerate back to the operating frequency at which it was running prior to the
power failure.

The Upper/Lower Bounds help prevent operation error and machine damage.
If the Upper Bound of Output Frequency is 50Hz and the Maximum Output Frequency is 60Hz,
Setting of this parameter must be equal to or less than the Upper Bound of Output Frequency
If the Lower Bound of Output Frequency is 10Hz, and the Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.08)
is set at 1.0Hz, then any command frequency between 1-10Hz will generate a 10Hz output

The analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output frequency of the AC drive. A setting of
100% on Pr.44 makes the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) of the AC drive to correspond to the
+10VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)
The analog output voltage is also directly proportional to the output current of the AC drive. A setting
of 100% on Pr.44 makes the 2.5 times rated current of the AC drive to correspond to the +10 VDC
analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10 VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)
Note: Any type of voltmeter can be used. If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10 volts,
then Pr.44 should be set by the following formula:
Pr.44 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10)100%
For Example: When using a meter with a full scale of 5 volts, adjust Pr.44 to 50%

Factory setting is the AC drive rated current. When setting this parameter, just input the motor
The rated current of the AC drive means 100%. Setting of this parameter affects the slip
compensation. The setting value must be smaller than the motor rated current setting in Pr.52.
(this parameter displays the value of actual current.)
This parameter forces the AC drive to increase its voltage output during start-up in order to
obtain a higher initial starting torque.
This parameter can be used to compensate motor slip. Although no linear, it typically adds 6Hz
for a setting of 10 if Pr.03=60 Hz. When the output current of the AC drive is greater than the
motor no-load current (Pr.53), the AC drive will adjust its output frequency according to this
parameter.
Pr.56 Reserved
Pr.57 displays the rated current of the AC motor drive. By reading this parameter the user can
check if the AC motor drive is correct. See Pr.80 for details.
This function is used to limit the output power of the AC drive when powering a self-cooled

This parameter sets the Over-Torque Detection level in 1% increments. (The AC drive rated
current is equal to 100%.)
This is the duration for over-torque detection. When the output current is larger than the over-
torque detection level (Pr.61), an over-torque condition exists and the detection time (Pr.62) is
timed-out. Any of the multi-function output terminals set to indicate over-torque, will then close.
(Please refer to Pr. 45 and Pr.46)
The parameter can be set to display the user-defined value. (where v = H x Pr.65 )
The coefficient K determines the multiplying factor for the user-defined unit.
The display value is calculated as follows:
Display value = output frequency x K
The display window is only capable of showing four digits, yet you could use Pr.65 to create
larger numbers. The display windows uses decimal points to signify numbers up to three digits
as illustrated in next page:
A signal decimal point between the middle and the right-most numbers is a true
999.9
decimal point. For example, the number 123.4 would be displayed as 123.4.
A single decimal point after the right-most number is not a true decimal point; instead
9999. it indicates that a zero follows the right-most number. For example, the number 12340
would be displayed as 1234.
Two decimal points (one between the middle and the right-most numbers, and one
after the right-most number) are not true decimal points; instead they indicate that two
999.9.
zeros follow the right-most number. For example, the number 345600 would be
displayed as 345.6..
This parameter defines the Master Frequency when the AC drive is controlled by the
communication interface.
These three parameters determine the three Skip Frequencies that in conjunction with Pr.70,
Skip Frequency Band, will cause the AC drive to skip operating in each frequency band. Note:
Pr.67 > Pr.68 > Pr.69.
This parameter determines the frequency band for a given Skip Frequency. Half of the Skip
Frequency Band is above the Skip Frequency and the other half is below. Programming this
parameter to 0.1 disables all skip frequencies.

The parameter defines the carrier frequency of the PWM (Pulse-Width Modulated) output.
From the above table, we see that the carrier frequency of PWM output has a significant
influence on the electromagnetic noise, heat dissipation of the AC drive, and the acoustic
noise to the motor.
When this parameter is enabled (set different to zero), the AC Drive will restart/reset
automatically up to 10 times after the occurrence of certain type of faults (over-current OC,
over-voltage OV). If enabled, the AC drive will restart on speed search, which begins at
Master Frequency. Setting this parameter to 0 will disable this operation. To set the fault
recovery time after a fault, please see base-block time for speed search (Pr.34).
This parameter allows the user to reset the drive to factory settings.
Pr.77 Time for Auto Reset the Restart Times after Fault Unit: 0.1 second
Settings 0.1 to 6000.0 sec Factory Setting: 60.0
If there is no fault in the period of this setting, it will reset the rest restart times that used after
fault to the setting of restart times.
This M drive can be programmed to execute a sequence of operations named PLC mode.
The PLC program can be used in lieu of any external controls, relays or switches. The AC
drive will change speeds and directions according to the users desired programming. This
parameter selects the PLC operation mode for the drive. Please review the following examples:
1 Pr.17 to Pr.23: 1st to 7th step speed (sets the frequency for each step speed)
2 Pr.38 to Pr.42: Multi-Function Input Terminals (program one multi-function terminal for PLC

Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the low order byte of the 16-
bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.
Step 3: Shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero filling. Extract and examine the LSB.
Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, repeat step 3, else Exclusive or the CRC register with the
polynomial value A001H.
Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete
8-bit byte will have been processed.
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message.
Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed. The final contents of the CRC register is the
CRC value. When transmitting the CRC value in the message, the upper and lower bytes of the
CRC value must be swapped, i.e. the lower order byte will be transmitted first.
The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The function takes two arguments:
int j;
reg_crc ^= *data++;
for(j=0;j<8;j++){
reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;
}else{
reg_crc=reg_crc >>1;
return reg_crc;
The following is a simple example of how to write a communication program for Modbus ASCII
mode on a PC by C language.

When this function is enabled, the AC drive operates at full voltage during speed changes. At
the constant speed periods, drive calculates the optimal output voltage value for the load and
may get it reduced up to 30% below the Maximum Output Voltage.

This parameter defines the top count value for the VFD-M internal counter. Please also see
Pr.45 and Pr.46 (setting 13). Counting is incremented when the Multi-Function Input Terminal
M1 or M2, makes a low-to-high transition. Upon completion of the count, either Multi-Function
Output Terminal (MO1) or the Multi-Function Relay Contact (RA, RB) will close.
This parameter sets a preliminary count value for the internal counter. Counter is incremented
by a low-to-high transition on one of the programmed Multi-Function Input Terminals: M1 or
M2 (see Pr.44 or Pr.45, setting 14). Count starts at 01. Upon completion the selected Multi-
Function Output Terminal will close. Preliminary Count could be used to initiate an external
event before the terminal count is reached. (See Pr.38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 45, and 46 for further
details.)
This parameter shows the software version for the AC motor drive.
When this parameter is set to 03, the AC drive will accel/decel in the fastest and smoothest
possible way by automatically adjusting the accel /decel time.
This parameter provides five modes to choose:
If this parameter is set to 04, Accel/Decel time will be equal to or more than
04
parameter Pr.10 ~Pr.13.
AVR function automatically regulates the AC drive output voltage to the Maximum Output
Voltage (Pr.03). For instance, if Pr.03 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage varies from
200V to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be regulated to 200VAC.
When the AVR function is disabled, the Maximum Output Voltage follows the variations of the
input voltage (180V to 264VAC).
Selecting program value 2 enables the AVR function and also disables the AVR function
during deceleration. This offers a quicker deceleration.
For Auto Tune, set Pr.103 to 01 or 02 and press the RUN key. When it is set to 02, motor

Example of Slip calculation: The rated speed of 4 poles/3 / 60Hz/ 220V on the nameplate is
1710RPM. The rated slip is then: 60-(1710/(120/P))=3Hz. (being P the number of poles)
This parameter is used to select the control method at zero speed. If set to 01, the voltage in
Pr.110 is used for holding torque.
When this parameter is set differently to zero, it selects a deceleration S-curve and overrides
Pr.14. Otherwise, Pr.14 sets the deceleration S-curve.
Note: From the diagram shown below, the original setting accel/decel time will be for reference
when the function of the S-curve is enabled. The actual accel/decel time will be determined
This function screens the signal on I/O terminals for CPU malfunctions due to external
transients. A setting of 02, makes the scanning time to be 2 x 2 = 4 msec.

Select an input terminal to be the PID feedback. Please verify the PID feedback position is
This parameter determines the feedback loop Gain. If the gain is large, the response will be
strong and immediate (If the gain is too large, vibration may occur). If the gain is small, the
response will be weak and slow.
This parameter determines the speed of response for the PID feedback loop. If the integral
time is long, the response will be slow. If the integral time is short, the response will be quick.
Be careful not to set (I) too small, since a rapid response may cause oscillation in the PID loop.
This parameter determines the damping effect for the PID feedback loop. If the differential
time is long, any oscillation will quickly subside. If the differential time is short, the oscillation
This parameter determines the integrations upper frequency limit while operating in the PID
feedback loop. (Limit = Pr.03Pr.120). During a fast Integration response, it is possible for the
frequency to surpass a reasonable point. This parameter will help limit this frequency spike.
the I-action is excessively powerful, it will delay the response to the variation. The P-action
could solely be used on a loading system that possesses integral components.
PD Control: when a deviation occurs, the system immediately generates some operational
load that is greater than the single load generated by the D-action in order to restrain the
increment of the deviation. If the deviation is small, the effectiveness of the P-action decreases
as well. In some cases, control systems include integral component loads, which are
controlled by the P action only, and sometimes, if the integral component is functioning, the
whole system will be vibrating. In such cases, a PD control could be used to lower the P-
actions vibration and to stabilize the system. In other words, this control is good for use if the
loads have no braking functions over the process.
PID Control: Uses the I-action to eliminate the deviation and the D-action to restrain the
vibration, and combine with the P action to construct the PID control. The PID control method
normally determines a control process with no deviations, high accuracy and very stable.
This parameter sets a limit of the PID Command frequency. If this parameter is set to 20%,
then the maximum output frequency for the PID operation will be (20% x Pr.03).
This parameter defines the detection time for the loss of a feedback analog signal. The drive
will follow the operating procedure programmed in Pr.124 if the feedback signal is lost for more
than the time set in Pr.123.
This parameter selects the operation of the drive upon a loss of the PID feedback signal.
This parameter is used in conjunction with Pr.115 (04) to input a set point in Hz.
This parameter is used to set the offset between set point and feedback.
This parameter is used to set the AVI input voltage that corresponds to minimum frequency.
This parameter is used to set the AVI input voltage that corresponds to maximum frequency.
If this parameter is set to 01, the reference signal is inverted: 0V corresponds to 60Hz in
Pr.128 and 10V corresponds to 0Hz in Pr.129.
This parameter is used to set the ACI input frequency that corresponds to minimum frequency.
This parameter is used to set the ACI input frequency that corresponds to maximum frequency.
If this parameter is set to 01, 4mA corresponds to 0Hz in Pr.132, and 0mA corresponds to
60Hz in Pr.131.
The main purpose for Pr.128-Pr.133 is to allow changes in the output frequency when setting
the analog frequency or PID feedback control per the feedback sensor. For example, if the
feedback sensor inputs 4mA-20mA but the output frequency from drive that user needs is
5mA-18mA, then user could set Pr.131 to 5mA and Pr.132 to 18mA.

These two parameters are used to set the analog input delay filter in set point or feedback
signal.
These parameters determine the sleep functions of the AC drive. If the command frequency

This parameter sets the procedure for the AC drive to follow once the internal counter attains
the setting value in Pr.96.
This parameter is used to change the Master Frequency externally with the Multifuction Input
Terminals. If any two parameters in the group Pr.39-Pr.42 are set to 14 and 15, and Pr.140 is
set to 01, the up/down frequency operation is initiated as the contact closes and according to
the time of acceleration/deceleration.
This parameter is used to save the frequency setting before powering off.
This parameter changes the source for frequency command by using any Multifunction Input
(Pr.39-Pr.42, setting= 28).
This parameter sets the level for the dynamic braking to operate. The setting value must be
higher than the steady-state DC BUS Voltage to prevent the braking transistor from having a
100%-duty. At 100% duty the transistor and resistor will most likely fail.
These parameters display accumulative time of motor operation. They will not reset to zero
due to parameter reset to factory and will not re-calculate if the 65535 days limit is exceeded.
When Line Start Lockout is disabled (also known as Auto-Start), the drive will start when
powered-up with run commands applied. To start in Line Start Lockout mode, the AC drive
must see the run command go from stop to run after power up. When enabled, the AC drive
will not start when powered up if run commands were applied.

This parameter is used to improve a condition of unstable current in any specific area. For
higher frequencies, you can adjust this parameter to 0.0, and increase the setting value in
Pr.155 for 30HP and above (a setting of 2.0 is recommended).
This parameter is used to set communication response delay time. If you set Pr. 156 to 1 the
communication response delay time will be 1 X 500s=500s, set Pr. 156 to 2 the
communication response delay time will be 2 X 500s=1000s.
This parameter is to select the communication mode, 0 is the existed Delta ASCII
communication mode, whereas 1 is to select MODBUS mode.

Many sources of noise surround AC motor drives and penetrate it by radiation or conduction. It may
cause malfunctioning of the control circuits and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, there
are solutions to increase the noise tolerance of an AC motor drive. But this has its limits. Therefore,
solving it from the outside as follows will be the best.
1. Add surge suppressor on the relays and contacts to suppress switching surges.
2. Shorten the wiring length of the control circuit or serial communication and keep them
separated from the power circuit wiring.
3. Comply with the wiring regulations by using shielded wires and isolation amplifiers for
long length.
4. The grounding terminal should comply with the local regulations and be grounded
independently, i.e. not to have common ground with electric welding machines and other
power equipment.
5. Connect a noise filter at the mains input terminal of the AC motor drive to filter noise from
the power circuit. VFD-M can have a filter as option.
Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you should comply with the environmental
conditions. Here are some remedial measures if necessary.
1. To prevent vibration, the use of anti-vibration dampers is the last choice. Vibrations must
be within the specification. Vibration causes mechanical stress and it should not occur
frequently, continuously or repeatedly to prevent damage to the AC motor drive.
2. Store the AC motor drive in a clean and dry location, free from corrosive fumes/dust to
prevent corrosion and poor contacts. Poor insulation in a humid location can cause short-
circuits. If necessary, install the AC motor drive in a dust-proof and painted enclosure and
in particular situations, use a completely sealed enclosure.
3. The ambient temperature should be within the specification. Too high or too low
temperature will affect the lifetime and reliability. For semiconductor components, damage
will occur once any specification is out of range. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically
check air quality and the cooling fan and provide extra cooling of necessary. In addition,
the microcomputer may not work in extremely low temperatures, making cabinet heating
necessary.
An AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machines due to many reasons. Some solutions
are:
serial reactor
The AC motor drive has a comprehensive fault diagnostic system that includes several different
alarms and fault messages. Once a fault is detected, the corresponding protective functions will be
activated. The following faults are displayed as shown on the AC motor drive digital keypad display.
The three most recent faults can be read from the digital keypad by viewing Pr.73 to Pr.75.
NOTE
Wait 5 seconds after a fault has been cleared before performing reset via keypad or input terminal.

OV hardware error
Return to the factory.
GFF hardware error
OV or LV
U-phase error
Return to the factory.
W-phase error
NOTE
Make sure that RUN command or signal is OFF before executing RESET to prevent damage or
personal injury due to immediate operation.
Modern AC motor drives are based on solid-state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance is
required to keep the AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is
recommended to have a qualified technician perform a check-up of the AC motor drive regularly.
Daily Inspection:
Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:
Periodic Inspection:
Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10
minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully
discharged. It should be less than 25VDC.

6. When using more than 2 brake units, equivalent resistor value of parallel brake unit cant
be less than the value in the column Minimum Equivalent Resistor Value for Each AC
Drive (the right-most column in the table).
7. Please read the wiring information in the user manual of the brake unit thoroughly prior to
installation and operation.
8. In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Pr.25 (Over-voltage stall prevention) must
be disabled. And Pr.102 (AVR function) shall not be used.
9. Definition for Braking Usage ED%
Explanation: The definition of the barking usage ED(%) is for assurance of enough time
for the brake unit and brake resistor to dissipate away heat generated by braking. When
the brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temperature, and braking
torque would decrease accordingly. Suggest cycle time is one minute

10. For safety reasons, install a thermal overload relay between brake unit and brake resistor.
Together with the magnetic contactor (MC) in the mains supply circuit to the drive it offers
protection in case of any malfunctioning. The purpose of installing the thermal overload
relay is to protect the brake resistor against damage due to frequent braking or in case
the brake unit is continuously on due to unusual high input voltage. Under these
circumstances the thermal overload relay switches off the power to the drive. Never let
the thermal overload relay switch off only the brake resistor as this will cause serious
damage to the AC Motor Drive.
The fuse should comply with UL248 and the breaker should comply with UL489.
(Note: Please select enough current capacity of NFB.)

! The filter will cause high leakage current. We recommend the grounding is required.
Installation
All electrical equipment, including AC motor drives, will generate high-frequency/low-frequency noise
and will interfere with peripheral equipment by radiation or conduction when in operation. By using an
EMI filter with correct installation, much interference can be eliminated. It is recommended to use
DELTA EMI filter to have the best interference elimination performance.
We assure that it can comply with following rules when AC motor drive and EMI filter are installed
and wired according to user manual:
EN61000-6-4
EN61800-3: 1996 + A11: 2000
General precaution
1. EMI filter and AC motor drive should be installed on the same metal plate.
2. Please install AC motor drive on footprint EMI filter or install EMI filter as close as possible to
the AC motor drive.
3. Please wire as short as possible.
4. Metal plate should be grounded.
5. The cover of EMI filter and AC motor drive or grounding should be fixed on the metal plate and
the contact area should be as large as possible.
Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with
the plate and shielding.
NOTE
When a thermal O/L relay protected by motor is used between AC motor drive and motor, it
may malfunction (especially for 460V series), even if the length of motor cable is only 165 ft
(50m) or less. To prevent it, please use AC reactor and/or lower the carrier frequency (Pr. 71
PWM carrier frequency).
Never connect phase lead capacitors or surge absorbers to the output terminals of the AC
motor drive.
If the length is too long, the stray capacitance between cables will increase and may cause
leakage current. It will activate the protection of over current, increase leakage current or not
insure the correction of current display. The worst case is that AC motor drive may damage.
If more than one motor is connected to the AC motor drive, the total wiring length is the sum of
the wiring length from AC motor drive to each motor.

The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has great influence
on its lifetime. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer complete protection to the
motor and motor maybe damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too small, it cannot offer the
required performance and the AC motor drive maybe damaged due to overloading.
But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application
requirements cannot be met completely. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions,
including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed,
power and the change of load capacity. The following table lists the factors you need to consider,
depending on your requirements.

Selection Note
1 When the AC Motor Drive is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer
(600kVA or above) or when a phase lead capacitor is switched, excess peak currents
may occur in the power input circuit and the converter section may be damaged. To
avoid this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before AC Motor Drive mains input to
currents).
3 The starting and accel./decel. characteristics of a motor are limited by the rated current
and the overload protection of the AC Motor Drive. Compared to running the motor
D.O.L. (Direct On-Line), a lower starting torque output with AC Motor Drive can be
expected. If higher starting torque is required (such as for elevators, mixers, tooling
machines, etc.) use an AC Motor Drive of higher capacity or increase the capacities for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.
4 When an error occurs on the drive, a protective circuit will be activated and the AC
Motor Drive output is turned off. Then the motor will coast to stop. For an emergency
recommended.
3 Motor accel./decel. time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load
inertia.
decelerate within a certain time with high load inertia that cant be handled by the AC
Motor Drive in the required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit,
depending on the model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for
both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.
Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the
following precautions:
1 The energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.
2 Avoid running motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor
temperature may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the

7 Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power
supply drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be
connected.
8 Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to
the following motor vibration problems:
Resonant mechanical vibration: anti-vibration (damping) rubbers should be
used to mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 50 or 60 Hz and
higher frequency.
To avoid resonances, use the Skip frequencies.
9 The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.
Special motors:
1 Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
The rated current is differs from that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and select the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When changing the pole number
the motor needs to be stopped first. If over current occurs during operation or
regenerative voltage is too high, please let the motor free run to stop (coast).
2 Submersible motor:
The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Please check before operation
and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. With long motor cable between
The lubricating method of reduction gearbox and speed range for continuous operation
will be different and depending on brand. The lubricating function for operating long time
at low speed and for high-speed operation needs to be considered carefully.
5 Synchronous motor:
The rated current and starting current are higher than for standard motors. Please
check before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When
the AC motor drive operates more than one motor, please pay attention to starting and
changing the motor.
